I really want to start shooting engagement sessions, but I don’t want to limit myself to only engaged couples, I want to capture the LOVE from ALL couples! –I know that sounded super corny! I’m going to include a short passage of their relationship story (because each one is so different) and I will call this my LOVE STORY COLLECTION! (Side Note: When Jack and I first began dating back in 2004 his father would always call us “Love Story” & and it just stuck with me.) So here is my first Love Story Shoot… I asked my best friends Darlene & Alex to let me shoot them. The experience was pretty funny, it was so hard for me to explain how to pose or to even come up with different poses –I had a brain total fart. Good thing I had my Ma there to throw out ideas. It was hard for them to take me seriously, they wanted me to put on a mask to cover my face because I would make them laugh –and I’m not that funny! I learned that I need to move my feet more… I have to not be afraid to walk around them to get different angles. I also need to study different poses, ones that look natural. So Salute to my first Couple Shoot!!! Thanks to Dee & Alex for bearing with me! I need to Practice. Practice. Practice!!!
LOVE STORY {Darlene & Alex} Alex & Darlene attended High School together and became the best of friends. Alex was always secretly in love with Darlene, and she pretended not notice! They had so much in common; sports, music, friends, etc. Finally their senior year of high school, they decided to take a chance at love and take their relationship to a whole new level. Seven years later they are married with children. Laughter & Love is the foundation of their relationship, and it seems to be working...

Pics came out great! Alex looks more comfortable when Darlene is facing him. It's like he can't help but smile. Good job.

I'M JANELLE MARINA
Wife, Mama Shark, + Photographer. Most days, you'll find me in mismatched socks and a top knot, working behind my computer with a smile on my face, listening to Zac Brown Band and R&B --or, dancing in the kitchen with my 3 littles and hunka husband, seeing who could come up with the coolest dance moves. I'm a wedding photographer, West Elm lover, aspiring advocate for our buddies with special needs, and a Certified Dreamer since 1986. We live in a cozy city in Southern California and are always up for a good adventure. I enjoy telling stories with my camera, grubbing on spicy food, and solving the latest Dateline case.
