Major congrats on your recent engagement! I'm so honored that you're considering having me spend your wedding day along side of you! Wedding photography is a lot of things, but most of all it's an investment in someone to capture and document your wedding day. When the wonderful day is done, the cake has been eaten, the dress hung, you are left as newlyweds with only your wedding photographs to remind you of your epic day. 

THE IMAGES WE CREATE TOGETHER
​WILL BECOME YOUR FIRST FAMILY HEIRLOOM

Spend some time reviewing this guide. If after reading this, you feel like we'd be a great match for each other, let's meet either over coffee or via Skype to discuss your needs & vision for your wedding! ​

HI YALL!  I'M JANELLE MARINA

I MAKE IT SIMPLE, KEEP IT LIGHT, & FOCUS ON THE CANDID MOMENTS

​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 some R&B --or, dancing in the kitchen with my 3 wildlings 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 packed for the next adventure. We only have one life, I believe in making it count, keeping it real, and showing off my terrible singing skills. I enjoy telling stories with ​my camera, sipping on my spicy jalapeño margaritas, and cracking the latest Dateline case. 
My photography style is soft, fun and romantic. I will do anything to get a authentic laugh out of you and I promise I won't make you hold awkward poses that make you feel like robots. I make it simple for you, keep it light, and focus on the precious candid moments that naturally occur between two people who are madly in love. Years from now, I want you to look at your wedding photographs and have all of those memories to come flooding back. The bliss, sentiment, light, and laughter from the day you wed.

2019 COLLECTIONS

Every wedding is unique, like you!

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE ENGAGEMENT SESSION?
One hour session at the location of your choice, travel fees apply to locations beyond 60 miles of 91709. Choosing a location and outfits is the hardest part, so I am here to help! I offer styling ideas and I even offer my favorite location options for whatever scenery you want. I am open to your ideas and suggestions to make sure your session is perfect! You receive around 50 digital images from your session, and they are delivered about 3-4 weeks after your shoot.

WHAT IS YOUR SHOOTING STYLE?
I like to consider myself a fine art photojournalistic photographer. What that means is, I am moving back and forth throughout the day from directing, setting up styled artistic shots, to stepping back and allowing genuine moments to unfold naturally. I believe there are times where you need me to take the lead to keep things moving along, and then there are moments that you shouldn’t even know I am there. This is my approach on a wedding day.

CAN I PURCHASE ADDITIONAL HOURS?
Absolutely! If you are getting ready on the same site as your ceremony and reception then 8 hours of coverage is most likely perfect for you. If you have 2-3 locations or you want a grand exit captured, you may need to think about adding an additional 1-2 hours of coverage for us to get to all of your special moments!

DO YOU TRAVEL TO WEDDINGS?
I love to travel for weddings and engagement sessions. I am centralized within Orange County, Los Angeles, Inland Empire, and Temecula. I do not charge any travel fees for events within a 60 mile radius of 91709. I am also available for destination weddings world wide. Please contact me directly for more details regarding destination-wedding travel fees.

WHEN DO I RECIEVE MY IMAGES?
You get your images within 4-6 weeks following you wedding day, but don't worry you will see sneak peeks a lot sooner! I feature a preview of your wedding story in my journal post within a week after your wedding, so you get to relive those precious moments while you're honeymooning with your love! 

WHAT IS AN ONLINE GALLERY?
DOWNLOAD –
No more waiting for your wedding disc to come in the mail! We love that our brides and grooms get their photos instantly. Our galleries allow digital download of the full resolution images directly to your desktop.
SHARE –
You will receive a link to your gallery that you are able to email or text to your friends and family who will all be asking for wedding photos. It used to be that they had to come visit to see pictures, now it's as simple as sharing the link!
PRINT –
It is important that you have access to high quality professional prints and products to beautifully display your photographs. Our galleries give you access to professional printing labs, and they ship directly to your front door.

DO YOU RECOMMEND OTHER VENDORS?
A smooth and enjoyable wedding day has everything to do with the wedding vendor team you hire, and I love helping brides and grooms find great vendors that I know will take care of them. 

LET'S DO THIS

All wedding dates are available on a first come, first serve basis. Dates will be reserved by submitting a completed contract and a retainer of $500. It is always lovely to meet up before booking your date, regardless of how we meet: whether it be a coffee date, phone conversation, or Skype! Shoot me an email, let's set up a time to chat and get to know one another!
