Posted in Maravilla Gardens

Hello 2019! 2018 was a pretty crazy year and we have so much to share from it still. Keep an eye out for many wedding and engagement posts to come as we dive into this beautiful new year and wedding season. Be sure to contact us if you’re getting married in 2019 so we can be sure to get you on our calendar before it’s all booked. We can’t wait to meet you.

To start the new year we want to share with you this gorgeous Maravilla Gardens (located in Camarillo California) wedding. It’s full of love and laughter and all the goodness you could want on a gorgeous wedding day. Katrina + Jake are kind and insanely fun and funny to be around and we feel lucky to have been chosen to photograph their beautiful wedding day.

While we don’t share them often we do occasionally get to photograph Maternity/Family sessions (often for our past couples as they grow their families). Really there is no bigger compliment than our past wedding photography couples coming back to us to document their special moments. We photographed Elizabeth + Jake’s gorgeous Maravilla Gardens wedding a few years back and have had such a blast getting to know them. We were thrilled to hear they were expecting and wanted us to document this Anniversary/Maternity combo!

These two are going to be such amazing parents and we had so much fun climbing around the hills and catching up!

Danette and Nikhil have such a sweet story about how they met. As dog lovers ourselves we find it especially adorable that they met while walking their dogs! Those pups had no idea one day they would be sibling. ::cue awww:: Isn’t that adorable? Naturally we had to include their pups in their first look, just like the first time!

These two and their wedding party were so much fun and so sweet to work with. We also got to photograph the gorgeous and unique Mountain Mermaid! It’s a very cool estate that was the perfect location for their celebration. These two had so many cute touches including some adorable travel themes (their cake had a gold map on it and their guestbook was a globe!), vintage dishes that Danette spent countless hour collecting, and Paella for dinner!

We hope these two puppy loving world travelers have many amazing years of adventures together!

Be sure to check out their awesome vendors at the bottom of this post!

Oh what?! We have a blog? Yeah we should probably be updating this more with the tons of sessions and weddings we haven’t blogged yet! Keep an eye out for more to come.

Today we have this insanely gorgeous engagement photo shoot with Danielle + Eric in Malibu California. When we initially met with them Danielle let us know she took a poll at her work based on instagram profiles (ours is at @TheSanadas now BTW) and we kept winning out so they knew we had to work together. We’re not going to lie, that was pretty awesome and so so sweet of her to tell us. After chatting with them over coffee and then having their engagement session it’s crystal clear that these two are the sweetest and insanely good at having their photos taken (Danielle said she was a horrible photo taker but, as you can see, she’s amazing). We can’t wait for their wedding next June in Camarillo!
