Lauren+Brian. Miramonte Resort: Indian Wells Ca Wedding

Jacob Mariano — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 02:41:51 +0000

Lauren and Brian are super energetic and too much fun! (if there is such a thing). After shooting their engagement shoot, we couldn’t wait for their wedding. Such a beautiful location at Miramonte Resort in Indian Wells, Ca. There was never a dull moment with these two and I think it shows in the photos. Hope you enjoy some of our favorites from the day!

Dana+Thomas. Palm Dale Estates: Fremont Ca Wedding.

The move here to the Pacific Northwest has been amazing and it has taken a bit to get into the flow of things in our new life. I know it’s been awhile since the last blog post but I’ll have some more coming your way.

Today I wanted to share a wedding we shot in the San Francisco Bay Area at Palm Dale Estates in Fremont. Dana and Thomas had a sweet moment at the reveal and the rest of the day reflected that love they have for each other. They had a beautiful outdoor ceremony and reception inside the estate. So glad we could be a part! Enjoy some of our favorites.

Lauren+Brian. Palm Springs Engagement.

Jacob Mariano — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 22:15:58 +0000

Lauren and Brian are some of the most bubbly personalities we’ve seen in a couple! These two were such a joy to photograph. We had them jumping, running, climbing hills, and maybe even breaking the law ALL in the name of photography and they were down for all of it! Such a fun location too, amongst all of the windmill farms in Palm Springs. We can’t wait to shoot their wedding in that area next month. Enjoy some of our favorites from the shoot.

iPhone Friday

Jacob Mariano — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 22:01:18 +0000

So it’s been awhile since I’ve posted an iPhone Friday. I figured I would share some of the photos from my phone that we took during our move from Southern California to Seattle Washington. If you didn’t already know we have officially relocated our business and our lives to the Pacific Northwest! A big move but one that we are very excited about.

We will still be shooting weddings and other photography projects in So Cal so if you want us, feel free to contact us and we’d love to work with you.

Thanks to all of our friends and family for your love and support through such a big change in our lives. We love you all!
I hope you all enjoy the photos. As with all iPhone Friday posts, all photos are taken AND edited solely on my iPhone. : )

Janet+Stephen. Hotel Maya: Long Beach Wedding.

Jacob Mariano — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 21:43:37 +0000

Janet and Stephen are one of the sweetest most humble hearty couples we have had the pleasure of taking pictures for. They were married and the always beautiful Hotel Maya in the Long Beach harbor. They had an acoustic duet planning music during the ceremony and reception. You could see the genuine joy in every smile and kiss they shared. Thanks so much for letting us capture your big day! I hope you all enjoy some of our favorite photos.

Erin+Joe. Long Shadow Ranch: Temecula Wedding

Jacob Mariano — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 05:26:37 +0000

We had one of our most favorite engagement shoots with Erin and Joe. It was a good taste of the sweet nature they share and the love that they both showed to one another on their wedding day. They were married at their church and then had a lovely reception at Longshadow Ranch in the Temecula Wine Country. Such a beautiful place for portraits. Here’s a few from the day and of the couple at the winery. Enjoy!

Jared

We got to take some photos of this little guy when he was about 6 months old. Now he’s a full year and growing fast! He had such funny expressions, it was a blast.

The Dodges

We’ve had such a great time capturing the growth of the Dodge family. On this shoot we got a double dose of Dodge! : )

Tommy Dodge and family and his brother Kyle Dodge and family. Such sweet couples with beautiful baby boys. Always a pleasure.

Here’s some photos Jessica took of the adorable little Parker. Enjoy.

iPhone Friday // BIG NEWS

Jacob Mariano — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 08:01:14 +0000

So I know the blog posts have been sporadic at best, but it’s not that we haven’t had anything to blog, rather, we have had too many things to blog!
I want to announce 2 MAJOR changes to our lives.
Back in April we had a miscarriage. We were heart broken but trusted that God had a sovereign plan through it all. Here 5 months later we are so happy to say that

WE ARE PREGNANT…again.

The current due date is April 30, 2012.
Thank you so much for your prayers and support! We can’t wait for life with our third little crazy! : )

Item number 2 on the announcement list is also LIFE CHANGING!
Although there’s a long back story to how this all came about, I won’t write a book on this post with all of that. I’ll just say…

WE ARE MOVING TO WASHINGTON!

We’re a couple of Southern Californians born and raised so it’s a bit scary and new and outrageous thinking about moving our family, business, and LIVES so far away. But we are BLOWN AWAY by how the Lord has orchestrated everything.
We can’t wait to serve in leading worship for the youth at Overlake Christian Church in Redmond.
We’re eager to start the adventure of a new state and all the beautiful places to fine tune our photography. (All you Washington brides and grooms, get ready!)

I said I wouldn’t write a book, so feel free to ask us any questions you have and we’ll keep everyone updated on the progress of the move. Here’s a couple of photos from my phone from our trip this past week.

Lake Washington

Snoqualmie Falls

And 1 more thing…
I came across this cool site that allows me to stay connected to friends and family…it’s called Facebook! Apparently it’s a big enough deal that they made a movie about it!

I decided now is as good a time as any to join the rest of the world.
Come and be my friend. : )
