LOVE NOTES & RAVES

Juanitas Family | Family Session

“In our book, NEMA Photography is OFF-THE-RECORD with 10 Stars! This husband and wife team is constantly improving their skills with new techniques, equipment, designs and locations. We are confident in reviewing them, as our yearly family portraits began with NEMA back in 2010. We have continued to have them shoot our yearly family portraits AND capture the moments from several of our family and friends’ events/functions. NEMA Photography are professionals who make you feel comfortable in front of their cameras. They have such a family-friendly attitude and take the time to study their clients’. They definitely are patient, especially with children of all ages and HUGE families. One of the things we love about NEMA is their dedication and motivation to create new images/looks all the time. They strive for new locations to challenge themselves and give their clients’ their own individuality.NEMA Photography NEVER rushes you during sessions, and yet provide ample amounts of proofs to review. Their finished images are remarkable with their beautiful and natural look. Here’s to another year NEMA! We look forward to viewing and reading your blog and of course having you capture our year of events once again.”

Aileen Phu | Family Session

“We would definitely recommend Nema Photography. Mar and Ed are a pleasure to work with. Throughout the years, they’ve been able to capture all of our special moments, from our engagement session to our wedding to our annual family photos. And Mar is always so patient with our kids. She always knows how to capture their cutest moments.”

Donella Rosete | Family Session

Iris Knightly | Family Session

Marianne and Rj Huerto | Wedding

“We were extremely happy to have chosen NEMA Photography capture one of the biggest days of my life! They were very professional and worked well to accommodate not only myself and the groom, but also the vendors. All of our pictures turned out beautiful and our guests LOVED the photo booth. I highly recommend them for weddings, engagement sessions, family sessions… yes, they do more than just weddings!!! =)

Rosemarie | Family Session

“We had the pleasure of having our family portrait session with NEMA Photography. This was by far the best session we have ever had with photographers and will be definitely using them in the future. NEMA is a husband/wife team who take the time to get to know you, not just tell u where to go and snap pix. This makes the session so much less stressful and more fun. They also have kids and were so patient with ours. Even when our daughter was running off, they remained unphased and their patience showed.
My favorite part is their focus on making you look and feel good! We were never put in uncomfortable positions just because it was a standard pose for them. They made sure we were comfy no matter what we were doing.Thank you again NEMA for capturing our family in such a special way! You are both so talented and we look forward to working with you in the future.

Susanne and Danny | Wedding

“My husband and I booked NEMA Photography for our wedding and are very pleased. Marlana and Edmond are very friendly, patient and easy to work with. The engagement session they arranged for us at Angels stadium was awesome! And our wedding photos are beautiful. It’s clear they really care about satisfying their clients. Our photos came back timely and we had many shots to choose from. We got great value from the whole experience. I know several others who have hired NEMA – all are happy customers. We would recommend NEMA to anyone for their photography needs.”

Rosie and Edmund Estrelon | Family Session

“We would like to thank Marlana & Edmond for taking our first family pictures. They have perfectly captured the inner beauty of our 8 month old son. It’s not easy trying to capture these moments but thanks to NEMA, they did an outstanding job. Thank you so much for your creativity and passion for your work. We’ve enjoyed every minute with them. I highly recommend them, you will definitely have a blast!”

Kelly Johns | Family Session

” I cannot recommend Edmond and Marlana enough! We had family photos taken in November and our then 9 month old son was not happy about it! He missed his morning nap and was being very difficult. Luckily, Marlana and Edmond are also parents so they knew just the trick to get our little guy smiling. We had such a great time with them and get compliments on our photos all the time, they turned out amazing!”

Krista Casey | Engagement Session

“They are a great husband and wife team, that are easy and fun to work with. The pictures for our engagements session turned out great and we have been able to use all of them throughout the wedding events!”

Thida Sukrachan | Family Session

“I highly recommend NEMA Photography for any of your photo op. needs. Marlana and Edmond are a great team to work with. Not only are they professional, but their creativity when it comes to photography is fantastic! Their photo blog definitely represents and displays their great skill and “eye” for a wonderful picture. Keep up the good work!”

Sophie Aiello | Family Session

“While visiting from Boston, Mass, we decided to take some professional family photos in San Diego with our 20 month old daughter. Well, that is EXACTLY what we got! Professional, comfortable and amazing talent. Marlana and Edmond were not only amazing with Joe and me, but they were so awesome with our baby! They kept her amused for about 2 hours! They captured so many wonderful shots that I am going to have a very difficult time choosing which ones to get framed. This trip was a very special one for our family and I cannot express how grateful we are that NEMA Photography was the talent that documented it for us. Thank you!”

Larry Lui | Family Session

“Great team, would highly recommend them over and over. We had our family Christmas pictures taken and our family and friends were all very impressed with how the pictures turned out. Marlana and Edmond, thanks for the great pictures!”

Mariel Avalos | Family Session

“NEMA photographed my kids and let me just put it to ya’ll this way: Marlana was noticeably pregnant with her littlest. Not only did she move (a lot) around and carry stuff, but she laid down on the grass to get the best shot. She’s my hero. She made my kids feel so comfortable so they were all smiles. Wonderful work! We are having another session this coming week!”

Kristina Schneider | Wedding

“I cannot say how much we loved working with Marlana and Edmund. We have received so many compliments on our wedding and engagement photos with friends telling us they wished NEMA could have taken their photos. They have an amazing eye and they really captured the feeling of our wedding. I love taking photos of doors and other architectural features but I never mentioned this to them. When I received our photos, there were amazing shots of our first look, ceremony, and reception site. It shows how they work hard to capture the mood their clients are going for. We definitely will be going to them for next photography needs.”

Anna Baylon | Family Session

“Oh M G!!! Mar and Edmond you have just made my life way too complicated! Now I have to choose from all these gorgeous photos! Thank you so much, they turned out so great, they completely exceeded my expectations! Love love love them! You rock!” It certainly was an unforgettable photo experience! Gabbee and I are so excited to see the pics! I love the way you two work so well as a team and only wish you both the best and may your business flourish!”

Kathlyn Cancel | Family Session

“Marlana and Edmond were great every step of the process – from their suggestions of great locations, to their keen eye for every detail in our shots, they made our session not only comfortable, but fun, and the service and turn-around times were incredible. Their skill and hard work show in every picture and we’ve received lots of great feedback from our awesome photos. We highly recommend them and will definitely hire them again for our next photography needs!”

Mychelle Fernandez | Family Session

“You guys did such a great job on our family portraits! And thank you for being so patient with our little monster =) If only you were available for our wedding…we would’ve hired you without a doubt. Between the two of you, you strike the perfect balance of classic and artistic photography. We will definitely recommend you to our friends!”
