Marsha deserves more than 5 stars!!!! I found The Photegé…read morewhen I was looking up photographers in Bakersfield because I wanted to do a family photo session there. It made a lot of sense to find someone who was a local and knew the area and locations for photo spots. I contacted Marsha after reviewing pictures on her Instagram account and after speaking with her on the phone, there was no hesitation as I knew I wanted to hire her and work with her. I am a mother of 2 and I wanted someone who had experience working with young children. Marsha was the perfect choice because having children of her own, she was able to help me prepare for the shoot and during the shoot, she helped guide my family so that we were able to capture memorable moments that I was actually surprised came out "Beautiful" because my toddler wasn't really cooperating (picture a 3 year old hyper little boy running amuck in an open field). My toddler who is very shy to people he meets the 1st time opened up to Marsha right away and even though he was extremely hyper and wasn't cooperating, she was able to get him distracted a few times so that we were able to get a lot of family picture shots. If you looked at the pictures she took, you wouldn't have known the hard effort Marsha put in to get those shots. Thank you so much Marsha and I am definitely coming back to you for more family photo sessions!

She was still able to capture beautiful pictures outdoors and make sure I was safe and comfortable. I was also able to have her take family photos which I was nervous about because I have a very energetic two year old and a sometimes fussy 11 month old, but she was patient and creative with my little ones and still able to get great photos of our family despite a few baby tears and a toddler trying to escape every moment! You can tell she loves what she does, puts a lot of time and effort into her business, and cares about her clients, I highly recommend her! Thank you Janaye!

I cannot rave enough about Marianne Lucas Photography & Cinematography! Marianne, Victor, and their…read moresecond shooters are some of the most wonderful people I have ever met and, on top of that, they are extremely talented and passionate about their art. Their work is absolutely PRICELESS to me, my husband, and our families. I can never thank MLP enough for the beautiful memories she has captured for us. I met Marianne and Victor at wedding show in Santa Clarita, CA. I did a TON of research on wedding photographers and cinematographers all around California and Nevada, and no-one could outshine MLP. I truly connected with her and knew that she would be the absolute best choice for our wedding photography and cinematography. My husband and I had a long engagement, over 2 years, and Marianne was with me EVERY step of the way! She helped me with so much more than photographs - she was always there to listen to me and guide me through every stage of the wedding planning process. She gave me amazing ideas and really kept me excited and inspired for the big day. Marianne has the most wonderful personality; she brings out the light and laughter in everyone. Our wedding party was SO comfortable with her, Victor, and their second shooters, and that is very evident in the beautiful photos and video that we have from our special day. Everyone absolutely LOVED how kind, fun, vivacious, and amazing MLP was during the wedding. MLP went above and beyond for our wedding. Not only did Marianne and Victor capture amazing moments, they also did everything they possibly could to ensure my husband and I were taken care of. Our outdoor wedding in the 117 degree weather was SWELTERING, but what did Marianne do? She literally FANNED me during photos so that I wouldn't overheat! How much more amazing can a photographer be? She is simply the absolute best and I am so thankful that we were blessed enough to be able to use her to cherish our special day. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much MLP.

She's creative, artistic, friendly and she genuinely cares about your event. Since we started working with her, I've had 3 other friends hire her, and everyone says the same thing. I could never imagine using anyone else for anything. We've taken the next step and asked her to be our photographer for life.

I got a quick response and was abele to schedule my newborns photos for the following week which was nice since it was very short notice on my part. Her studio is located downtown across the street from Mexicali. She was very sweet and super professional. She was so careful with my newborn and took her time wrapping her and picking out props. She also did not mind the feeding breaks or diaper changing breaks. She knew how to handle my baby very well. She was also super affordable. She has all the props so no need to bring any unless you would like to. I will continue to use Trinity for more family photos. She truly did an amazing job.
