Camberly + Rich: Carpinteria Engagement Photography

Friday, January 27, 2012 Posted in Engagements, Photography

Sassy, silly, and super cool are how I would describe Rich and Camberly (was that cheesy? oh well). Joe and I had such a good time roaming Carpinteria with these two when they came into town for their engagement session. One thing I love about our couples is the willingness to have fun with a session and literally just jump in the water. It may have taken a tiiiiiiny bit of convincing but these two lovebirds went for it and we got some rockin’ beach photos from our session! Another thing we loved with these two is we got to see them at another couple’s wedding last year and we will be seeing them at least one other time this year at Camberly’s sisters wedding. We absolutely love getting to see past and upcoming brides at wedding, it’s like seeing old friends!

Ava + Tom: Walnut Grove Wedding, Moorpark CA

Wednesday, January 18, 2012 Posted in Photography, Weddings

So you might immediately recognize these two from just a few posts down! We can’t say enough about how awesome Ava and Tom are and just how super cute their Walnut Grove wedding was. They had so many adorable and rustic details, even down to the s’mores and pie stations! Their wedding was filled to the brim with love and support of amazing people all around. Ava honored her Armenian heritage by following a few traditions we thought were lovely! Including having all the single gals around her sign her wedding shoes while she was getting ready, having her brothers put money in her shoes and slip them on her as well as breaking a plate as they entered into their reception. It was a lot of fun to say the least.

Lisa + Chris Santa Barbara Wedding Photographer

Tuesday, January 17, 2012 Posted in Engagements, Photography, Weddings

When we met with Lisa and Chris they made one thing very clear: they really wanted photos to be the most important part of their wedding. We did our best to maintain our composure through our excitement for the rest of the meeting while we brainstormed ideas with them (seriously, we could barely make it to the car before we were reveling in how excited we were for this shoot). In the end they decided that they wanted us to shoot a short ceremony at the Santa Barbara Courthouse and then do photos with just the two of them for four more hours around Santa Barbara, Carpinteria, and Ventura! Oh, and did I mention that the Ventura County Fair just happened to be in town that day and they decided that they wanted to shoot there too? Oh yeah. That totally happened! In short, we had a really great time shooting this awesome couple.

Ava + Tom: Southern California Engagement Photography

Tuesday, January 3, 2012 Posted in Engagements, Photography

I truly think Ava + Tom belong in an Abercrombie catalog. They just have that California ease about them. And they are so down to earth and fun! I think all I probably need to say about Ava and Tom is best depicted in the first photo… That’s right, they climbed a GIANT tree during their engagement session!! How awesome is that!? Even though we only met them 2 weeks before their wedding, we had an awesome time roaming a nearby beach camp area and the shores between Point Mugu and Malibu and getting to know them both. We cannot wait to show you their beautiful rustic wedding which was at Walnut Grove in Moorpark, CA. For now enjoy just a few from their engagement session:
