Alix and Matt go together like peanut butter and ladies (wait…what?). You know what we mean! They are awesome, we had an awesome time, and the wedding will be awesome. How many times can we say awesome in an engagement session blog post? An awesome amount of times! We wandered around Griffith Park and the streets of downtown L.A for their shoot and it was…. pretty cool (got you that time didn’t we???). Check. It. Out.

 

Disney Concert Hall Engagement

When we first were e-mailed by Courtney and Matt we got really excited because we have been wanting to shoot a Santa Barbara Zoo wedding for what seems like forever! We looked in to having our own wedding at the Santa Barbara Zoo but, due to the time of year we got married, it just didn’t work for us. So, we were stoked to be able to experience a wedding there (and see the Zoo’s new baby giraffe!). And let’s not overlook the fact that Courtney and Matt are stunning human beings (both inside and out) and we had a killer time at both their engagement session and on their wedding day. It was an especially good time because Matt is friends with one of our past grooms, and it always makes photographing weddings a little more fun when we get to see our other couples at their friends’ weddings! :)
