Matt and Molly!!!

Matt and Molly had the sweetest wedding at the beautiful Alice Keck Park Memorial Gardens. They shared their special day with their closest family and friends. This couple was so sweet together and I am so very happy for them both!!

I love this sweet pose. They look so romantic together. The key to my posing is to catch real life moments where my couples are being authentic. Every couple has their own way of being with one another and it’s important for me to connect with them in that way. When I was starting out as a photographer, I researched many articles about posing and how to take great portraits. Here are some tips on how to put together a couples photo session. https://www.pixpa.com/blog/couple-poses-guide

The perfect dip.

Prom 2017

I had so much fun photographing this group of young adults.  They were so funny and down for anything!  Prom is such a crazy time for teens!  For most, it's the final celebration before they part ways and adventure out on the next chapter of their lives.  There are always those people that you never lose touch with.  Here is a group that I'm sure in 10 years will still be in touch with each other.

Patrick and Georgina

I had the honor to photograph Patrick and Georgina become husband and wife at the Santa Barbara Courthouse.  They met in L.A. a couple of years ago and since Georgina was from England they had a beautiful long distance courtship for some time.  They obviously have a deep deep love for one another.  It was so lovely to photograph them as they vowed to share their lives with one another. Congratulations to you both!!!!!
