Krista + Liston

We LOVE weddings! And this one did not disappoint! We had such a great time photographing Krista and Liston. They are some of the nicest people we have had the pleasure of working with. Their wedding started out getting ready at a private residence on the Riviera. Their first look happened in the back yard where tears and emotions flooded the atmosphere. It was perfect! From there the ceremony and reception was at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History. The ceremony took place under big oak trees where sunlight filtered through over the procession. The evening ended with a wonderful reception consisting of a reworded rap-song toast, bouquet tossing, and cake cutting. To see the full wedding, click here. Hope you enjoyed!

 

                                      

                                      

                                      

                                     

Crazy Busy This Week!

Don't have time for a detailed post because we are busy! Just got back from a photo shoot this weekend for a drag race, have a previous wedding in the queue, a engagement shoot tonight, wedding on Thursday, and then we drive 8 hours to a wedding on Saturday! Holy Moly! Will have a better blog next week but until then you're stuck with this one!

Amber & Matt

We did a great little elopement wedding at the Santa Barbara Courthouse last week! It was so much fun! The bride and groom were so great and easy to work with. They were an awesome couple from the San Diego area that decided to use the Courthouse as their wedding backdrop. Below are a few of the images from that day. Enjoy!

Underwater Photography

Came across this great underwater photography article on Sarah Lee. It has some great shots, tips, and gear recommendations that I wanted to share with everyone. This has definitely been an area of photography I would like to explore further because it so far out of my ordinary realm. It defnitely has it's perks: being in the ocean, having to get more great camera gear, and getting a tan. Here are a few shots from this article to inspire you to maybe trying something out of your element. (all images copyright of Sarah Lee)

Check the article out for more info which identify's a new camouflaged lens to match. Have to talk to the Mrs. about getting this one!

SLR Lounge

So, don't know that much about lenses? Here is a great little article from SLRlounge.com where they explain some of the variances between Canon lenses and the effects of compression and distortion. Sorry guys, no Nikon here. After all, Canon is the best, hehehehe. Alright, I kid a little. Anyways, the whole website is great for explaining all about your camera and everything you would need to know about it so go ahead and explore the rest of the site as well. Hope you enjoy!

WPPI

It's been a while since we've last posted but we've been SOOOO busy! We recently attend WPPI where we learned great new business practices, posing techniques, books to read, and a host of other things that were currently incorporating into our business. It's been so tough to absorb all that we learned and want to accomplish that the task seems overwhelming. However, we're busting our butts to get everything in gear and provide even better photography than we did last year. It's so much fun to attend because it is in Las Vegas where the dining is great as well as all of the entertainment. Well, it's back to work.....until next time!
