alex and amanda's engagement session

so, i actually met alex's family before i met alex or amanda. when amanda first contacted me we talked on the phone and instantly hit it off. now, amanda really wanted to see and hold an album - but, she and alex lived in the bay area and weren't going to be in santa barbara anytime soon. however, alex's mom was heading up to the bay area for a weekend visit. so, i headed over to the house, dropped off some of my work, and got the chance to meet alex's awesome family. they were sweet, alex and amanda are sweet, and they're going to have sweet wedding at fess parker's doubletree resort. and, as you can see in the photos, alex and amanda are such a fun loving couple that they hardly stopped smiling the entire e-session. we shot at hendry's beach just down from alex's parents house in hope ranch.

stephanie and dustin's engagement session

stephanie and dustin were so much fun to shoot, and they were excited to take pictures at this quiet little cove near town. its so great to be able to drive just a few minutes from santa barbara and have a beach all to yourselves. we had a great time and stephanie and dustin were up for anything! i can't wait for the beautiful beach wedding this spring and reception at the hotel mar monte.

casey and joe's wedding

casey and joe are one of the most relaxed and easy going couples around. and their great attitudes toward enjoying the day put everyone at ease. casey and joe were married at the beautiful eucalyptus ln.

i had a blast at their e-session too, so had to include a few of those as we cruised around downtown ventura.
