El Matador Beach, Malibu Sunset Engagement Photos - Jina & Albert

Malibu must be one of my favorite spots in the world! Every time I come back it fills me with joy and inspiration to create and capture that magical West Coast light:)

This past January I had a stop over in Malibu and Los Angeles before documenting a wedding in Seattle and I was so thrilled I met Jina and Albert online and we decided to organize a lifestyle session to capture their engagement photos in El Matador State Beach. Let me tell you this place is crawling with photographers and there must have been at least 5-6 photo sessions happening at the same time. I am not surprised why because this beach is special. It has the rocks, the cliffs, the water and even a rock tunnel! Now I’de like to think we did a couple of things a little differently and really captured the textures and that stunning light;)

Jina and Albert, thank you so much for your energy and for sharing these moments with me!

Villa and Vine, Santa Barbara, CA Wedding - Casey & Rochelle

Casey and Rochelle decided to have an intimate destination wedding in Santa Barbara and I haven’t been as excited about a destination wedding in a long time:) First of all, I love the West Coast so much and travel to LA/Malibu area annually but this time I actually got to stay in sunny Santa Barbara and it was so relaxing! The light by the Pacific Ocean is seriously something else! Second of all, Rochelle found me on instagram and it was a perfect match! It’s always special when the couple loves your work for what it is without the need for pinterest boards and shot lists because as a creative documentary photographer I do my best work when I have your trust to capture the day naturally and in my own style.

Most importantly, Rochelle and Casey are just wonderful people so documenting their laid back celebration was joyful and emotional at times which is everything I hope for on a wedding day:) They exchanged their vows in the garden of Santa Barbara County Courthouse, which is an architectural beauty, and finished the night with an intimate reception dinner at Villa and Vine.
