Wedding Photography in Santa Barbara

We worked with Ryan for our wedding ceremony and reception in Santa Barbara, and he was the most wonderful photographer we could have asked for. We feel so lucky to have found him! From our very first call, he took the time to really understand what we wanted from our wedding photos and helped us plan every detail for the day. His experience shooting in Santa Barbara was such a bonus - he knew the best spots and lighting, and guided us through poses and ideas that felt natural and fun. We’re not exactly pros in front of the camera, but Ryan made everything feel effortless. He was communicative, professional, and organized from start to finish, so we always knew what to expect. And the photos themselves are absolutely stunning - exactly what we’d hoped for. Ryan has a fantastic eye for composition, lighting, and those candid moments that really captured the feeling of the day. We couldn’t be happier and are so grateful to have worked with him!

We could not say more about Taran & Inessa! They came recommended to us by one of our friends who used them for their wedding and boy were the amazing. We worked with Taran for our engagement pictures and for our reception and absolutely loved every picture. Their communication, expertise and professionalism is outstanding. Not to mention, they are the kindest and sweetest people. Would absolutely work with them over and over again! You need them!!!

I worked with Claire for my nuptials in LA. She was available for sessions to work on my vision, offered great ideas and visual references, and was an absolute joy to work with on my wedding day. Claire captured so many beautiful moments, ones I love looking at and sharing with friends, when they see our wedding album on the coffee table.

Josie was the best photographer to work with. From our first email and call, to the day of, she was so easy and fun to work with. On the day, she brought so much energy and made us feel really comfortable. All of our friends and family also felt great with her around. Our sneak peek photos came back while we were on our honeymoon, and it was so special to look through those first pictures right after. Josie did such an incredible job of capturing all of the emotions, from tears to laughter and silly moments. Even with just one photographer, she managed to be everywhere at once and capture so many moments throughout the day. The way she edited the photos stands out because the colors and emotions are so vibrant and warm. It’s hard to describe, but they just capture everything so well. We’re so happy we chose Josie and have these amazing photos to print out and look back on for years to come. Highly highly recommend.

Sofia is beyond what I expected for a photographer. Her kindness and professionalism made me and my husband feel comfortable and on top of the world during our wedding. She perfectly captured special moments, was willing to try new things I suggested, and made us feel confident when posing us. She was knowledgeable of the SB court house which made taking photos timely even when we were running behind. We got all the shots we wanted! Sofia shared some sneaks 24 hours later that had us both emotional. The emotions that the photos showed made us feel like we were getting married all over again!

I worked with Teri for Riley and Tanner’s wedding on April 24 at Villa + Vine in Santa Barbara, and she was absolutely amazing! She captured every moment so beautifully, from the intimate couple portraits to the stunning reception details and all the energy on the dance floor. Her eye for detail and ability to document the day as it naturally unfolded was truly impressive. On top of her talent, Teri was incredibly sweet and such a calming presence throughout the day. She made everything feel seamless and was a true team player from start to finish. I would love to work with her again and highly recommend her to any couple looking for a photographer who’s both kind and incredibly skilled!

Having Sasha be our photographer was the best decision we made for our wedding. She was so so amazing. During the engagement shoot, she taught my husband and I how to loosen up and pose for fun, natural, beautiful pictures so we were comfortable being in front of the camera. And for our wedding, I can't describe how differently things could have turned out if she wasn't there to help guide the day. She was able to take gorgeous family photos with so many little kids involved, and also take us to secluded spots and capture pictures I would have never thought of in a million years. She leads with her artistry and her love of weddings, love, family, and details always shine through in the pictures. We joked shes so good at her job, we felt like we left with a friend! She's incredibly organized, shares her wedding knowledge in such a helpful way, and is so genuinely kind and so very talented. We love her and we miss her!

Working with Candice as our wedding photographer was an absolute gift. From the moment we connected, she understood my vision completely and captured it with such grace and ease. Our wedding at the Gardens at Los Robles Greens was already a dream, but the way Candice documented it brought everything to life in a way that words can't quite describe. She didn’t just take photos — she preserved the emotion, the connection, and the love between my husband and me with such authenticity. Every image feels alive and full of heart. What truly touched me most was the way she honored the memory of my late father. Those moments she captured are now some of my most treasured keepsakes, and I will be forever grateful for her sensitivity and care. Candice is not only incredibly talented, but also genuinely compassionate and thoughtful. She made us feel so comfortable and supported throughout the day, and her calming presence allowed us to just be ourselves. I can’t imagine having had anyone else behind the lens — she made the experience unforgettable in every way.
