Jeff + Abby | Beloved | Stearn’s Warf, Santa Barbara

Austin — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 10:15:57 +0000

Jeff is a computer genius and Abby is a botany expert. They both speak like 3 languages better that I can speak one, and they have even more heart than they do brains. Seriously, the sweetest couple! Here’s a few that I really loved from their Beloved Session.

The New Office is Coming Together

Austin — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 22:46:56 +0000

Here’s a little teaser shot of the new office. We’ve got it painted now and everything moved into place, just about! Can’t wait to start meeting up with couples here.

Kenny + Liliy | Best Shots Ever, of All Time, of Them, in Love, in the World, EVERRRRR

Austin — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 14:42:15 +0000

I could run-on-sentence about these two for hours. They are an inspiration to anyone who sees them together. So right for each other… I’m so glad these guys are getting married!

Introducing: Digital Negatives via Film Drives

Austin — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 11:50:30 +0000

We’re super excited to announce that we will NEVER again be designing a DVD again – haha, YES! DVDs took much too long to make, they were so fragile, and come on – who uses discs anymore? How much cooler are these things? When you order a hard copy of your Digital Negatives, or if you’re currently awaiting to get one – chances are that we’ve already got one of these bad boys with your name on it!

xoxo,

Photo Update + Teasers

Austin — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 12:17:19 +0000

If you’re asking the question “where are my photos?” and you haven’t gotten an email from us yet, I just wanted to give you some peace of mind. Update: NOT peice of (my) mind! We are not sitting on the beach somewhere sipping martinis and laughing it up, okay? We appreciate your patience through this crazy season! More soon!

xoxo, A&D

Cody + Laura’s Santa Barbara Zoo Wedding | Teaser

Austin — Sun, 21 Aug 2011 13:30:51 +0000

We can’t wait to show some more from Cody and Laura’s kick ass day. Until then, this photo should make you suffer a little bit:

Mike + Kami’s Kellogg House Wedding at Cal Poly Pamona

Austin — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 10:49:47 +0000

This wedding is so flipping amazing that after you have looked at these photos, you will be healed of all illnesses, all of your debts will be paid, and you will never have to floss again.

Doesn’t that make you want to go out and tattoo an entire limb? So awesome. Okay, all love to Mike and Kami… you guys are amazing.

Jared + Nicole | Engagement Sneak Peak

Austin — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 14:30:18 +0000

Jared and Nicole helped rebuild New Orleans after Katrina; they taught English in Korea for a year together, and recently they decided on the craziest of all adventures: to get married! As always, I cannot wait to post more. Until then…

Free Bird

Austin — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 10:34:47 +0000

I was just doing some late night editing when I happened upon this photo of a hawk that we took during an outdoor wedding this summer. I had to post it because I couldn’t stop looking at it.

JD + Cathline’s Calliote Canyon Wedding in Ojai

Austin — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 11:18:13 +0000

Besides the minister getting lost in the hills of Ojai and almost not making it, this was one of the most chill weddings I’ve ever been a part of! JD and Cathline knew what they wanted: an intimate wedding in the presence of just a few close friends and family, and that’s exactly what they got.

Thanks for checking this out. Our love to JD and Cathline – you guys are the best!

PS: this is my first blog post using BlogStomp. Pretty cool, but not quite the best photo blogging tool in the world yet. Needs some definite improvements before I recommend it. Worth checking out though.
