As you may have noticed, I LOVE engagement shoots that focus mainly on the couple and the scenery – I think it helps make the couple’s love the focus of the shoot! And really, what needs to be captured more in an engagement shoot than love?! Jose Villa sent us this shoot and I adore it – a beautiful couple in love, big Santa Barbara trees, stylish outfits (especially love the unexpected pops of color the bride mixes in!) and of course Jose’s amazing talent in capturing it all!

 

May you be inspired,

This weekend I am heading up to Santa Barbara for a friends wedding and in thinking about it I realized I am a real Santa Barbara fan.  I love the  terraine, the vineyards, the landscape and the rich history. Two of my favorite photographers (Jose Villa and Elizabeth Messina) hail from the Santa Barbara area and they shoot some amazing weddings there. Below are some of the images of Santa Barbara and the surrounding areas that I find truly inspiring.
