Moments by Frank
For us it's not just about taking photographs; it's
about capturing the essence of who you are, your connection, and the
authentic moments that make your story truly unique. As a Santa Barbara
wedding photographer, I believe in documenting the real, unfiltered
emotions that unfold naturally on your wedding day—from the quiet, intimate
glances to the joyful bursts of laughter.
“timeless and candid, blending editorial elegance with the warmth of genuine, heartfelt moments”.
Veils & Tails Photography
Creating beautiful images is Kristen’s passion, and capturing your most precious memories is an honor for her. The images we cherish most typically aren't the clean, perfectly posed moments of our lives. Our favorites are those that capture the cackling laugh at your best friend's dad jokes, or when the dog can't stay out of the shot with his two favorite humans. While Kristen’s happy to capture the former with plenty of TLC, the latter holds her heart. She’s spent nearly a decade photographing weddings, pets and families, honing her skills so that when those moments arrive, her camera and herself are ready for them.
Each wedding is a new adventure, each couple unique, bringing endless new opportunities to create magic. Authenticity and fun inspire each of her photos, and she strives to capture real moments, big squishy hugs, and belly laughs.
Kyle London Photography
With his fiancée Etta by his side, Kyle London works to joyfully tell the story of your wedding day while documenting the profusion of emotions and people that encompass it all. They believe in the genuine laughs and candid tears as much as the perfectly balanced portraits which is achieved through lots of light-handed direction and countless corny jokes. They strive to be more than just another vendor, but rather a friend along for the wedding to share their passion of authentic imagery, and hope couples will join them beforehand for an adventurous engagement shoot and perhaps a glass of wine or coffee along the way to ensure that comfort and bond exists on the day of.

And while she love, love, loves a good Santa Barbara beach wedding, she loves that she has been fortunate to capture amazing weddings all over the United States, from Los Angeles to Boston and from Michigan to Texas.
