Wedding at Shutters on The Beach – Jennifer and Billy

By Austin | Published November 22, 2011

This was an absolutely gorgeous day at Shutters on The Beach. Perfect weather, stunning couple, amazing people, and lots of love. Jennifer and Billy were truly a delight to be around and they were so fun to watch as their excitement and love for each other radiated through their whole being. It was kinda contagious. With the Santa Monica Pier and a gorgeous sunset as the perfect backdrop, Shutters on The Beach proved to be the perfect venue for their small but elegant ceremony in the sand followed by a fun and stylish reception. Thanks to everyone involved and congratulations to Jennifer and Billy! I wish you both a life full of love and adventure!

The Yellow Umbrellas, San Buenaventura State Beach – Ventura, CA – David and Monique

By Austin | Published October 26, 2010

I shot David and Monique’s engagement session in Solvang and at Bridlewood Winery earlier this year and it was an amazing day. We had a blast walking around the vineyards and tasting rooms and I feel like I really got to know them throughout the day. So needless to say I was excited about their wedding, especially when I found out it was going to be a small beach wedding at The Yellow Umbrellas at San Buenaventura State Beach in Ventura, CA. We started the day with some getting ready photos at the Crowne Plaza Ventura Beach, then headed down to San Buenaventura State Beach (feet from the hotel) to the Yellow Umbrellas for the ceremony and reception. There were probably only 50 or so guests attending, but this quaint little beach wedding was packed full of fun and love. The day before had been foggy and gloomy, but the clouds departed for their big day and the weather was absolutely perfect. David and Monique are an extremely fun, loving, generous, and considerate couple with a fantastic family and group of friends and I felt honored to be a part of their big day!

Engagement Session in Hermosa Beach – Beti and Berhanu

By Austin | Published August 16, 2010

This was actually my first time shooting in Hermosa Beach, and I am definitely going back! While it is a little more crowded some of the other beaches I normally shoot at, it also offers a different environment and new things to play with (primarily a pier!)! Beti and Berhanu were so much fun and they were totally game for anything. We may have gotten a bit sandy, but it was well worth it. I got to play with some fun textures in post, and I have been playing with the Lensbaby more and more, so keep your eyes out for that as well. Enjoy!
