Santa Barbara Engagement Photography, Kenneth Morgan

Lauren and Carlos are getting married soon… July 3, 2011!

An afternoon and evening spent with Lauren and Carlos resulted in some beautiful images that celebrate their engagement. Los Olivos and Santa Barbara presented the perfect fairytale backdrop, and the couple provided the chemistry. The story of their love unfolded before the camera, and as you watch their slideshow, you can almost feel the chemistry between them.

Their story begins when they met on a blind date during a UFC fight screening at his house. And since that magical day? Countless memories of local adventures, camping, barbecuing, traveling, exploring new restaurants, hanging out at the Elks Lodge, and relaxing.

The funniest thing that has happened to them? A romantic, surprise picnic at Montana De Oro. A beautiful day. A breathtaking view. An unexpected snake on the path back to the car. Carlos, in a moment of panic, pushes Lauren, towards the snake and then runs the other way.

So Carlos is afraid of snakes, but that is no deal breaker, says Lauren. She loves the way he shows her he cares. Tucked in bed every night. A sweet “I love you” before heading to work. And he even watches hours of wedding shows with her. Maybe he secretly loves them as much as she does.

My best, Kenneth

P.S. They both dig country music!

A very special thank you to Amy Northcote from Fancy Events

Santa Barbara Wedding, Emily and Mike

Occasionally I get to shoot a really extra cool wedding… Emily and Mike were married in Santa Barbara. Their Wedding started at 1:30 but the very cool and interesting thing was that their reception wasn’t until 5pm! We spent the whole time in-between cruising downtown Santa Barbara making beautiful pictures! Here’s a slide show of their phenomenal day! Congratulations Mike and Emily!
