I’m sure you all know Elizabeth Messina’s stunning and luscious work, but did you know her book, The Luminous Portrait, is available for pre-order right now? The book will be filled with Elizabeth’s stunning portrait work and wisdom on how to create the look yourself.

And on a personal note, knowing and working with Elizabeth, to see her passion and generosity, (and having her support way back at the beginning of my journey,  see her guest post right here), I’m so excited to see this next evolution in her career. I’m certain this will be the first of many books, congratulations Elizabeth!!!!

Today I’m super excited to introduce Patrick Moyer, an amazing wedding photographer, to Santa Barbara Chic. Patrick specializes in film photography and loves capturing the energy and emotions of a couple’s wedding day.

Patrick was born and raised in Santa Barbara and now shoots weddings locally and worldwide.

He loves capturing moments just as they unfold… like this sweet kiss.

Or this adorable couple…

And how sweet is this private moment? I love how water reflects of the couple and the trees in the water. Be sure to check out Patrick’s website and his blog to see more of his beautiful work!

Last night I attend Jose Villa‘s book party and picked up a copy and you should too! Copies of the book can be ordered either on Amazon or right here. Jose’s work is amazing and he is such a sweetheart to work with!  To see more of his work go here and here. Happy shopping!

Barnaby is a recent photographer who relocated from New York to Santa Barbara. His background is in fashion and music photography. And his work as a wedding photographer has the same polish and elegance of a high fashion shoot.

I love the sweetness of this photo.

I love how the blurriness of this photo really captures the effect of the lighting.

This bride is so happy and the light is gorgeous. Barnaby is available for travel worldwide and also offers videography. You can visit his website here and his blog here.
