This week I will be featuring a series of wedding photographers giving us their thoughts on different aspects of wedding photography. Amongst them, they have had their work featured in magazines such as Martha Stewart, Grace Ormonde Wedding Style, Your Wedding Day, Inside Weddings, In Style, and Town and Country,  just to name a few. I hope you enjoy this behind-the-scenes look with these talented wedding photographers!

Silver, sling-back, and Jimmy Choo? Yes, please. Photo from Mary Jane Photography.

I’m a big fan of little detail shots from weddings (can you tell?) and I particularly love creative ring shots.

This shot from Cameron Ingalls is so indie and cool.

From Jose Villa, I love the ring’s reflection on the blue surface.

Today’s photo comes for the super talented, Elizabeth Messina. I’m love the vibrant red socks and the feather detail on the pumps.

Today’s photos come from Katie Moos. The shoes have an old Hollywood feel and I love the slingback style.

On Monday I had the pleasure of meeting Janey of Mary Jane Photography. Another graduate of Brooks, she’s very light-hearted and easy going. One of her favorite things to shoot are engagement sessions. It’s a chance for her to get to know her couple and vice versa, without the stress of the big day.

And on the big day, she’s really good at getting those subtle little moments. I love this shot of the bride giving her dad a high five after the ceremony.

Sorry there was no Shoesday last week, so today we’re doing double time. The top and middle shot is by the lovely Katie Moos and the shoes are made by Grace Footwear. I love the sophisticated little bow.

Below, by Halberg Photographers is a stunningly chic, feathered shoe. By who else, but Manolo Blahnik.

Today’s photo is a double whammy courtesy of Jose Villa. I’m loving the striped socks and those flirty yellow shoes!

Today’s photo comes from a recent wedding shot by the very cool Cameron Ingalls, a photographer based in San Luis Obispo. I love the crisp green shoes against the straw. So chic and rustic!

I’m loving today’s photo from Halberg Photographers of these fire-engine red shoes. I love when brides make a bold shoe statement under their wedding dress that shows off their personality.

Today’s photo comes from the very talented Jose Villa. These shoes remind me of Dorothy’s Ruby Red Shoes, but in a more chic color.

Today’s photo comes from Susan Bordelon, a photographer based in LA. I love the intense aqua blue behind these simple and chic Jimmy Choos.

The lovely Katie Moos sent me these shoes photos from a recent wedding. They’re Prada baby! I love the silk rose, its so feminine and so modern.

They even look, dare I say it— comfortable?

Because I think everyone needs a regular shoe fix, every Tuesday will be Shoesday here at Santa Barbara Wedding Chic. This week our photo comes from Ryan Phillips Photography. How fabulous are these sparkly pink shoes?

Today it’s my pleasure to bring you a feature on another of Santa Barbara’s outstanding wedding photographers. Tim & Cheryl Halberg are a husband and wife team that specialize in wedding photography and portraits. Both graduated from the Brooks Institute of Photography, and both have a passion for providing outstanding customer service and producing images that truly capture a moment in time. Tim’s forte is weddings; he’s excellent at getting those key detail shots that really capture the essence of the day. I particularly love these images:
