Los Angeles Wedding Photographer | Chelsea Elizabeth Photography | Westlake Village, Santa Barbara

Amy & Steve had a beautiful Santa Monica engagement session at the Getty Villa, 3rd street promenade & the pier.  Amy has such a great smile! You and tell these two just have so much fun together!  Can’t wait for the beautiful wedding in March!  Congrats!

Jaine and Damian had a fun engagement session with their dog in Santa Monica.  I love the downtown urban feel of the alley’s near the beach. Can’t wait for the wedding in October!

I was so glad to meet Amy & Rick for their engagement session. Since they live in Japan we did everything over email.  I love this red wall we found. I can’t wait to shoot their wedding tomorrow!

I had the pleasure of photographing my kick ass second shooter Kip and his wife Davina. It was about time I did something nice for Kip. He really helps me gets through a wedding. Next time Kips going to take some pictures of me and Steve :) After this session we had a fabulous dinner the King’s Head. We had a really fun wedding there the night before and had to come back and enjoy it on a night off with our spouses. Great night, great photo session!

Desirae and Grealon had their engagement session at the Santa Monica Pier. Desirae’s mom did an amazing job on the flowers for me wedding and I was soooo happy to return the favor. I can’t wait for their wedding at Spanish HIlls in April! This couple was made for the camera!

Erin and Ernie planned a great wedding and reception! The ceremony was held at Church of Our Saviour and the reception was held at the Ye Olde Kings Head in Santa Monica. I just love a good Irish pub! An Irish pub with an Irish band is the icing on the cake! Ernie wore his Army uniform and Erin has the most fabulous pair of Manolo Blahnik’s I’ve ever seen! Even Carry Bradshaw would be jealous!

great detail shot by Kip.

Erin booked The Mulligan’s… a great Irish band!

Saturday morning we did an early photo session with Gary and Nathan. We started at shutters and just worked our way down the beach. Santa Monica is so artsy you could just randomly walk the streets and allys forever and find great photo ops. I love it! My favorite was finding a perfect white wall with “ONE” on it. The font was perfect. Where else would you find such a perfect spot for a couple portrait? I had a great time with Gary and Nathan. Nathan’s such a ham for the camera! We’ll definitely have to do it again :)

I met up with Jennifer and David last Sunday for a really fun engagement session. Jennifer wanted some beach pictures so we headed on down to the Santa Monica Pier. We ended up finding a really cool painted divider with one of Jennifer’s favorite artists. I thought that was a pretty cool find. My favorite spot of the Santa Monica pier is always underneath. I just love playing in the pilings. Such cool architecture shots! We ended the session up on the grass for some lovely sunset backlighting. I can’t wait for their wedding next month at Firestone.
