about

julia and Ken

 

We’re Julia and Ken, a husband-and-wife photography team based in Santa Barbara. After more than a decade of photographing weddings together, we’ve found that working side by side comes pretty naturally. We each bring our own perspective to the day, while sharing a love for beautiful light, good composition, and photographs that feel like they belong to the people in them.


We’re easygoing, observant, and happiest when a wedding day feels like a wedding day, not a photoshoot. We’ll help when you need it, keep things moving when it matters, and be there to notice the moments you may not. Digital, film, Santa Barbara, Santa Ynez, or somewhere a little farther away, we’re always up for a good celebration.


When we’re not photographing weddings, you’ll probably find us catching a Santa Barbara sunset, exploring a new winery in the Santa Ynez Valley, or trying a new restaurant or coffee spot around town. Ken is always up for a classic car show, especially when there’s a Porsche involved, while Julia is usually planning our next European adventure. Germany is where she grew up and where we return often, with summers spent exploring a little farther afield in Italy and France.





Our Style


Natural. Intentional. Timeless.

We love the moments that happen naturally, but we also believe in a little direction when it helps create something beautiful. Our approach is relaxed and intentional, with an eye for beautiful light, natural movement, romantic composition, and thoughtful details.


We know how to find the best light, and we’re not afraid to make small adjustments when needed to make sure you look and feel your best. We’ll guide you when it’s helpful, keep things moving, and use a little conversation and humor to make being in front of the camera feel easy and natural.
