Destination Wedding Photographer | Santa Barbara County Wedding Photographer Karen D Photography
When Daniela and I were brainstorming on ideas for her and Adrian’s engagement session locations, her requirement was a location that had a view of the city (Santa Barbara, that is) and the mountains.

A wedding at the Santa Barbara Courthouse followed by a reception at the Canary Hotel. As far as typical Spanish-style Santa Barbara architecture goes, Xavier+Jennifer hit the nail on the head with their beautiful big day! These two are hard-working, fun-loving and seriously couldn’t be more adorable together, which I found out from their Alice […]

From my meeting and Venice […]
For June’s Vendor Highlight we featured Your Cake Baker, interviewing none other than owner, Wayne Kjar. I had the opportunity to sit down and chat with Wayne at his Santa Barbara (2018 Cliff Drive, Santa Barbara, 93109) bakery. I’ve worked with Wayne on several different occasions, and the biggest reason I love working with Wayne is […]
