Chris and Katie Humphreys

Featured in the Knot!

This past summer, Chris and I got the chance to be a part of Betsy and Ken's beautiful wedding at their home in Greenwich, CT. We were thrilled to have a chance to work with our our friends from Lyndsey Hamilton Events, along with the always amazing Matthew Robbins from Artfool.  We had such fun at this wedding and we were so excited when we heard that The Knot wanted to feature Betsy and Ken's beautiful day!  The latest issue of the The Knot New York hit newsstands this month and had a little write up on their special day!

(And, if you look closely in the picture of Betsy and Ken's house, you'll see Chris made a cameo appearance!)

Jesse and Christina

On Saturday, Katie and I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Jesse and Christina who took the time to drive down from the Bay area and do an engagement session here in Santa Barbara.  Katie and I have been looking forward to this shoot for months because we first started talking to Jesse and Christina way back in June of 2008!  We could tell from our first conversations with them that they were the sweetest couple, and getting to hang out with them for a few hours on Saturday reaffirmed that feeling. 

We had a total blast walking around downtown Santa Barbara shooting with them. 

I just love how easy going these guys are!

We headed down to the beach right after sunset which is actually my favorite time to shoot at the beach.  You always get a good 10-15 minutes of great light after the sun sets and Saturday was no exception!

Thanks so much Jesse and Christina!  Can't wait for your wedding in October!  You guys are amazing! 

The Big Reveal!

Well, you've seen our posts about The Longest Day video that we were a part of a few months ago.  We've posted about the reality show with a great group of photographers who got together and created two videos.  Earlier, we had been told that the winning team would be given $1,000 for their charity and $500 would go to the second team's charity.  However, thanks to the generosity of the project's sponsors, $3,000 will now be going to the winning team's charity and $2,000 to the second  team's charity.  Amazing!!

So finally, after many episodes (that you can catch up on here!) the finale is here!  The first few minutes are a recap of the episodes thus far, so you can get caught up, and then the two final videos are revealed!  After you watch the videos make sure to go vote for your favorite team!

Again, many thanks to Ron Dawson for putting this together - we are so grateful to have been included in such a fun experience with so many fantastic photographers!!

Videos!

Last year we had Ron Dawson of Cinematic Studios come with us for a few shoots in an attempt to try to capture on video just a little bit of who Katie and I are and what we try to do when we're interacting with our clients. 

You can check out the videos on our site.  In addition to the Intro video make sure to check out the "Behind the Lens" section as well to watch one whole wedding and hear the bride and groom's thoughts on the day. 

Many thanks to Ben and Megan as well as Becca and Tovi for letting us interview and film them.  You both are the perfect examples of the clients that we strive to attract.  Thanks!
