Santa Barbara California Estate Photography Shoot with Mike Larson

Stories Documented, Wedding  //  7th March 2013

Last week while we were out in Santa Barbara for the Showit United conference, I went to a photography workshop with Mike Larson.  The weather has been particularly cold and gloomy lately back in Baltimore, so it was great to get outside and shoot a little bit somewhere warm and sunny.  Plus the workshop was at an AMAZING private estate just before sunset.  Suzy and Lukas VanDyke, another (SUPER FUN) photography couple we had the pleasure of meeting earlier this year in LA, were the most adorable couple and the perfect models.  Below are a few of my favorite photos from the workshop. Enjoy!

This was the first workshop given by Mike Larson that either of us had attended.  Mike specializes in vineyard and private estate photography.  His approach to a wedding is slightly different than ours, so it was really good to get a different perspective and to hear how he interacts with his couples while photographing them. Thanks for sharing so openly with everyone, Mike!

Tomorrow we will share a more in depth wrap up of our trip to Santa Barbara and the United 2013 Conference. Have an AMAZING Thursday!
