In Love in Santa Barbara, California: Patricia & Philip

anniversaries

Oh friends!  Greetings from New Zealand! I cannot wait to share with you all my experiences in Australia and New Zealand.  But first, this couple.

Patricia & Philip are two of the kindest, most gentle souls one will ever meet.  These are what hearts of gold look like.  I am privileged to have had the chance to photograph them at one of their favorite spots in Santa Barbara, California.  What a romantic beach session it was!

Take a minute to feel the love these two share, and leave them some love, as well, in the comments box.

Philip and Patricia, thank you for sharing your story with me! I am so blessed to know you both.

With love,
René

Get to know me

With 20 years of experience, I bring a calm, steady presence to your most meaningful days. I specialize in documenting relationships over time—from weddings and anniversaries to babies and families—with a love for black-and-white imagery, honest moments, and photographs that belong in albums, not just on a feed. There are no forced poses or “pretend to” prompts here, only space for what’s real. I’m not just here for the highlight; I’m here for the history you’re creating.

And I can't wait to capture your story
