Tonya & Matt - malibu, ca

… what a down right sweet bride and groom! we enjoy weddings so much because of couples like this.you could not help but to feel the love that surrounded them on their wedding day. the air was calm and peaceful. we didn’t witness any of the pre-wedding jitters… in fact it was with such anticipation… the attitude was more like "let’s do this!" tonya and matt would much rather hang out with us than be photographed. tonya is such a caring and compassionate person that she even went out of her way to “table touch” us during the dinner break to make sure we were okay and fed, to thank us for being a special part of their wedding day. she did that with all of her vendors. hugs, gratitude and gratefulness were bestowed on to us all. what more can you ask for? did we mention the home baked cookies? don't get us started! it is the unspoken trust between client... friend... photographer... artist that is given to you in those moments… even the verbal “i trust you” that allows us the creative freedom to do what we do. -karen






























what a gift. tonya and matt are treasured, viva salute’.
