Elwood Bluffs in Goleta provided the perfect backdrop for Keara and Jarred’s unforgettable Santa Barbara engagement session. With the golden hues of fall painting the landscape, this gorgeous couple brought energy, laughter, and a bit of playful goofiness to their shoot. Their chemistry was undeniable, and I couldn’t be more obsessed with how their love shone through in every photo.

From College Friends to Forever

Keara and Jarred’s love story is as charming as they are. They met through mutual college friends, and their connection quickly grew into something special. Jarred, a Santa Barbara local, and Keara, a Midwest native, fell in love over a shared cup of coffee and a scenic drive along the Malibu coast. After getting engaged, Keara moved to Santa Barbara, where they’ve built a life filled with surfing, hiking, biking, and spending time with friends and family.

Capturing Joy and Authenticity

This session was an absolute joy to photograph. Keara and Jarred’s playful energy and willingness to be themselves made every moment feel genuine and full of life. Whether they were exploring the windswept bluffs or sharing a quiet laugh, their love story unfolded effortlessly in front of the camera.
