Serving Santa Barbara and beyond

Welcome to Missy L Photos

I’m based in Santa Barbara, CA and have traveled around the world photographing weddings, elopements and engagements

A young woman with curly blonde hair smiling, standing in front of a green leafy hedge.

My name is Missy. Welcome to my website - a gallery of the people I love, places I’ve been, and the small details I’ve captured. My absolute favorite way to spend my time is capturing love.

Life is fleeting and precious. Photos aren’t just pretty pictures. They are ways to capture the big, the small, and the in-between meaningful details of your life.

As a speech-language pathologist (i.e. excellent at communication), your day will be filled with good conversation, laughter, and a calm-easy demeanor. It would be my absolute privilege to capture the beautiful moments of your life.
