- Sofia HamannHead PhotographerI'm the Head Photographer at SB Blue Photography. I am deeply passionate about capturing memories through the medium of photography. After growing up in San Diego I moved to Santa Barbara for college and have lived there ever since. In my spare time I travel, hike, surf, and sew. I hope we can work together, I'd love to get to meet you!
- Blaze HamannPhotographer/ VideographerI’m a dreamer, activist, and artist. From a young age, the images in National Geographic magazines captivated my imagination and jump-started my lifelong passions for photography & videography. I grew up swimming in Southern Oregon’s Rogue River and backpacking in the Cascade Mountain Range. After high school, I attended Westmont College in Santa Barbara, where I earned a Bachelor’s in Business and Economics. After college, I worked with the Free Burma Rangers, a conflict relief nonprofit based in Southeast Asia. During that time, I developed skills in photojournalism, as well as portrait and event photography and videography. Now, as a freelancer I shoot elopements and weddings alongside my wife, Sofia.

Sofia was an absolute joy to work with and I cannot recommend her highly enough for wedding photography at the Santa Barbara Courthouse. She knew all of the best locations, made us...
feel completely at ease, and beautifully captured the elegant charm of the courthouse. She listened carefully to what we envisioned and executed it flawlessly.
At the time, I was five months pregnant and initially hesitant about sharing them, but they turned out so stunning that I had to. Sofia managed to create a perfect blend of artistic and traditional images, which I worried might be difficult to achieve given my baby bump. We are truly in love with the photographs and so grateful for her talent. Highly recommend her if you’re looking to make your day easy and special!
