Deb Greene
Hey, I’m Deborah but most people call me Deb 🙂
I actually started shooting weddings when I was in high school. From an early age, I found my passion capturing couples on one of the most special days of their life. There’s something about being with a couple, deeply in love, on their wedding day that’s so life-giving for me.
My American dad and Eastern European mom saw it best for my twin sister, older brother and I to grow up overseas in Central Asia. So, I learned to appreciate different cultures when I was quite young. At the age of ten we moved back to California, and since graduating from high school I’ve studied at the San Francisco Art Institute, traveled all over Europe and lived in East Africa, Tanzania. Though I wouldn’t say I’m fluent, I speak a descent amount of Slovak and Swahili.
Having the privilege of capturing portraits around the world, has expanded my thoughts, taught me to appreciate beauty everywhere, and grown me as a person in ways I’m forever thankful for. Now I’m in Santa Barbara, the place that feels most like home and am enjoying feeling settled. This season I can’t wait to capture weddings and make memories on the beachy shores and beautiful areas of the California coast!
