Congratulations Amanda & Chris!

Enjoy the slideshow!

Santa Barbara Wedding | Amanda & Chris


Santa Barbara is such a great place for a destination wedding! Amanda & Chris had such a fabulous event at the Canary Hotel.  Got some surf & sun pics, followed up by a romantic rooftop ceremony.  They rocked the night away to a great band that they flew in from Alabama. That was awesome!



Canary Hotel Wedding | Amanda & Jeremy

I love the Canary Hotel, it’s absolutely gorgeous & in the heart of Santa Barbara. It’s no wonder so many couples chose to have their destination wedding on the rooftop of the Canary. Amanda & Jeremy had a fabulous Santa Barbara wedding!  Such a fun group! Congrats!!!









Jessica & Rolando Santa Barbara Engagement

Can’t wait to photograph these two at the beach again!  Jessica & Rolando will be tying the knot next month at the Sunset beach resturant in Malibu!  Can’t wait!

Engagement Session | Florence + James

Florence and James are adorable! We could spot them a mile away in the parking lot because they brought a huge, amazing bundle of red heart balloons with them!! They chose 3 fun locations; Santa Barbara Botanical Gardens, SB Courthouse, and Butterfly beach. The day was overcast but as soon as we started shooting at the botanical gardens the sun came out! We had an amazing session and just as we were taking our last few shots at Butterfly beach it starting pouring rain! It was actually pretty amazing to be on a beautiful beach at sunset while it rained :)

One More Time | Amy + Steve

We met Amy and Steve on the amazing Canary rooftop for a fun, carefree afternoon. What’s better than lounging poolside on a rooftop?! …Maybe photographing a gorgeous couple who is madly in love :) We had so much fun and wish Amy and Steve a wonderful life together filled with sports, pasta, and many future family portrait sessions (Steve is especially excited about this one)!! Loved working with both of you, good luck with finals!

Canary Hotel Reception | Amy + Steve

Let me start off by saying how fabulous Amy’s diamond is! Just like her reception! The rooftop at the Canary Hotel in Santa Barbara was perfect for their celebration :) Being at their reception I couldn’t help but smile, what a great group of people!

Doesn’t it look like the world disappears around them when they are looking at each other? Their first dance was everything it should be… and now every time they hear their song play they will think of this sweet moment.

First Dance Canary hotel reception

The tent made their reception cozy and romantic… I hope everyone got a chance to look up and watch the rain hit the clear top with the intense blue sky blanketed around us :)

Canary Hotel Reception Rain Tent

Maybe it was being in beautiful Santa Barbara. Maybe it was the magic of being on a rooftop while it rains. Maybe it was just the joy of being newlyweds. Whatever the reason, these two fell more in love with each other in this instant.

Wedding Reception Santa Barbara Canary Hotel Rooftop

There are no words to describe how hilarious this karaoke group was. The guys sang to Amy and the girls sang to Steve and it was classic. Pure comedy.

Another affectionate candid moment, I think it’s so romantic that he kisses her on the forehead.

This photograph captures the energy of their reception perfectly!

Santa Barbara Court House Wedding | Amy + Steve

There is something to be said about two people who are so in love that you can tell just by watching them look at each other! Amy and Steve are that couple, so very in love! They had an amazing wedding in beautiful Santa Barbara. It did rain but their trendy pink and white umbrellas kept the girls dry (the guys had oversized black umbrellas too, very sharp!). There is an old saying that rain on your wedding day means you will have a strong marriage since a wet knot is harder to untie :)

Letter from groom to bride + Tiffany necklace

Love, love, love the photo of Amy’s champagne heals and the Tiffany necklace that Steve gave her. I heard her asking him in amazement how he managed to get the necklace to her before they got married, it was clear she was very impressed!! Good job Steve :)

The groomsmen stopped at O’Malley’s on State Street for a pre-wedding drink…

Bride Portraits in Santa Barbara
Amy and her bridesmaids were so giggly walking down State Street in Santa Barbara… what great friends, I bet they have so much fun together! We found these amazing stairs at Paseo Nuevo right behind Nordstrom!

Bridesmaids walking through Santa Barbara

We loved the stairs so much so what better place to do Amy and Steve’s  first glance?! Amy waited at the top of the stairs for Steve and when she saw him coming she was SO excited!! The look on Steve’s face when he turned around and saw his bride was great to watch, such a sweet moment for the two of them!

Their wedding ceremony at the Santa Barbara Court House… love this venue! Her beautiful wedding dress from J Crew was perfect for her modern ceremony.

Getting Married in Santa Barbara

You may think we asked them to dance for photos but they did this all on their own. Just having a quite moment with each other right after the ceremony… officially husband and wife :)

The way they look at each other with so much love, marriage is going to be good to them! The photo of them kissing under the archway is soooo romantic.

Those pink and white umbrellas just made my day, so elegant. And such a fun bridal party!

Bridal Party with umbrellas

These are some of my favorite photos from the Court House. Those amazing lights and the wrought iron fence really add to the passion in these photographs.
