Santa Barbara Courthouse & Beachside Wedding

Darlene and Chris are one of those goofy & fun couples that draw you in and make you feel like you’ve been best friends forever. I am completely in love with these two (can I be your third wheel forever, plz?!). Their joy is contagious and their wedding showed off all the lovely moments between their closest friends & family, and of course, them!!!

After getting ready in local beach houses, we took the famous Santa Barbara TROLLY to the Courthouse for photos! It was such a blast! The trolly was something I would’ve never thought of, but it’s so iconic and SUCH a good idea for wedding transportation!

Their overcast beachside ceremony was stunning, especially when a pod of dolphins swam by right before she walked down the aisle!

The ceremony & speeches were tear-jerkers, and the food was nexttttt levelllll divine! I felt like a queen eating all the pastas, side dishes, and perfectly cut meat. You can never go wrong with comfort food buffet-meets-classy gourmet!

When I stepped into their reception area, I audibly gasped. It was beyond stunning!!! I mean c’mon. Twinkle lights, lush florals, a fairytale garden, boho vibes… it couldn’t be any better than that. Beyond how gorgeous the space was, the faces that filled the seats and created a beautiful atmosphere was the best part. After emotional speeches and a delicious dinner, the whole crowd burst out in a wild dance party!
