Carpinteria wedding at Bates Ranch House

This wedding day was steeped in so much sweet romance, it’s obvious that Katelyn and Sean totally and completely adore each other. Sean teared up when he first saw Katelyn during their first look before the ceremony, and later surprised her with a song he wrote for their first dance.

The couple’s emotional ceremony was set against the backdrop of the Santa Ynez Mountains, then guests moved to the front of the private ranch estate to enjoy sweeping ocean views for the alfresco dinner reception. DJ’s Catering served delicious California fare, guests crowded into the photo booth and onto the dance floor, and a variety of cupcake flavors by Sugar Lab Bake Shop satisfied everyone’s late-night sweet tooth.

These two are just adorable and awesome together. And their friends and family are WAY into dancing, so obviously their reception was a total blast. Enjoy a few favorites from their Carpinteria wedding day!
