California courthouse wedding

Kellie and Adriana had the most perfectly intimate California courthouse wedding in Santa Barbara in early fall. Escaping to Belmond El Encanto for a quiet weekend, the two brides headed to the Santa Barbara Courthouse for their civil ceremony, following by a private reading of their personal vows to each other.

After the Courthouse, we headed to the beach for some portraits before Adriana and Kellie headed back to El Encanto for dinner reservations. It was a simple afternoon, but it truly couldn’t have been more delightful to spend a few hours with these two. We laughed, we cried, we donned masks and climbed rocks and got sand in our shoes. And then we laughed some more.

Thank you, K + A, for inviting me to be part of this incredible day with you.
