Santa Barbara Courthouse Wedding

 

Once again, I was fortunate to be chosen by a Awesome Local Santa Barbara Couple that had an Incredible Santa Barbara Wedding on a GORGEOUS DAY in early March. This is why we have to kick ourselves out here every now & again. Many times during the winter & early spring we are treated to SUMMER WEATHER when the rest of the country is dealing with snow. I know, cuz I grew up in the Midwest;)

I love this shot & I love shooting at the Santa Barbara Courthouse! For those that don’t know, it is really a working courthouse that has weddings. The place features gorgeous, historic Spanish architecture from the early days of Santa Barbara.

The opportunities for shooting there are spectacular. Everywhere you look is a frame, staircase or doorway that’s picture perfect for framing Brides. Just add a spectacular photographer, cough…ME, & you’re in there!!!

In between the Ceremony & Reception we swung by the beach for a picture perfect Santa Barbara Sunset. Gotta love it, this is why the place gets the nickname of “American Riviera”. It has a similar climate to that of the French and Italian Rivieras.

Once again I was fortunate enough to shoot ANOTHER AWESOME SANTA BARBARA wedding at the 1221 La Vista Road House over looking ALL of Santa Barbara, the Mountains, the Santa Barbara Channel & on & on & on. The beauty of the place was only matched by the friends & family of the AWESOME couple getting married. The house has a fancy name like “Chateau Something or Other” and is a rental available through Lynx Properties. Both clients whose weddings I shot there were extremely happy with the house, & of course, extremely happy with me;)

The spectacular thing about this place are the endless opportunities to create great images. You can shoot gorgeous, classy images. You can shoot fun, silly images. You can shoot early, late. Frankly, I could easily shoot for hours on end there. I am shooting another wedding there in early 2011, stay tuned for pics on that one!

The in-ground trampoline is a blast for kids & adults. Of course the kids end up having to wait for the adults to get off the thing & stop acting like kids;)
