Intimate, Heartfelt Elopements in Santa Barbara

From the golden light along Butterfly Beach to the historic arches of the Santa Barbara Courthouse, I capture the unscripted beauty of your elopement day so you can relive it for years to come.

Why Santa Barbara is the Perfect Place to Elope

Santa Barbara is where coastal elegance meets timeless romance. With year-round sunshine, ocean breezes, and backdrops ranging from Spanish-style architecture to hidden gardens, it’s the ideal setting for an intimate “I do.”

Some of my favorite elopement spots:

  • Santa Barbara Courthouse

  • Butterfly Beach

  • Belmond El Encanto

  • The Ritz-Carlton Bacara

  • Private estates and vineyards in the Santa Ynez Valley

My Approach to Elopement Content Creation

A bride and groom share an intimate moment outdoors during their wedding, with the bride wearing a white dress and veil, and the groom in a black tuxedo with a boutonniere.

Your elopement is about connection, not production. I specialize in capturing behind-the-scenes moments and the natural flow of your day without staging or interrupting. From quiet glances to bursts of laughter, I create a visual story that reflects the real you.

What to expect:

  • Warm, candid coverage that feels effortless

  • Quick turnaround (often within 24–48 hours)

  • Edited highlight reels and all raw footage included
