Our brides, Emma and Ivy, chose such a fun, carefree, and modern wedding day design style and we could not be more obsessed with every detail. The cozy/perfect-weather morning was spent getting hair and makeup ready at El Encanto, overlooking the Santa Barbara coastline. Their hair and makeup visions were unique while both encompassing our signature natural, minimal, and effortless feel.

“Natural and glowy” was the hair and makeup vibe and that’s exactly what our Santa Barbara bride got!! Savannah, from our team, created a classic and minimalistic bridal look that enhanced her features and didn’t feel overdone. Their ceremony was at the Santa Barbara Courthouse, with reception at Villa and Vine. Ash Gabes Photo captured the couple and their whole day so beautifully!

After almost three years of wedding planning and covid reschedules, our bride Alison finally got to experience having wedding of her dreams! Alison and Connor chose the Santa Barbara Zoo as their wedding venue - so unique!!! All of the details were so thoughtfully executed and made the day personal to the couple and their guests.

We started the morning off with hair and makeup for the bride and her bridal party in their adorable Solvang hotel. Jamie didn’t want to look overdone or someone other than herself. We did very natural airbrush makeup and gorgeous effortless waves - such a timeless look! The ceremony setting was hillside at Alisal Ranch.

What are COVID weddings/COVID elopements looking like these days? Well, actually pretty romantic and magical, I’d say!!! Santa Barbara has the most beautiful City Hall, with gorgeous grounds for photos! An absolutely beautiful spot for elopements, especially in the midst of COVID and smaller micro-weddings!
