Santa Barbara Courthouse Elopement | Samantha+Jack

“We adore each other, respect each other, and we always have fun! Most importantly, we have been through so much, and we know we can always count on working together as a team to solve problems TOGETHER.”

Elopements are the perfect way for two people to celebrate their union in an intimate and stress-free way (as stress-free as any wedding-day can be!). Samantha and Jack’s Santa Barbara Courthouse elopement was just that–carefree and full of love. We started off at the Courthouse, and then continued to the Biltmore for even more picturesque locations, including Butterfly Beach.

From Samantha, “Since we plan to have two more celebrations later in the year with families and friends in Europe and in Asia, we wanted to first have a private weekend where the two of us could focus on each other and celebrate the union in a beautiful and relaxing setting without being overwhelmed or stressed.”The bride and groom taking photos during their Courthouse elopement.The newlyweds after their Santa Barbara Courthouse Elopement.The newlyweds after their Santa Barbara Courthouse Elopement.The newlyweds after their Santa Barbara Courthouse Elopement.The newlyweds after their Santa Barbara Courthouse Elopement.When I asked why the duo chose the Courthouse and the Four Seasons for their special day, Samantha replied, “We loved the timeless architecture of the Courthouse and the beautiful and colorful scenery at the Four Seasons Biltmore.”The couple taking photos at the Four Seasons Santa Barbara gardens.The couple taking photos at the Four Seasons Santa Barbara gardens.The newlyweds kissing at the Biltmore.The newlyweds kissing at the Biltmore.The newlyweds kissing at the Biltmore.The bride and groom hugging during the wedding photos at their Biltmore wedding.

What are the two most looking forward to as a married couple?

“First and foremost, we both look forward to creating a big family with kids, a dog, and of course, our favorite and ever-so-cute orange tabby named Simba. We also look forward to doing lots of traveling, not only to see our families abroad but also to immerse our kids in different cultures around the world and to give back.”Bride and groom wedding photos at Butterfly Beach, Montecito.Here’s to celebrating love, in every way, big and small! Congratulations, Jack & Samantha!
