We began our magical wedding day at the Bacara Resort and Spa for Getting Ready and First Look photos. We then made our way to the Santa Barbara Courthouse for more photos and the ceremony, and celebrated Austin + Stephanie’s union at the Arts & Letters Cafe in Santa Barbara. From my meeting and Venice engagement session with Stephanie + Austin, I knew it was going to be a fun and classy event, with all the little details delivered to perfection.
Below is a slideshow from their special day. To view the photos at your own pace, scroll below!
The ladies had a lot of fun getting ready and getting the perfect bow tied 😉

The Santa Barbara Courthouse is the perfect place for bride & groom wedding photos.

Officially Mr. & Mrs.!
Dipping was definitely a personal added touch that was very Stephanie + Austin!
Beautiful bride…
Handsome groom…
On our way to Arts & Letters Cafe, we stopped to get a nice urban-feel photo of our bride and groom.
Lots of beautiful details, including the centerpieces, creative sign-in art, and champagne glasses, among other things!
First Dance as husband and wife.
Bouquet toss! The ladies accidentally undid the tie holding the flowers together while attempting to catch the bouquet, so they all ended up with a part of the bouquet!

Congratulations Stephanie + Austin! You two are spunky, fun and truly care about others–I know you’re going to live happily ever after!
