Elegant Intimate Santa Barbara Wedding

Elegant Intimate Santa Barbara Wedding Inspiration.

It was a stunning spring Santa Barbara day for this Elegant Intimate Santa Barbara Wedding. So peaceful, calm, and a perfect California seventy degrees. Looking back now, it feels like magic with the state of the world right now. Things might not look like this right now, however, Tyler Speier created an incredibly intimate, classic, yet whimsical shoot for us. Greens and whites were the base color palettes pulling in blue velvet tablecloths with touches of gold accents. Everything melted into the Santa Barbara Landscape and just fit the space incredibly.

Such a beautiful Intimate Santa Barbara Wedding Ceremony.

An intimate ceremony site was created with the most incredible floral archway nestled under giant trees. They seemed to be married themselves intertwined, creating the perfect backdrop for a ceremony. So many candles were lit around the ceremony space, to allow for a couple to say their vows lit by candlelight as the sun slowly dipped into the background.

Everything was set for a small and intimate Santa Barbara wedding with your friends a family. There were so many spots where our couple could nestle into a romantic spot, or their guests could hang out in the lounge setup. Our models were a real couple, Casie and Jimmy, and were just as joyful and in love on this day as they were on their real wedding day. Showing just how cozy and tender the environment truly felt.

I love how this wedding inspiration is both elegant and timeless. Small weddings like this might become the norm for the rest of 2020, but I don’t mind one bit if they look like this.
