Long-time love celebrated in the heart of Santa Barbara.


Courthouse Ceremony with Clock Tower Views


Jennica and Derek, longtime sweethearts, chose the Santa Barbara Courthouse for their heartfelt vows overlooking the Sunken Gardens. We captured portraits throughout the property, including the iconic Clock Tower, followed by a festive toast with margaritas nearby. Their day felt like a joyful exhale—easy, meaningful, and centered on their deep connection. For couples who want a laid-back, beautiful Santa Barbara elopement with a mix of history and celebration, this one’s for you.
