A SANTA BARBARA COURTHOUSE PROPOSAL - MATT + HEATHER

As a photographer, capturing Matt and Heather's surprise wedding proposal at the Santa Barbara Courthouse was an unforgettable experience. Matt reached out to us wanting the special moments of him getting down on one knee and proposing to Heather captured to have forever. There’s nothing more exciting to us - such an incredible honor!

They were traveling down from the Bay Area on a little road trip along the California coast. The Santa Barbara Courthouse was the perfect pitstop before heading further south. Under the tower's grand arches, Matt knelt down and pulled out the engagement ring. I captured every emotion etched across their faces - Matt's nervous excitement and Heather's dawning realization of what was happening. And of course, Heather said yes!

We celebrated their engagement by exploring the courthouse, hitting all the scenic spots. From the fountains and gardens to the arches, long hallways and spiral staircase. There’s nothing like those freshly engaged feels, their excitement and love for each other was so evident. It made photographing them together that much more special.  

The Santa Barbara Courthouse, with its picturesque Spanish architecture and lush gardens, set the perfect stage for this romantic moment. With its timeless beauty, this place became an integral part of their story. The photographs I took blended the elegance of the courthouse with their genuine emotions, creating cherished memories for Matt and Heather. It was an honor to witness and document their intimate, surprise proposal at this stunning location, forever preserving their love story. Congratulations to Matt and Heather! 

“Highly recommend these two lovely ladies! My fiancé planned a (surprise) photoshoot with them in Santa Barbara to capture the moment he popped the big question, and of course, they captured it perfectly. They were so great to work with and provided beautiful photos that we will cherish forever.” - Heather

“These ladies did an awesome job! They captured my proposal perfectly and discreetly, and the hour of photos afterwards came out beautifully. They were great at framing each scene and getting the best out of our angles, poses, lighting, etc. The vibe of the finished photos is the best and not washed out like some other photographers I’ve seen. I highly recommend using them for any special event you want to capture!” - Matt
