We had such an amazing day shooting with Makayla and Emerson during their Santa Barbara courthouse elopement, and I can’t wait to tell you all about it! From the vibes to the styling, this intimate celebration was an absolute dream! We were able to shoot all over SB, at The Santa Barbara Courthouse, The Arlington Theatre, and downtown on State St. These locations added so much character to their photoshoot. This elopement session is EXACTLY what we want to capture more of. So if you are planning a timeless elopement and want dreamy editorial style photos - we’re your girls!

A Simple Yet Breathtaking Elopement Day in Santa Barbara

Makayla was the epitome of timeless beauty for her elopement day. With her elegant yet simple dress, long veil, small calla lily bouquet, she was the picture perfect bride! Emerson rocked an all black suit, a vintage style bow-tie and a hat that stood out beautifully in the photos. We were able to capture the essence of Santa Barbara so beautifully in their elopement photos. The variety of each backdrop we chose made their photos so unique!

The Joy of Mikayla + Emerson’s love

What we loved most about Makayla and Emerson was their infectious joy and the genuine fun they had in front of the camera. Every photo was filled with happy moments, and you can literally see their personalities shining through! M + E quickly became fast friends with how infectious their personalities are. We all felt so comfortable being around one another! The connection we had was so powerful, and we’re already looking forward to capturing them again soon!
