Elena chose the most beautiful place to get ready for her big day.. the Bacara Resort and Spa in Santa Barbara.  What a beautiful backdrop for such a beautiful girl.   I remember Jill and I oohing and awing over how amazing Elena looked in her perfect wedding gown.  It looked like a scene from a fairy tale.  

And that’s what was soon to come… Elena marrying the man of her dreams, Matt.  They are such a darling couple, so lets just refer to them as Mr. and Mrs. Darling from here on out. 

Mr. and Mrs. Darling were wed amongst the vast Santa Barbara sky and an amazing view of the Pacific Ocean.  Who knew Santa Barbara had such big beautiful open spaces, like Elings Park?  Friends and family gathered in a quaint garden setting for an evening of lawn games, open flame smores and plenty of spirited dancing.

Mr. and Mrs. Darling won me over during their first dance… when they danced to one of my  favorite songs… You and I, by Ingrid Michaelson.  The moment was priceless, they swept the dance floor while all of their friends and family huddled around the dance floor not to miss a beat.

With Mr. and Mrs. Darling’s vision this amazing day was pulled off by a wonderful crew of people…

Omni Fresco Catering– Sweetest Crew and Amazing Food

Day of Coordinator- Tracey Bjerllard- Spot on, relaxed while doing outstanding job 

Wylie Weddings– Set amazing scene for a perfect day

AMS– Brought the sounds alive and were enjoyed by all

I was thrilled to have been able to meet two such amazing people.  I had a blast shooting their wedding and can’t wait to hear what amazing things the future has in store for them.

Matt and Elena, may you live way up there and your love always pay the bills.
