Kasey and Chase chose the to celebrate their wedding day and weekend on the American Rivera. On the hilltop, above historic Santa Barbara Mission, sits the iconic hideaway, offering the best views of the Pacific Ocean.
I was thrilled when Kasey called and booked our studio last year. I’ve wanted to explore this gem of a property for some time, especially after it’s renovations a few years ago. The feeling I got from it was a bit of Rhode Island, meets the west coast, with palms from Hawaii and succulents representing the Mojave. Every turn, had a fun and beautiful backdrop for us to incorporate.
Not to be missed was the incredible – STUNNING – floral “arch” – which was actually a circle, it was seriously amazing. The talented florist and coordinators moved it post ceremony, so we could continue to incorporate it into family photos and the bride and groom portraits.
Kasey and Chase are both in the finance industry, and based on the perfection of their wedding day, I can only imagine a very calculated (haha) and beautiful life together! Congratulations, it was such an honor to be a witness in the union of your love!
