Alaine & Ross

I've always been so hesitant to give wedding photography a shot. Don't have the right camera, the right tools, not my style, blah blah blah. Underneath it all, the majority of these excuses derived from laziness and fear. Laziness to get my butt up to get the tools I needed, and fear of taking horrible photos that would ruin a couple's most memorable day. This year, the perfect couple convinced me to take a chance and photograph their wedding! I hesitated at first, but then realized it was the perfect opportunity! The wedding was small, sweet, and intimate. It was held at the beautiful Santa Barbara Courthouse followed by a reception at the Santa Barbara Zoo! It was perfectly simple - with no bridal party or DJ. The bride's brother officiated the wedding and even played music through a playlist. There were so many personal touches that made it so charming and effortless.
