Santa Barbara Sailboat Elopement | Audrey + Erin

I am SOOOOO excited to finally be sharing this amazing sailboat elopement which took place in Santa Barbara, CA! Audrey + Erin are the cutest couple! They were originally planning a big, traditional wedding back in Arizona where they are from... but the stress of planning a big wedding just wasn't feeling right. So they decided to do something that did feel right, something that felt like them. They decided to elope here in sunny Santa Barbara, on the water... on a SAIL BOAT to be specific! I mean, how unique and cool is that, right??!! And they chose me to photograph this special day! What an honor and an exciting adventure to be a part of!Audrey infused the day with her personal style and a fun, preppy nautical theme. Her gorgeous white dress was ruffly and light and fun. She topped it off with a coral sweater for a preppy-chic look that I loved-- and also kept her warm when the cool ocean air crept in! Erin was also dressed pretty debonaire as well, and I adored his happy yellow bow tie! There were only two guests at the wedding-- two close friends-- and guess what? One of those friend's also did double duty as the officiant! We set sail thanks to Santa Barbara Sailing Center, and while in the beautiful harbor these two said their I-Dos. Afterward champagne was popped and we took some gorgeous photos while sailing on the sea... all as the sun dipped into the pacific ocean. A most perfect day!Thanks Leah for 2nd shooting! And thanks to Audrey + Erin for trusting me to capture you sailboat wedding! It was fabulous! And now pics!!!! santa barbara wedding photographer
