Chic Lotusland Wedding in Santa Barbara, California

wedding

Jun 27

Adelita and Caleb’s chic Lotusland wedding was such a cool blend of classic and unique. When it came to their wedding photography, they wanted a vibe that would complement their elegant-with-a-twist aesthetic. They asked me to take it on because they wanted someone with an out of the box eye, and I had a lot of fun doing it.

Classic & Creative Lotusland Wedding

For their ceremony, this couple wanted an outdoor celebration with a classic look – so their Lotusland wedding was in the perfect place. Friends and family gathered outside in these beautiful gardens, and the floral work here really elevated it into something special. Two columns of white blooms framed them as they shared their vows. They even managed to give their dog some floral accessories.

Before moving on to the next part of the celebrations, I snuck away with Caleb and Adelita for some couple’s portraits. One of the great things about a Lotusland wedding is that the gardens have a lot of different sections and styles. Adelita made a comment about how their wedding coordinator was showing them spots photographers like to go to, but she thought she would like my ideas better because of how I see things differently, and lo and behold… I did end up posing them in different spots.

Time for the Party

After the Lotusland wedding ceremony, everyone headed to Rosewood Miramar for the reception. This is where we got my favorite shots of the day – when I pulled Adelita and Caleb back out towards the pool, and let them do their thing. They ended up jumping in, and wandering back into their party with towels wrapped around their waists. Bliss.
