El and Josh’s elopement was a stunning celebration of love at the beautiful Santa Barbara Courthouse. The day began with a heartfelt first look, framed by the iconic arches of the courthouse—a perfect backdrop for their intimate moment. After capturing those magical glances, they headed inside to sign the necessary papers, embracing the significance of their union.


The ceremony, a quick yet meaningful five minutes, was filled with joy and love, followed by family formals that captured the essence of their support network. We then ventured around the courthouse for portraits, showcasing both the couple’s love and the stunning Spanish architecture.
