Santa Barbara Courthouse Elopement | Katelyn + Aaron

Katelyn and Aaron’s elopement at the Santa Barbara Courthouse was an intimate and beautiful celebration of their love. They exchanged vows in the Mural Room, surrounded by historic artwork and the quiet elegance of the courthouse. As their witness, I had the privilege of capturing their heartfelt ceremony and the special moments that followed. Afterward, we explored the courthouse grounds, taking photos in its picturesque spots that perfectly reflected the couple’s love.

Adding a touch of vintage flair to their day, Katelyn and Aaron rented a classic Mustang convertible, which became a fun prop for more photos. After the courthouse we drove to Butterfly Beach, where they enjoyed a private cake-cutting moment by the car, the ocean providing a serene and beautiful setting. Their elopement was a perfect blend of personal touches and classic Santa Barbara charm, making it a day they’ll always remember. Photos are a mix of digital + film.
