Santa Barbara wedding photographer | Buellton California

Wish they all could be california girls | Carl & Sutton

It’s not often I get to venture outside the Tampa wedding photography world, though I sure would welcome any opportunity. I AM cruising to Jamaica in October to photograph a wedding there! Pretty excited about that! I photographed a wedding for some friends of mine ( Mike & Mary – View it here! ) about a year before Carl and Sutton’s. Carl happens to be Mary’s brother and Sutton happened to love my pictures. She liked my pictures enough to fly me all the way to Santa Barbara, California! I can now proudly say “I am a Santa Barbara, California Wedding Photographer! I do coast to coast wedding photography! It was actually Buellton, California, right near Solvang and Santa Barbara. I arrived on a Thursday and was able to hang out and see the beautiful area for a few days before the wedding. I would be happy to spend the rest of my life doing wedding photography in Buellton and the surrounding area! The wineries are beautiful, views are amazing and I really LOVE the area! We visited The Bridalwood and Firestone wineries and a few others i can’t remember the names to. Both Bridalwood and Firestone winery are beautiful places for weddings and i hope to have one there soon! For anyone from the area reading this and wanting some really cool, fun wedding photography with a crazy fun photographer – Give me a call! I would LOVE to! Back yard weddings are becoming more popular and Sutton was one of the first to create this new trend. Sutton also had the awesome help of friends and family to create center pieces for the tables and all the decorations for the day. As I arrived I saw one of the ladies putting the finishing touches on her bouquet! Sutton’s parents worked extremely hard to have the entire property looking awesome for the day. It was nice to see everyone taking pride in what they were doing to bring together this amazing day for Carl and Sutton. Their families were amazingly wonderful to be a part of for the week. With no ceremony and reception rental cost Carl & Sutton were able to splurge a little on some photography which is how I got there! Back yard weddings are intimate and beautiful and I would suggest them to everyone! They save you money and allow you to hire a photographer that’s worth hiring to capture your day! You spend so much time preparing all the little details for the wedding but what’s the point if you don’t have it captured in a picture to remember and show your family and friends for years to come. Always hire the best and most fun photographer you can, and you will be sure to get great wedding pictures you will always love! Here are a few pictures from Carl & Sutton’s Santa Barbara Back Yard Wedding! To view the full day go to the on line gallery here or at the bottom of the page!
