Lee Wedding

Christine and Bernard got married on March 21, 2015 at the beautifully unique El Capitan Canyon Resort in Goleta, CA. They got engaged here on New Year's Eve and spent several months looking for the perfect venue. When they heard that El Capitan Canyon had a last minute cancelation, they decided to go for it and that's when I received the phone call to plan their wedding in four short weeks! I have never planned a wedding this quickly, but I couldn't be more happy with the way everything and everyone came together to pull off this gorgeous wedding for this lovely couple!

The El Capitan Canyon Resort served as the perfect location to host all 140 of their guests. The ceremony took place up on the Safari Bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The Organic String Quartet played as guests enjoyed the view before the ceremony. TOASTsb did an incredible job on creating natural wild florals to fit the elegant rustic vibe of the venue. Guests dined at wood picnic tables adorned with natural linen runners, wild flower blooms in mason jars, and votives on wooden rounds while Society Jazz rocked the night away with their sweet tunes. After dinner, guests enjoyed an array of delicious cupcakes and chocolate covered strawberries from Crushcakes. As night fell, the bonfire roared and guests gathered around for a campfire sing-along and s'mores. And last but not least, my favorite photographer and good friend Jonathan of Bluephoto Wedding Photography was there to document the entire day with these gorgeous photos and video! 

Congrats Christine and Bernard... it was such a pleasure working with the two of you, even though it was only for a couple of weeks! Wishing you guys all the best as you start your new lives as husband and wife!

Koskie Wedding

Shauna and Chris were looking for a unique outdoor venue for their romantic-rustic-chic wedding on October 29, 2011. The El Capitan Canyon Resort in Santa Barbara served as the perfect backdrop to celebrate their wedding weekend with their closest friends and family. The ceremony took place at the Safari Cabin bluff with gorgeous canyon and ocean views. Shauna's stepdad performed the ceremony under a custom altar created out of driftwood collected by Chris and his brother from one of their favorite surf spots. The bridal party and family were adorned with beautifully unique floral creations by TOASTsb. The evening continued at the base of the canyon in the Marketplace. The natural tree trunk picnic tables were accented with burlap runners made by the groom's mother, eclectic china and silverware, mason drinking jars, vintage books, wildflower mason jar centerpieces, white pumpkins, and framed book page table numbers created by the bride. Shauna & Chris' custom surfboard sign-in was a hit as was the dessert table featuring mini cupcakes by Crushcakes, candy bar, and s'mores station. This gorgeous wedding was captured by one of my favorite photographers, Jonathan of Bluephoto Wedding Photography. To see more wedding photos be sure to check out his blogpost of Shauna and Chris' wedding. A special thanks to the incredible staff at El Capitan Canyon Resort, all the vendors for making this wedding so beautiful and seamless, and to my amazing husband who rocked it as my assistant! Congratulations Shauna & Chris, we had such a great time working with the two of you!  We wish you all the best as you continue your journey as husband and wife...in your NEW home!
