There are so many amazing wedding venues in Santa Barbara. After 15+ years of photographing weddings, I’ve photographed at most of the wedding venues in and around Santa Barbara. I’ve listed a few of Santa Barbara’s many beautiful wedding locations below as well as a few popular wedding venues outside of Santa Barbara.

Santa Barbara is a top destination wedding location. The romantic elegance of the city wrapped by the mountains and pressed against the California coast makes our little city the perfect wedding weekend getaway for your family and friends. Our historic Spanish architecture blended with Moorish elements comes together against the palm trees to create a beautiful canvas to create an incredible wedding experience.
