Richie & Alan’s Santa Barbara Wedding Adventure

An Intimate Affair at the Santa Barbara Courthouse

Richie and Alan’s wedding day was the perfect blend of elegance, intimacy, and heartfelt celebration. Set in the breathtaking Santa Barbara Courthouse Mural Room, every part of the day felt meaningful, intentional, and full of love.

One of the sweetest moments of the day was how Richie and Alan chose to get ready together—no nerves, just calm joy and quiet laughter as they helped each other with the final touches. From there, we wandered the stunning courthouse grounds, taking portraits in the dreamy California light. The architecture, the greenery, and the vibrant mural room were the perfect backdrop for their love.

As the sun peeked through the historic windows, their closest family and friends arrived to witness a ceremony that was as beautiful as it was emotional. With heartfelt vows, a few happy tears, and lots of smiles, Richie and Alan officially tied the knot in one of Santa Barbara’s most iconic venues.

After the ceremony, they kicked off their celebration in the most unique way: a private cocktail hour on a boat! With glasses of champagne in hand, guests cruised along the coast, enjoying the ocean breeze, delicious appetizers, and joyful toasts as the newlyweds soaked it all in.

The evening wrapped up at Loquita, a stunning Spanish restaurant just a short walk away. The reception was relaxed, intimate, and full of warmth—like one big family dinner. With mouthwatering tapas, heartfelt speeches, and a cozy atmosphere, it was the perfect ending to a perfect day.

Richie and Alan’s love is the kind that feels effortless and grounded, and it was such an honor to document their story. From the historic courthouse to the sparkling sea to the last toast at Loquita—this day was pure magic.
