Kayla & Kurt's Sun-Soaked Santa Barbara Wedding
-
-
Two actors from Southern California meet at an audition in New York City and fall in love. If that's not destiny and the plot line of an amazing romcom, I don't know what is.
Kayla & Kurt had a beautiful Santa Barbara wedding full of vivid pinks, sunshine, and all the happy tears. Prior to their first look at Elings Park, we were running behind schedule so I texted Kurt to let him know. And - line of the whole day - he responded saying, "Waited my whole life for Kayla, I can wait a bit longer." I promise I'm not making this up, it's just that good, and I still have the text on my phone because I'm a sucker for romance like that.
The two married on the grounds of a family friend's private estate and brought their guests over to Villa & Vine to continue the celebrations (but not before we snuck over to the iconic Santa Barbara courthouse & Arlington Theater for a few post-ceremony portraits)! Kayla & Kurt swayed smoothly from first dance straight into their dance party and danced with their guests all night long.
Thank you two for allowing me to be a part of your incredible day - your joy & kindness were the hallmarks of this wedding and it was an absolute privilege to witness. Hope to see you in NYC soon! -
