Classic Belmond El Encanto Wedding in Santa Barbara, California

Ahhhh you guys. I’m not sure I’ll ever get used to the California views!! Tricia and Michael had a classic wedding atop Santa Barbara at the Belmond El Encanto. Delightfully refined and not afraid to laugh.

I couldn’t be more blessed with all the trust between myself, Tricia, and Michael (and all of my couples) because it truly takes all parties to create stunning photos.

From Tricia: “Take my advice and HIRE JUSTIN! I just had my wedding this past weekend in Santa Barbara and the first thing I wanted to do is share my experience with this amazing, wonderful, kind, talented gem of a human being. Justin is not only prompt and professional but he is the kind of person you want to be around on your special day. My now-husband and I have never got our pictures taken individually let alone together and we felt so comfortable in front of Justin's camera. Justin's ability to capture warmth, emotion and life is what drew me in. Justin's perfect execution of my seamlessly perfect day is why I am writing this review. My wish is for every couple to have as wonderful of an experience as I did with my photographer and I guarantee that will happen for all you readers out there if you simply hire Justin. Justin- I am such a fan. I love your talent and the way you captured our perfect moments. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. My family & friends still rave about how amazing you are. I wish you the very best.“ (Read this review on The Knot)
