ALLISON & JESSE’S WEDDING AT OUR LADY OF MOUNT CARMEL CHURCH AND THE CABRILLO PAVILION

I worked with Allison and Jesse for over a year helping them with their destination wedding in Santa Barbara. The two were married at the beautiful Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in Montecito, CA which has to be one of the most gorgeous churches here on the Central Coast. The Catholic church is the ideal wedding venue for those who want a more traditional or religious ceremony. This church is a photographers dream! The details are simply stunning inside and out as you can see from these photos from Mariela Campbell Photography.

The couple chose the popular Cabrillo Pavilion as their reception venue which is known for its breathtaking panoramic ocean views. This venue is ideal for large weddings as it can accommodate up to 215 guests. This beautiful venue which was recently rennovated is an ideal choice for for couples who want the party to continue late into the night as they are one of the few venues in the area that will allow you to stay past 10pm. Located just steps from the ocean, this venue is perfect for beach ceremonies as well as getting those beautiful golden hour beach photos as the sun starts to set over the Santa Barbara waterfront.

Allison and Jesse chose a neutral color palette which that included a mix of white, green and blush pink tones for their floral design. Other fun elements they included were a photo booth, signature cocktails, custom sunglasses for each of their guests, and an audio guest book provided by After the Tone where guests left personal recorded mesages. During the reception guests enjoyed an assortment of desserts and danced late into the night with music provided by Cali West DJs.

This wedding had everything but mostly it was the love and joy seen and felt by all that really made this day so special for our bride and groom.
