Santa Barbara Courthouse Wedding

We don’t call Santa Barbara the Riviera of the United States for nothing!

With her stunning beaches, unique mountains, and absolutely stunning architecture wherever you turn, this place has quickly become one of my favorite spots in California. I’ve always been a cold-and-foggy-NorCal-beach gal myself, but there is some sort of magic in the air here that may be convincing me otherwise.

The Santa Barbara Courthouse has to be one of the coolest places to elope. The building was completed in 1929 and features some of the most beautiful hand painted tiles, a mural room, and an observation deck that looks out over the breathtaking city.
