Oh my gosh, this Santa Barbara engagement session was absolutely unreal! From the golden California sun to the stunning coastal backdrop, every moment with Taylor and Rodney felt like something out of a dream. Their love, laughter, and effortless chemistry made this session so much fun—we were smiling the entire time!
I titled this blog engagement/elopement because, honestly, this could have been a full-on elopement! The location, their perfectly coordinated outfits, and the romantic atmosphere created the ideal setting for an intimate wedding. All we needed was a simple ceremony, a bouquet, and maybe a little cake, and it would have been the ultimate elopement inspiration. This session proves that sometimes, less is more—love, connection, and a breathtaking location are all you really need for magical photos.
As a destination wedding photographer, I travel about once a month, capturing love stories in stunning locations. One of the best parts of my job is meeting couples like Taylor and Rodney, who take advantage of my travel schedule to book their engagement session. They met me in Santa Barbara while I was there for another shoot, and it was the perfect opportunity to create something special without the added travel costs.
If you’re dreaming of an engagement session or an intimate elopement but don’t want to pay a full travel fee, reach out! I’d love to share where I’ll be next, and you can meet me at one of my upcoming destinations. This is a great way to have breathtaking photos in an incredible location without the extra expense.
