Emily + Gilbert's Romantic El Paseo Restaurant Santa Barbara Summer Wedding

Back in July, we had the pleasure of driving up to Santa Barbara for Emily + Gilbert’s wedding. We met up with them at the historic Simpson House Inn, where they shared a super sweet first look. The way these two light up when they see each other is enough to melt the iciest heart, and their first look was no exception. Every time I see their first look photos, I can’t help smiling at the joy on their faces!

They held their ceremony at another historic Santa Barbara location: the El Paseo Restaurant. There was no need to go overboard with decor at this beautiful spot, and their centerpieces were simple, yet perfect (they included pineapples… yeah, you’ve got to see them). Their ceremony was a celebration of their love and their reception followed suit. The outpouring of love from them, and toward them was really moving. The entire day, from the first look to the bubble send off was truly what dreams are made of!

Emily and Gilbert, we love you guys and wish you the very best in your marriage!
