Santa Barbara Courthouse Elopement

Alizah and Nick booked their Santa Barbara Courthouse Elopement only one day before the celebration. Their original photographer was no longer available, and a last-minute opening made it possible for me to step in.

Pandemic restrictions meant I could not photograph the ceremony itself. However, we used the courthouse greenery for their first look and family portraits.

We finished at Hendrys Beach, where sunset added a completely different atmosphere. Together, the courthouse and coast gave their short-notice day a full visual arc.
