Biltmore Santa Barbara… what a gem you are.
So little back story that has nothing to do with this couple, but felt serendipitous for me with this wedding. WAY back when I first started photography professionally and was giving out photoshoots for free left and right, my mom and I drove all the way up to Santa Barbara for a maternity shoot. The beach they chose? The one right in front of the Four Seasons Biltmore hotel. I remember staring at this location with dream stars in my eyes, hoping one day I’d have the opportunity to photograph something even 10% as regal as this venue. WELL WELL WELL fast forward and here I was, snapping Chanel and Corey’s wedding and feeling elated. Holy crap you guys. I did it. I made it. I put it out into the universe, worked my butt off and serendipity brought me here.Â
Chanel and Corey’s aesthetic did not disappoint. I mean, I knew I’d be star struck since their engagement session was so fashion forward, but WOW. I was obsessed with every little detail. Simple, yet regal white bridesmaid gowns. Two wedding gowns, one for the “I do’s” and one to party in. A ceremony backed by palm trees and an oceanside celebration to follow. I’ll shut up now so you can PLEASE SCROLL and see the beauty.Â
