Emmanuel + Tania

Dreamy Santa Barbara Wedding

Emmanuel and Tania’s wedding was a breathtaking journey through some of California’s most stunning locations, blending timeless elegance with personal touches that made their day uniquely theirs.

Their day began at the gorgeous Drift Hotel in Santa Barbara, where the couple got ready surrounded by their closest friends and family. The modern yet cozy atmosphere set the perfect tone for what was to come. From there, they traveled to the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church in Montecito, a stunning and historic setting for their heartfelt ceremony. The church’s grand architecture and intimate charm created an unforgettable backdrop as they exchanged vows in front of their loved ones.

For portraits, they explored the serene beauty of Lotusland, where lush gardens and dreamy landscapes framed their love story in the most magical way. Then, it was off to Ojai for a breathtaking reception overlooking the rolling hills—a setting that felt like pure romance.

Every detail of their reception was thoughtfully curated: sleek black decor, a bold “’Til Death” sign, and elegant Vogue-inspired candles added a modern yet classic touch. But beyond the aesthetics, their wedding was deeply personal. A true celebration of love and family, it was made even more special by Emmanuel’s father cooking their meal—a heartfelt nod to their family restaurant and heritage.

The night was filled with laughter, joy, and a love for sneakers, a playful element that reflected their fun-loving spirit. With family at the heart of the celebration, guests were embraced with warmth and hospitality, making it clear that Emmanuel and Tania’s love isn’t just about the two of them—it’s about the beautiful community they’ve built together.

A stunning, classic wedding full of love, personality, and unforgettable moments.
