A Stunning October El Encanto Belmond wedding in Santa Barbara, California.

800 Alvarado Place • Santa Barbara • CA 93103

Sophia + Joel planned this wedding under 3 months with the amazing Tatiana with Vine + Branch Events Co. Their day was filled with so much love, emotion and the best laughs.

If you’ve ever been to the El Encanto, A Belmond Hotel in Santa Barbara, you know that it’s stunning and their service is top notch. Everyone who works there is amazing, from valet to dinner servers. You are well taken cared of and want you and your guests to have the most incredible day. The property is quaint, yet spacious. The iconic pond is so special and beautiful in every way for your ceremony. It reminds me of the scene in Crazy Rich Asians when she walks down the aisle in water surrounded by florals. It’s just iconic and has a very similar feel, but in a Santa Barbara way.

The hotel is up top on a quiet hill, with views that are so special, while still only being 6 minutes from downtown Santa Barbara. Every part of the property is beautiful and perfect for any size wedding. Sophia + Joel, had their closest 100 guests with them and still it felt super intimate. After dinner, all their guests joined them in the ballroom underneath the lobby and such a perfect place to party the night away.

While I have photographed many weddings in Santa Barbara, California, The El Encanto Belmond is my favorite venue just because of how much it has to offer. From elegant, spacious well lit rooms, beautiful nature all around the property and delicious food, you’ll understand why having your wedding here will be the best decision.

I’d love to work with you if you are looking for a wedding photographer! Let’s connect and chat about your big day!
