Santa Barbara Sunset Engagement Session

Santa Barbara is an enchanting town on California’s central coast with historic adobes, breathtaking beaches and stunning vineyards, all framed by the striking Santa Ynez Mountains. As a favorite day trip destination for this couple, Santa Barbara was the ideal location for Kimmy and Zach to have their engagement photos.

We were able to reserve the Santa Barbara Historical Museum, a landmark cultural institution on the Central Coast with gorgeous courtyards, fountains, and gardens that evoke the romance of early Spanish California. We had just enough time toward the end of the session for golden sunset photos on the beach—an iconic Santa Barbara location.

Enjoy the photos from this sublime and romantic engagement session. We are so excited to photograph Kimmy and Zach’s wedding in May!
