Vanessa and Julio were engaged on New Years Eve in NYC. Now living in Vanessa's home state of California they could not wait to share their beautiful city of Santa Barbara with friends and family from all over the country. The Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort was the perfect venue, right in the heart of town and on the beach! Their day quickly took on a romantic and whimsical narrative with details highlighting Old Santa Barbara and their own Spanish culture. Soft pastel pink to orange florals accented with vibrant seasonal greens provided a lush feeling.

It was the perfect fall day in Santa Barbara and Vanessa's anticipation built as she watched the seaside ceremony space come to life from her room tucked just above. Guests were welcomed with spa water and a collection of photos from their engagement shoot. A delicate arch adorned with light florals and soft white linen framed the alter. Classic palm trees lined the background with nothing but ocean as far as the eye could see. The emotion and love was undeniable to all.
As guests enjoyed cocktail hour on the patio with ocean views Vanessa & Julio enjoyed intimate and playful photos in the courtyards and on the sand as newlyweds! Reception kicked off full of energy with their first dance that was specially translated in both English and Spanish. After dinner celebration continued with the most lively dance floor. Everyone joined in to dance it out for the new Mr. & Mrs. ! At the end of the night guests were picked up in a party bus to continue on State Street as you do when in SB.
The two were even featured over at Santa Barbara Wedding Style!!
