Mercedes and Chad | Santa Barbara Courthouse Wedding

Saturday, June 12, 2010 Posted in Weddings

What a wonderful day that was! Mercedes and Chad are so amazing and the energy and love was so plainly visible, their huge smiles tell it all. The ceremony was held in the Sunken Gardens of the Santa Barbara Courthouse. This is also where we shot the super fun “formal” portraits. Right afterward we headed out for the couple portraits making our way down to the beach and Stearns Wharf, with stops at the Historic Santa Barbara Presidio and State Street.

Take a piece of sunny California with you when you head back to Chicago. Thanks, you two, for a wonderful day!
