Karen and David were so cute when Katie and I showed up to photograph them preparing for their big day. We loved the fact that their entire wedding party was getting ready in the same room. It’s not very often we get photos of the bride and groom helping each other get ready. The couple got married at the beautiful Canary Hotel in Santa Barbara. They decided on Santa Barbara because it is where David grew up and where the couple took their first vacation together. Karen and David are both musicians and their love of music was present throughout the day. The Santa Barbara String Quartet performed during their ceremony and their first dance song as husband and wife was Someone to Watch Over Me by Ella Fitzgerald. I love that song!
Who knows where the couple is celebrating now… David planned a surprise honeymoon for the two of them. I can’t wait to hear where they ended up!

Here are some of our Red Loft Studios favorites.

Here is the recipe for a gorgeous wedding.
