It’s true what they say, good things come to those who wait. And after postponing their wedding twice because of the pandemic, Tessa and Patrick were finally able to witness their dream wedding come to life right before their eyes. Renowned for its beautiful weather, palm-lined streets, and elegant Spanish-style architecture—this California-loving couple looked to their favorite city for inspo to create their retro Santa Barbara micro wedding. 
The couple started with a beautiful ceremony at the historic Presidio Chapel—an 18th century chapel with grand oak doors, stained-glass windows, wrought iron chandeliers, and vaulted ceilings. After tying the knot, they were escorted by a Mariachi band to their courtyard reception at Villa &Vine. With ivy-covered walls, string lights, and a tiered water fountain—it was the perfect romantic setting for their intimate affair. The bride showed off her fun personal style with a short wedding dress, sweeping veil, and cowboy boots while the groom was effortlessly cool in his classic suit. On top of the epic fashion, photographer Maya Lora captured every detail we guarantee you’ll want to use as wedding inspiration.
