I have the most stunning wedding for you today, filled with so much colour, amazing decor and the most gorgeous couple. Courtney and Sam wanted a wedding that really reflected them as a couple. They wanted to include many elements into their day, including a nod to Lord of the Rings, Pirates, Doctor Who and both of their backgrounds of Wisconsin & California. They did this by creating a beautifully whimsical woodland ceremony, complete with the most amazing flowers and Jewish Chuppah. This was followed by a festival inspired reception with plenty of jewel tones, tie dye, amazing decor and the most delicious looking cake. The whole wedding is filled to the brim with colour, personality and so much fun, all captured perfectly by James & Jess I know you are going to love it as much as I do. Fall Wedding at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History

Courtney and Sam were married on 16th September 2017 at Santa Barbara, California. ‘Our inspiration came from ourselves! The theme was a mix of Lord of the Rings, pirates, Doctor Who, Wisconsin & California. The color palette all around featured jewel tones, with the ceremony having more of a Renaissance Faire vibe and the reception having a more festive atmosphere. The ceremony was officiated by both our rabbi and our dear friend, so a few Jewish traditions were incorporated into the ceremony  – including the chuppah, seven blessings,  and the breaking of the glass.’
