Alex & Adam’s Wedding, El Presidio Chapel, Santa Barbara

 
 
 

I love these photos from Alex & Adam’s wedding at El Presidio Chapel in Santa Barbara. They honored deep family roots and ended their ceremony by jumping over a broomstick. Alex is from Houston, Texas and this tradition was performed as a marriage ceremony for slaves in the Southern United States in the 1840s and 1850s who were often not allowed to wed legally. There is a richness and vibrance that comes with embracing where you’ve come from and I was happy to document it in all its full color.

I am booking dates for 2022 weddings anywhere in the world (I’ll come to you!). I only shoot a limited number of weddings a year, so don’t be shy to reach out and include me in your future party vibes today.
