A Fall Wedding at the Unitarian Society of Santa Barbara
Shea and Shane's engagement session at Vasquez Rocks was all sandstone and sunset. For the wedding they went classic, with the ceremony and reception both at the Unitarian Society of Santa Barbara for 88 guests.
A First Look with Dad
Before the ceremony Shea had a first look with her dad, which is always one of the most emotional moments of the day.

The Ceremony
Shea's dad walked her in through the big wooden doors into the sanctuary, with its rose window and wood pews. Her brother Riley officiated, which made the vows even more personal.

Courtyard Portraits
The grounds are full of Spanish-style arches, mature trees and garden paths, so we didn't need to go anywhere else for portraits. The bridesmaids wore burgundy, the guys wore navy, and Shea carried an autumn bouquet in rust and blush from PacWest Blooms.

The Reception
The reception was in the hall next door, a big room with tall arched windows. It had a grand entrance, dinner by Avoir Faire, speeches, a first dance and a father-daughter dance. In place of a cake, Shea's mom made a dessert bar. Double Time Entertainment kept the dance floor going, and Big Days by B&K ran the whole day.
