Wedding at the Santa Barbara Natural History Museum

Wedding at the Santa Barbara Natural History Museum. Shea and Pat are a very cool couple. I instantly felt at ease working with them. Their wedding was fun and relaxed and really brought out their personalities. Pat is a huge Raiders fan and even went as far to have their logo on his wedding band! Shea has to be a super cool, easy going person to be ok with that! Shea looked so beautiful in her wedding gown and I LOVED her shoes!

The Santa Barbara Natural History Museum has a really nice backdrop for a wedding. I love the nature that surrounded them. If you’re looking for a nice and peaceful venue that seems more like you’re in the forest then in Santa Barbara, I’d definitely recommend the Natural History Museum. This location can give the feeling of a wooded wonderland. It has a secluded and hidden charm that is rare to find in many places around Ventura and Santa Barbara. We got some beautiful photos with the sun peeking through the trees, and the ceremony site was so peaceful. It was a beautiful wedding and after the ceremony, we went over to the Elks Lodge in downtown Santa Barbara. That’s when the party started and everyone seemed to have a great time. They had a super tasty taco bar, and lots of drinks – including customized beer coozies.

Here’s some of my favorite shots from their wedding day.
