Joy & Xin are from Canada and decided they wanted to elope to someplace warm – so they chose Santa Barbara!  I absolutely love Santa Barbara and think it is full of so much beauty, so I think they made a wise choice!  They said “I do” during a very intimate ceremony at Villa Verano, a private estate located in the hills of Santa Barbara.  Villa Verano was the perfect backdrop for their ceremony and romantic portraits.  After the ceremony, we made our way to the Santa Barbara Courthouse for a few more photos.  The two were full of love and excitement the entire day and were just so happy to marry one another!  I hope you enjoy some of my favorite images from their special day!
