I'm Natalie, I am a local photographer based in beautiful Santa Barbara, CA. I mostly focus on intimate and smaller elopements, weddings, and events. The Santa Barbara Courthouse is often where you will find me, photographing civil weddings/elopements, and sometimes bigger weddings in the Mural room or Sunken Gardens. For the past 20 years I've worked on over 230 weddings (and counting!).

“From our first conversation, Natalie responded quickly and made us feel at ease with her friendly, professional approach. On our wedding day, she went above and beyond to capture every moment, staying patient while offering creative ideas that helped us relax in front of the camera. Her talent really shines through in the final photos they're stunning and feel authentic to who we are. Natalie made the entire process smooth and enjoyable, from start to finish.

I'm a California native with a wanderlusting soul. I grew up in the snowy mountains of Lake Tahoe and spent my teenage years in the rainforests of Costa Rica before returning to the West Coast of the United States to study the art of wedding photography and earn my BFA with Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, California.

“I could not recommend Grace Kathryn enough!! She was truly a godsend on our big day. I know deciding on a photographer can be one of the more stressful parts of wedding planning but when we happened upon Grace Kathyrn’s work on Zola we knew she was perfect! She fit our budget and all her work was so worth it. She was extremely communicative and thorough, making sure we covered bases that we hadn't even thought about. We had the necessary meetings prior, the photo lists organized ahead of time, and all the information we needed when deciding on location and our desired aesthetic. On the day of she worked nonstop, helped with poses, made us feel comfortable, and honestly felt like family. She was so personable and put us at ease. She was dependable, even for things outside her role. She even lent us a dog leash and dog treats for our engagement photos when we foolishly forgot to bring our own. She checked on us often leading closer to the big day as well as during, and even though we had a day of wedding coordinator, she felt like one as well. We were so happy to have had Grace Kathyrn work with us and absolutely LOVE all the photos she delivered! She also put lots of work on all the edits that we requested and everything came out perfect!! We felt bad for asking for multiple edits but she was more than happy to do it for us and made sure we didn't feel guilty about asking. She truly made our day and we couldn't be happier!! Thank you Grace Kathyrn for everything!!! You deserve all the praise for your amazing work and work ethic!! We're so happy to have these wedding photos to cherish for the rest of our lives.”

“Note that this is a review for the 12-Week Wedding Planning & Day-Of Coordination service. My wife and I recently had a wedding with Brenda as our day-of coordinator and we could not have been happier with the experience. Since we were doing a significant amount of wedding planning ourselves, we did not intend to have a day-of coordinator. However, many of our vendors asked who we would be using and after some consideration, we decided to invest in one and we are so happy we did. Brenda is very professional, organized, and assertive, which are all integral to being a great coordinator. From our first call, she demonstrated her knowledge about how to run a smooth wedding by asking us details and questions we had not even considered. She uses Honeybook, has automated emails, and remembers even the smallest details, showing how strong her systems are in place. And most of all she is assertive! We were able to hand off planning to her about two weeks before and things the day of went smoothly with our limited involvement. Considering the 12-week package, Brenda has extremely involved and communicative from the moment we started planning. We had many email communications, in addition to phone calls and site visits/rehearsals to ensure everything was smooth. It put us at ease to be alongside someone so experienced. All of these aspects allowed us to be able to soak in the day as much as we could. We are both very happy with her services and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to have a wedding.”

“I honestly cannot believe how lucky we were to have Angie as our wedding planner! Hiring her was one of the best decisions we made, and I would choose her a thousand times over. Angie was the first and only planner I spoke with. After our very first phone call, I told my husband, “She’s the one.” I felt an immediate connection with her, but I had no idea then just how much she would come to mean to us. She was the most amazing planner we could have asked for. When I talk to other people about their experiences with wedding planners, I realize all over again how extraordinary ours was. Angie went above and beyond every single time. Her devotion to her clients is something you feel in everything she does, from the time she gives you to the attention she pays to the smallest details. I always felt like our wedding mattered to her personally. Angie took charge and guided us through the entire process with so much confidence and care. She showed up for every meeting and always knew exactly who to call for anything and everything. Her knowledge and vendor connections were incredible, and having her by our side made even the biggest decisions feel manageable. Our venue, Sunstone Villa, required us to bring in every single vendor and all the infrastructure, including lighting, a kitchen, and bathrooms. There were so many moving pieces, and Angie handled every little piece of that enormous puzzle like an absolute queen! Seeing how much she coordinated and how beautifully she brought it all together left us in awe. Throughout the planning process, she made me feel heard, understood, and so incredibly cared for. She was the person I could turn to when I felt overwhelmed, and her calm, reassuring presence meant more to me than I can explain. Behind our beautiful wedding were countless hours of her hard work, dedication, and heart. We saw how much she poured into making it happen, and we will forever be grateful. Our wedding was the happiest day of our lives, and getting to see everything we had dreamed about come together was unbelievable. Angie will always be such a special part of those memories. What I never expected when I hired a wedding planner was to find someone I would love so much as a person. Somewhere along the way, through all the calls, texts, laughter, and conversations about life, she became a dear friend. She truly was one of the greatest gifts of this entire experience. If you are considering Weddings with Angie, this is your sign to hire her! I wish every couple could feel as supported and cared for as we did. We love you, Angie, and still cannot believe we were lucky enough to have you by our side.”

Awarded Best of Zola
“Jausalynn is truly a master of her craft. I came to her a little over 8 month before our big day with a vision but really allowed her creative juices to flow as we were deciding on our florals. She provided professional and helpful advice but allowed our vision to stay true to us. I was in awe at how many options she provided us that were so aligned with what we brought to her initially. She set up recurring meetings to ensure we stayed aligned and would even send pics of some pieces that worked with our style and interests. I felt so confident that Jaus would bring our vision to life even after our initial prospect call but I didn't know it would have turned out as amazing as it did. The bouquet, boutonnières, aisle moment, bar moment....EVERYTHING was done so perfectly and it was so intentional. I had a dream to incorporate fruits into our tablescape and Jaus made it happen and was so creative in her placements. I couldn't believe it when I saw it! Hiring a florist is truly putting trust in someone to deliver on a vision that you have....hiring Jaus was the single best decision we made on our wedding day. Not to mention she is the kindest most wonderful soul I have ever met and I feel honored to have worked with her. If you have even a slight interest in having the best experience with your wedding florals you better book her. She will change your life for the better!”

“Didn't know this place existed! Went there for a reception. Dinner was super beautiful - long tables, string lights, and perfect weather. Felt really easy and fun. Then we moved into the barn and it turned into a full-on party. Disco ball, fog, lights, DJ — everyone was dancing. Honestly one of the best dance floors I’ve seen at a wedding. Really hidden gem.”

“Right off the bat -- Boho Chic Dreams DELIVERS. STUNNING. WORK!!! Gracie was such AN AMAZING designer to work with and leading up to the wedding weekend. Come wedding day, I could not not believe she was able to take all of my flower dreams and turn them into a reality! I honestly have no words for my bouquet, except it was breath taking!!! Her attention to detail shows through in every flower! What I loved most about working with Boho Chic is that the designer does not limit to just a "boho" style but she expands on any style or mood the bride has envision. My "muted tropical flower" exploration was most definitely executed so wonderfully, I can not stop looking at all of our photos from the wedding day! Thank you Gracie!!”

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,000

Hi! My name is Tommy - AKA, DJ Blasé. I've been a DJ for 6 years now - I love being able to bring people together through the power of music! I DJ events ranging from weddings to birthday parties, brunches to dances, and each time, I find myself getting the most joy from watching strangers connect with each other on the dance floor. To me, that's the most important part of my job: helping people connect with one another.

“From the moment we met DJ Blasé, we knew we had made the right choice. He was warm and friendly, and genuinely listened to what we wanted for our reception while bringing his own creative ideas to the table. His energy on the night was infectious—he got everyone up and dancing and kept the party going strong all evening long. The music selection was terrific, with a perfect mix that had our guests grooving from start to finish. DJ Blasé made our wedding reception unforgettable, and we can't recommend him highly enough. Thanks for making our special day so fun and inviting!”

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $2,000

I’m a Santa Barbara–based photographer documenting weddings, elopements, and proposals along the coast and beyond. My approach is simple: capture the day as it actually felt. Clients often tell me how comfortable and at ease they felt being photographed, which allows moments to unfold naturally rather than feeling staged. My work leans true to color and natural in tone, with a focus on light, composition, and the in-between moments that often end up meaning the most.

“From our first conversation, Studio Bibb's team was easy to work with and got back to us quickly whenever we had questions. Olivia went above and beyond by meeting us at our venue the day before the wedding to map out the best spots and understand our vision. On the big day, she captured intimate moments between my husband and me, while her second shooter got stunning photos of our families coming together. The photos are absolutely breathtaking and worth every penny—we were blown away by the quality and attention to detail. Olivia's persistence in getting everything just right meant we have images we'll treasure forever. We'd recommend Studio Bibb to any couple looking for photographers who truly care about their story.”
