So nice to see that hard work does pay off when you see Katy Carrier and Erica Espana’s work on Style Me Pretty. They made this gorgeous wedding even more so. They certainly kept me busy because there was just so much to photograph! And that’s a good thing.

Nancy and Tim’s wedding is featured on SMP’s Little Black Book blog. Thanks for featuring us, SMP!

An honor as always to work with Katy Carrier again on this most gorgeous wedding. Along with Erica España, they made this wedding absolutely elegant, chic, and stylish. The wedding of Lisa and Alan Jackson took place at the Santa Barbara Courthouse Mural Room and reception at the Montecito Country Club. A palette of aqua and yellow and a sundry of scrumptious ornamental designs drizzled all over makes this wedding like an inviting luscious dessert.  For starters, let’s go to the ceremony site shall we? How apropos it was for two prosecutors to tie the knot at the famous Mural Room of Santa Barbara’s historic courthouse. Its ornate cathedral like ceiling and gold leafing makes for a historical ceremonial place.  Next we go to the Montecito Country Club for a dazzling reception room with elegant chandeliers, distressed floors and with an amazing view of the vast acreage of the club. The escort cards display was not only original but ornate and each card was hand written by calligrapher Bonnie Nelson.
And over to the head table, is a display of opulence.  The arrangement from the florals and elegant jeweled candle holders complements the symmetric shape of the banquet hall. All this is not only a feast for the eyes, but for your sense of touch as well. Notice the aqua linen table cover’s lovely paisley pattern? Brought to you by La Tovala Linens.  All is accentuated by light yellow floral arrangements by Cody Floral Design that is balanced and not over powering. Katy along with Erica made this lovely affair a night to remember.
