Santa Barbara Courthouse Wedding and Venice Beach Engagement: Annie + Rick

Sometimes we get the opportunity to shoot awesome super small weddings for couples who prefer to have a more intimate ceremony and then go for a couples session right after. We love getting to shoot these types of weddings because we get to know everyone at the wedding as well as spend more time with our bride and groom shooting some epic couples portraits. So when we got an e-mail from Annie and Rick (who live in Alabama) saying they wanted us to shoot their weekday wedding at the Santa Barbara Courthouse we were super excited! The courthouse is such a beautiful place for a small ceremony. The day before their wedding we met up with them in Venice beach to talk more as well as shoot some more casual engagement photos. Since their engagement and wedding photos were shot so close together we thought we would combine their photos into one epic blogpost of radness.
