A Beautiful Union at the Courthouse From ByCherry Photography

There’s something endlessly romantic about eloping at the historic Santa Barbara Courthouse, and this glowing couple made it even more magical. Dressed in effortlessly elegant white gowns—one short and playful, the other flowing and timeless—they exchanged vows and rings beneath the courthouse’s iconic Spanish-Colonial arches. Each bride held a petite bouquet of white blooms and fresh greenery, echoing the simplicity and beauty of the day.

Their intimate ceremony was witnessed by a close-knit group of loved ones and beautifully documented by ByCherry Photography, who captured every heartfelt glance and joyful smile—from the courthouse steps to the celebratory pints that followed. Agape Films was also there to film the tender moments and timeless atmosphere, preserving every second of the magic.

After the ceremony, the celebration continued just a few blocks away at O’Malley’s Pub, where the newlyweds raised a toast with perfectly poured Guinnesses—a nod to their hometown of Derry, Ireland. The evening concluded with an elegant dinner at the luxurious Hotel Californian, where laughter, love, and a touch of Irish spirit filled the air.
