Santa Barbara Wedding from Elizabeth Messina

Opening a wedding seen through the lens of the lovely Elizabeth Messina is like opening the prettiest of presents. She never fails to capture layer after layer of pure gorgeous, and enviably, makes me fall head over heels in love with each image in the collection. Case and point? This Bacara Resort & Spa beauty planned to perfection by VP Events. It’s pure wedding gold, and makes me count my lucky stars that my job is to share it all with you. See each work of art image here.

From the Bride… I was married July 7, 2012 at Bacara resort and spa on a bluff overlooking the Pacific.  I am Indian and my husband is Mexican.  Our wedding included a Latin Cocktail hour with a tequila bar and a Gypsy King Band and a giant floral elephant.  We had a structure built on the bluff which was simply gorgeous. It truly was a fairy tale for us.
