I cannot recommend eloping enough. Especially in Santa Barbara. Being an elopement videographer allows me to be completely present for the true meaning of the day—LOVE.

Cici and Nat are undeniably in love and adorable and kind and fun, and their day of marriage perfectly reflected that. Please enjoy their super 8 film. If you haven’t visited the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, please do, it is magical. We started at the garens and ended at the Santa Barbara Courthouse right in downtown Santa Barbara.

Cici and I connected through instagram and our Sicilian American roots. She is a multi-talented woman and even has her own cookbook! Check out her work here.

All footage is always and only super 8mm film processed and scanned by Pro8mm in Los Angeles.

All the beautiful photos below are by Leyna of Yellow Heart Photography. Check out her family and commercial work on her site.
