Private and Aesthetic Beach Wedding in Montecito

If you’re looking for the perfect inspiration for your intimate and contemporary elopement, look no further. This shoot by Nicole Donnelly Photography was clean-cut and chic—an aesthetic dream. The couple, Shaina and Nathan, chose to start their day at the Rosewood Miramar Beach Hotel, situated in Montecito along one of southern California’s most beautiful and exclusive coastlines. The bride’s hair and makeup was done by On Location Glam, and her sleek long-sleeve gown with a gorgeous open back was by BHLDN. The groom took on a classic look in a black tuxedo and bowtie.

In a non-traditional fashion, the couple met up at the hotel well before their ceremony to pop a bottle of rosé and take some elegant photos on the luxurious property. Afterwards, the bride and groom moved on to a nearby beach along the rocky coastline for their ceremony. The whole event was rather whimsical as people on horseback strolled by while Patrice Handley of Santa Barbara Classic Weddings—the only person in attendance—walked the pair through their vows. Alpha Floral also provided just one simple bouquet for the bride of long-stemmed calla lilies.

From Nicole Donnelly Photography:

This intimate elopement took place at the Rosewood Miramar Beach Hotel in Montecito California where the two popped champagne and spent some time together before heading to a private beach nearby to exchange vows oceanside. The newlyweds spent time together as the sunset before heading to San Ysidro Ranch for a romantic dinner for two.
