Sunstone Winery & Villa Wedding, Santa Ynez | Inspiration for the Modern Romantic

Sunstone Winery & Villa Wedding, Santa Ynez | Inspiration for the Modern Romantic

Sunstone Winery is a gorgeous luxury Tuscan-inspired villa, and it can't be a more perfect destination wedding venue. Located just outside of Santa Barbara among the Santa Ynez Valley, Sunstone Villa and Winery is a property that feels like you are in a European countryside with Provencal gardens, sweeping vineyards, and old-world inspired limestone villa.

Santa Barbara Courthouse Engagement Session | Kelley & Ryan

I'll start out by saying Kelley and Ryan might possibly be two of the sweetest human beings! They are so incredibly loving and caring for each other, and spending this afternoon roaming around the Santa Barbara Courthouse grounds was an absolute pleasure. 

This was the first time we actually met in person, so we got to catch up on all things life and wedding planning. They will be tying the knot at the beautiful Ojai Valley Inn next year, which will be planned and coordinated by the talented Alissa Hussey. To say that I can hardly wait would be an understatement! 

Here are a few of my favorites from their session. Special shout out to Peonies and Petals for making this beautiful bouquet!
