Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort Wedding | Ashley and Eric

bride and groom leave ceremony at Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort

I'm so stoked to say that this amazing wedding was featured on Artfully Wed!

This intimate vintage wedding of Ashley and Eric was held at the Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort in Santa Barbara, CA. Seven years in the making, every year of love was worth it to conclude to this absolutely perfect day and evening. Ashley and Eric met in Chicago, among the windy city their love grew, even having their first kiss at the Clark and Roscoe stop waiting for the subway along the CTA; the Chicago Transit Authority for those who don't know. Friends and family traveled from all over the states to join together in this shimmering affair, enjoying the perfect weather that only Santa Barbara has to offer.

From their first look, to their exciting moves on the dance floor; neither of these two could keep their eyes from the other. Clear skies, and blue oceans made the perfect backdrop for a love so apparent it's hard not to tell that these two were meant to spend the rest of their years together. After accomplishing the perfect wedding, I can't wait to see what next adventure is in store for Ashley and Eric in their lives!
