Bates Ranch House Carpinteria Wedding photos of Kate and Ryan. I can honestly say this was the wedding of the year. Not to take away from any of our other amazing couples and their awesome weddings. Kate and Ryan have such a strong bond! They have gone through so much in their relationship already with some hard times in life that I know they are meant to be together. Bruce and I only know them a bit and we both cried about 4 times during the ceremony and reception! There was so much love and warmth in the air! Bates Ranch house is in a little town called Carpinteria outside of Santa Barbara. Kates family rents it every year for a family vacation and they thought wow what a perfect place to get married! Well it really was!! Gorgeous view of the ocean, beautiful house, and amazing grounds to walk around and take photos. I loved the soft colors of the bridesmaids dresses and the cool shoes of the groomsmen! A little mistake make for the most perfect fun bridal party shot! The flower petals were supposed to line the aisle of the ceremony but were left out. So we took them and each of the bridal party took a handful and we had one shot to get it. Those photos are some of my favorite. Here are just a small sampling of some of our favorites from this beautiful Santa Barbara wedding.
