Riviera Mansion Wedding: Bharat & Audrey

Filed in: Weddings

Riviera Mansion Wedding

We finished our ELEVENTH year of wedding photograph with one of the classiest weddings we have ever experienced! Our 2017 season has been incredible and we can’t believe we’ve already come to the end of our 2017 season!

On an ordinary July day in 2014 Bharat went to dinner at Los Arroyos in Montecito with his friends. But it quickly went from ordinary to extraordinary when they just happened to have the most beautiful waitress he had ever seen. Audrey is a timeless and classy beauty, and the second she walks in a room you can’t help but turn notice her beauty. And Bharat has great style and a charming smile! Audrey was working one of her last shifts as a waitress while she was packing up her house and getting ready to move to LA for law school that month. During dinner, Bharat and his friends, (who were clearly in favor of these two dating), convinced this babe of a waitress to join them for drinks later that night at the El Encanto. She agreed, and they all had a wonderful night, but didn’t talk for a few days afterwards. But then one of Bharat’s friends pushed him to call her, and they spent the next few days talking, hanging out, and taking midnight walks to the beach. But she was getting ready to move away! So during the last week she lived in Santa Barbara, Bharat made their relationship official thanks to a little nudge by Audrey’s sister Emily. We love how their friends and family were intricately involved with the start of their relationship! The next two and a half years they dated long distance, traveled and adventured together as often as they could, shared so many incredible moments, and truly became the best of friends as they fell madly in love with each other. Exactly two and a half years after he asked her to be his girlfriend, Bharat asked Audrey to be his wife at the El Encanto which is where they hung out the very first night they met! And then they started planning their wedding at the Riviera Mansion in downtown Santa Barbara.

Their wedding was all things classy and timeless, and we had so much fun photographing it! They are such quality people and surround themselves with the same. Their wedding day was filled with celebration, and a perfect color palette of neutrals and metallic. And it’s no wonder her name is Audrey because she is like a classic Hollywood socialite! With a classic tux, an elegant dress, and  martinis in hand, this bride and groom were a dream to photograph! We had such a wonderful time, and we’re so excited to share a few of our favorites with you!
