What began as a chance encounter by the apartment pool soon turned into something much more. After hours of conversation, Joe asked for Rachael’s number, and by that weekend they were on their first date.
Years later, he proposed during a horseback ride along the Santa Barbara coast, complete with a hidden photographer and picnic waiting at the end of the trail.
It only felt natural to return to Santa Barbara for the wedding itself. At the Montecito Club, Rachael and Joe exchanged vows under blue skies, then celebrated with climbing greenery, blush-toned blooms, a martini bar, and a dance floor that never cleared.
