Jessica & Ammar had a gorgeous destination Santa Barbara estate wedding at Villa Verano. Their wedding day was filled with so much light and laughter, it was an honor to photograph it all! The couple lives in Nigeria, so Jessica did much of her planning from across the globe. I was so impressed with how she pulled together all of her wedding details – she even flew in her flowers and made the arrangements herself! I am absolutely obsessed with the color palette of this wedding. How beautiful are those JCrew bridesmaid dresses?!
