A Ritz-Carlton Bacara Wedding: Tiana and Griffith
Tiana and Griffith's Ritz-Carlton Bacara wedding featured an ocean-view ceremony, white florals, Spanish-style architecture, and an energetic reception.
Tiana Kostic and Griffith Gates married at The Ritz-Carlton Bacara in Santa Barbara. Their invitation established the date and setting, while the gallery followed the day from preparation through an ocean-view ceremony and a lively indoor reception.
White florals connected the ceremony and dinner design, and the resort's tile, palms, and coastal light gave the portraits a clear sense of place.
Wedding Details and Coastal Preparation
The invitation, rings, shoes, and fragrance were photographed together before the day accelerated. Tiana then prepared in a room overlooking the property, where her veil caught the window light.
Those quiet frames created a clean opening before guests arrived at the lawn.
An Ocean-View Ceremony
Rows of white chairs and a floral arch faced the Santa Barbara coast. Tiana entered through the garden aisle, and Griffith waited with the ocean and open sky behind him.
The ceremony photographs alternate between wide views of the setting and closer reactions during the vows.
Portraits Around the Resort
After the ceremony, the couple moved through tiled stairways, palms, and warm evening light. The Spanish-style architecture added texture while the coastal landscape kept the portraits relaxed.
A mix of natural light and a short illuminated portrait after dark gave the gallery two distinct moods.
A Lively Reception Finish
The reception moved quickly from dinner into toasts, champagne, and dancing. Staying close to the action preserved the couple's reactions without losing the energy of the room.
The final dip photograph closes the story with movement and celebration.
