Santa Barbara Style: Welcome to the Carnival, Part 1

Please see below for the complete team of vendors.
Welcome to the Carnival where fun, vibrant colors and love ruled the day. Jalama Canon Ranch and Vineyard with its breathtaking views and quaint accommodations transports you to another time. Using the ranch’s scenery and its turn of the century cattle ranch feel as inspiration, we created our colorful Carnival. I enlisted the assistance of a few friends who happen to be some of Santa Barbara’s most creative and talented event professional. A little glitter, a breath taking backdrop and of course the sweetest brown mare all helped to create a magical photo shoot…the laugher we shared that day comes through in each photo. Enjoy!
