Santa Barbara Wedding Photographer
My work is tailored to serve discerning California couples who crave a clean, refined aesthetic with a timeless touch—especially those choosing to celebrate in a more intentional, intimate way. Your elopement experience with me is designed to feel safe, present, and totally effortless (with a stunning collection of images to help you relive it all again and again).
You can lean in and breathe easy—my mission is empowering you to be fully present so you can soak in every cherished moment of your wedding day.
Legacy-worthy wedding photography, yours for life.
So you'll remember how it felt.
As your photographer, I’m here to guide you with empathy, intuition, and just the right amount of direction. When you feel so comfortable you forget you’re being photographed, that’s when the magic happens. You’ll be directed with confidence, posed with precision, and you’ll always know what to do with your hands.
I’m both your documentarian and director: I blend into the background during the ceremony and take charge when it’s time to wrangle your intimate guest list for family photos. Because you and your loved ones deserve both. Whatever your elopement calls for, I got you.
You don't have to choose between a seamless wedding photography experience and the chance to live in the moment.

Amy + David, San Ysidro Ranch
“I'm so happy we hired Emily to photograph our micro-wedding. She made sure to give gentle instruction, but always made us feel at ease and kept us laughing."
liza + delaney, santa barbara courthouse
“Emily photographed our elopement and I don't believe we could have picked a better photographer. She captured our love so beautifully; we are SO obsessed with the photos."
TAMLYN + GEORGE, HOTEL CALIFORNIAN
“Emily is an elopement angel and I cannot recommend Anna Delores Photography enough. We are beyond thankful she was part of our special day."
I named “Anna Delores” after my grandmothers! It’s a tribute to my heritage and commitment to creating heirloom-worthy imagery with every wedding I photograph.
I’m a big believer in being present, having a damn good time, and connecting with each other in ways that go way deeper than social media. On your wedding day, I’ll cry, laugh, and dance with you, all while creating elegant, artful imagery in the process (yours for life).
