Santa Barbara Wedding Photographer – Courthouse Weddings, Elopements, and Full-Day Coverage

SANTA BARBARA
ELOPEMENTS

Photo + video team with natural color, calm direction, and real emotion.
Effortless planning, beautiful results.

Hi there!

We are Kate and Mikhail

Zatonsky Moments grew from our love for honest, natural stories — the kind that feel calm and true to you. Today we work as a duo and with a small team of trusted collaborators who share the same eye for timeless color and gentle direction.

Whether it’s the two of us or a teammate from our circle, you’ll always get the same vision, the same care, and the same effortless experience.

From intimate vows to grand celebrations — we’d love to tell yours.

Santa Barbara gave them the backdrop. We shaped the vision. What remains are photographs that outlive the day — and yours could be next.

For most Courthouse elopements, two hours is just right — time for your vows and a walk through the gardens.

IN THEIR WORDS

It was so easy — we booked online, answered a few simple questions about timing, and talked through the plan. On the day itself, everything felt effortless and relaxed.
