Time to get this party started!

Can't end the night without some delicious dessert!

Deborah and Richard brought white parasols to help shade their guests from the sun during the ceremony. As you can see in some of the photos above, they served double duty as fun photo props for the wedding party. Of course, Deborah and Richard couldn't help getting some fun photos with them as well!

Congratulations to this beautiful couple!

COWELL HAY BARN WEDDING INFO

Cowell Hay Barn is a part of the UC Santa Cruz campus. The original barn was built in the early 1860s, but in 2015 it was completely disassembled and renovated. Now, it's the perfect place to get that rustic feel without giving up modern amenities. You can fit up to 200 guests inside the barn and you can choose to have your ceremony inside the barn, just outside the barn, or at the nearby Ocean View Field, which you saw pictured above.
