Santa Barbara is one of my favorite places to take photos. There is such a wide variety of photo spots – some are incredibly unique to Santa Barbara that you won’t be able to capture anywhere else.

One thing that most people struggle with while traveling (including me) is taking nice photos in popular tourist destinations without hoards of tourists around.

Looking for the perfect Instagram spot, locations for engagement shoots, or just a nice place to take photos? These are my favorite spots that I’ve been and the spots at the top of my list to go to on a future trip!
