Saturday in the park

We visited Alice Keck Park Memorial Gardens last weekend. We drive by it weekly and there are times we see wedding ceremonies taking place so it piqued our interest. Located on a city block on Santa Barbara, Micheltorena, Garden, and Arrellaga Streets, the park has such a nice and serene feel. There are lawns, a nice pond, plenty of plants, a gazebo, and paths that take you around the park.

When we arrived we saw plenty of people lounging around and a wedding ceremony about to start! The weather was so sunny and cool, it was a perfect day for an outdoor ceremony.

Walking up a few steps to the park entrance on Micheltorena Street. The grass was so soft that it encouraged picnicking.

View of some people taking portraits. Surrounded by all of the trees and a nice pond, it's like you're in another place, in touch with nature.

There were people gathering around the gazebo before a ceremony began.

The view must have been really beautiful while in the gazebo. Bride and groom looking out over the water, surrounded by loved ones and nature :)

Another view of the gazebo. Although the park is public, the gazebo was on the water it provided a sense of privacy.

This is a path that takes you to the gazebo. The light coming from behind the trees was so beautiful and romantic.

A garden wedding sounds so sweet and romantic, especially in the spring time when all of the flowers are in bloom. Since the park is smaller it provides such an intimate feel. And having nature as a backdrop is so lovely.
