Getting married but not sure where to have it?

Recently we have had the pleasure of shooting some weddings at Villa De Amore winery in Temecula CA. I must say, this place is immaculate! Nestled deeply in the heart of wine country, this lush Mediterranean style estate sits on 5 acres of the most beautiful landscape surrounded by rolling hills with vineyards as far as the eye can see.

Some of the amenities include two banquet rooms, bridal suite, full catering facility, and a groom’s dressing room. Guys, you’re going to love this, the groom’s dressing room also includes a pool table. That's right; a little nervous, shoot some pool with the guys to take the edge off.

I could talk all day about how amazing this place is but you’re just going to have to see for yourself.

Nick & Pauline

...another amazing wedding at Villa de Amore in Temecula Wine country. This bridal party was definitely a lively bunch! They were partying from the minute they got to the venue-and they were having a whole lot of fun! You can tell from all of the emotion after the ceremony that this was a very tight knit group. I loved, loved, loved the pink & green colors of the dresses & flowers also! Very nice! I was a bit concerned about the 90 beta fish that were used in the centerpieces, but they all made it through the night even with all the partying going on!

Matt & Sheila

This marriage was 16 years in the making when Matt & Sheila began their new life together with their 13 year old son Jacob this past Saturday. This couple is very strong in their faith and have been blessed with wonderful family and friends who shared this memorable day with them. Sheila was stunning and Matt was all smiles the whole time...what a perfect day for this family!

Gerald & Trisha Part 2

Gerald & Trisha's engagement photos turned out so great, we were excited to have the opportunity to do family photos with them and their 4 adorable boys this weekend. What an exciting day! It was exhausting, but the kids were so much fun to take pictures of and what cuties they were! The action took place in downtown Riverside across from the Mission Inn where we found a nice alley that was a perfect spot to capture them with Gerald's Harley. As you can see...they are a beautiful family and so much fun to work with.

Frank and Dawn

This weekend, we had the pleasure of shooting Frank & Dawn's wedding at the Temecula Creek Inn. First of all, I have to say that this place is AMAZING. If I could do my wedding all over again, I would definitely have it at this location. It is in a very woodsy area of the golf course with an old stone house and small bridges running over streams throughout the reception area...very nice! I would highly recommend it. Adding to the beauty of the location were the special touches Frank added (yes, the groom planned everything ). The arrangements of Gerbera Daisies done by Sweet Flowers added elegance to the rustic style of the old stone house. Frank and Dawn looked amazing and so did their wedding. We hope you enjoy the pictures as much as everyone else has!

Alisha & Daniel

Alisha & Daniel were married this weekend at Villa de Amore in Temecula. I really loved this place! It has an old spanish style feel to it which adds to the romance of this beautiful winery. With rolling hills covered in grapevines, it sets the perfect backdrop for any wedding.
