I could go on and on about how dreamy this Wilson Creek Winery wedding in Temecula was. Have you been to Temecula? It is so rich in history, and has become quite the tourist destination with its resorts, festivals and championship golf courses.

The color palette of Vanessa and Andrew’s wedding had me like *YES, PLEASE*. From the contrast of the brides white gown and the grooms navy suite (complete with dapper bow tie) to the subtle, neutral colors of the bridesmaids and groomsmen attire. It just worked – flawlessly!

Wilson Creek Winery Wedding Photos

The grounds at Wilson Creek Winery did not disappoint. And, in my humble opinion, getting married in a vineyard is never a bad idea. Am I right or am.i.right? The natural greenery of the vineyard and beautiful stonework on the surround buildings provided the perfect backdrop for Vanessa and Andrew’s nuptials.

The overwhelming love was palpable, smiles and hugs were in abundance and I’m so so fortunate to have been able to capture it all on camera. I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I enjoyed working with this couple.

In the age of Pinterest, Instagram and too many wedding websites to count, it really is hard for my brides and grooms to plan a wedding that translates cohesively (not to mention within budget). With the help of Pure Lavish Events, Vanessa and Andrew did such an awesome job adding elements that were meaningful and impactful but not over-the-top. From their inviting stationary to Vanessa’s simple pearl earrings, details were well thought out, but not over-stimulating.

I love how they allowed the elements of Wilson Creek Winery to play in their favor. Rustic wine barrels and grape covered trellises provided real life frames for each pose and candid shot. It was easy to capture the love between Vanessa and Andrew as well as the love their family and friends have for these newlyweds. Plus any wedding reception that ends with guests dancing around with neon light sabers is something I want to be a part of. Always.
