I’m slightly behind on blogging my weddings but it’s only because I love my couples so much. I can’t just post a blog of wedding photos without sharing their day. All of the wedding couples I’ve worked with this year have been so special to me and I want the blog to reflect it!
I met Adam and Nichole through Nichole’s wonderful aunt who is a skating judge and a good friend of my mom. The first time I talked to Nichole, I knew I was going to enjoy working with her! At their engagement shoot I got a glimpse of how their love works and lets just say there is a lot of laughter! We were all laughing so much, half the shots were blurry (okay not half, I’m exaggerating).
They decided to get married at the beautiful Villa De Amore in Temecula. The day was perfect, sunny skies, not too hot and the vineyards ready to harvest. Nichole looked gorgeous in her beautifully beaded dress and Adam didn’t look so bad himself in his brown tux. Nichole walked down the aisle with the string trio from Naples Chamber Music serenading her. It was gorgeous, the whole day… their love, the details, everything!
Nichole did her own make-up and it looked great!
Adam getting ready and helping one of the adorable ring bearers
I love that they had the parisols to help their guests stay cool. The second shot is from my second shooter, Binh Dang
There were crystals hanging everywhere! For those of you who know me, you know how much I LOVE crystals! Could this wedding be more perfect for me to shoot? =)
Adam’s dad officiated the ceremony.
Are they not totally adorable? AND they all did a great job… actually walking down the aisle and the flower girl performing all flower petal dropping duties!
I love seeing the faces of the bride and groom when they first see each other at the ceremony.
Is this place not gorgeous? I loved the addition of the chandelier too! More crystals!
One thing I’ve noticed at all the weddings I’ve shot is that the bride and groom always feel the rings right after they are put on… such a cool moment!
Love Adam’s face… a glimpse into all the laughter they will have in their marriage. =)
The flower girl was such a ham but I guess she needed a break for awhile. She also happens to be the daughter of Nichole’s maid of honor and sister.
Love this!
She is stunning!
The vineyards were so pretty and the light, perfect.
My favorite!!
The first dance
I loved Nichole’s bouquet and the broaches attached! All the flowers were done by Floral Sensations
The cake, which I got a piece of (and it was good!) was made by Elegance on Display. I love the fall colors in the center pieces!
These are my favorite parent dance photos because, although you can’t see much of their faces, it still tells you so much about how they felt. Love it!
A dance with Nichole’s very special aunt!
Can you find the bouquet in the first shot? Gold stars if you do!
I feel bad for older couples at weddings I shoot… I usually stalk them on the dance floor. I don’t know why but there is something I adore about lasting love and a proper dance! The shot on the right was taken by Binh, my second shooter.
Adam and Nichole, thank you so much for letting me shoot your special day! I had a blast and I’m looking forward to more shoots in the future… even if I have to fly to Texas!
