Temecula Wedding Photographer
Honest, unposed wedding photographs made in real light. In Temecula, that means spots like De Portola Wine Trail and Old Town Temecula.
I photograph San Diego weddings the way they actually feel — the nervous laugh before the first look, the toast that goes off-script, the last song when the dance floor forgets anyone is watching. My approach is documentary at heart, with just enough gentle direction that you never have to wonder what to do with your hands.
Temecula wine country is San Diego's answer to Napa — rolling vineyards, hot-air balloons at dawn, and a cluster of wineries built specifically for weddings. The light through the vines at golden hour is genuinely special.
Local know-how: Summer afternoons run hot inland — we shoot early or late and build in shade. Most wineries require you to use their preferred vendors for the venue but welcome outside photographers; I'll confirm per site.
