Temecula Wine Country Wedding

There couldn't have been a more perfect day for Ryan and Danielle's destination wedding in the Temecula Wine Country.  The sun was shining, the breeze was cool, the bride was at her best, the dance floor was busy, and the guests were happy.  It was such a great wedding, and a lot of fun to return to Temecula, where I spent a couple of years going to school when I was younger.  It's a beautiful town and a wonderful wedding location!  Check out some of the pics:

Aaron & Kelly's Group Elopement in Sonoma, CA

Aaron and Kelly and roughly 25 friends and family flew out to Sonoma County's Gundlach Bundschu winery this last Saturday for what threatened to be a rainy group elopement.  But, with just the right amount of wedding day luck, the clouds parted for about an hour right when the ceremony was to take place.  The vines are blooming, the clouds provided wonderful lighting and an engaging sky, and the wine cave set the perfect mood for the pre-ceremony cocktail party!  Congratulations Aaron and Kelly! 

Wine Valley Elopement

I don't know what it is about elopements, but I think they are the most beautiful ceremonies!  Nothing has to be flashy or over the top... nothing is done to please or entertain guests... everything is just for each other.  Jim and Elena had a beautiful wine valley elopement at the Kenwood Inn and Spa this last Friday, and then we ran off to Chateau St. Jean for some pictures afterwards.  The bride and the groom were stunning, and we got some of the best weather we've had in a few weeks!  Check out a few of the images:
