Temecula Wedding Featuring Samantha & Danny

The weather is getting warmer, the vines in the Temecula wineries are beginning to sprout and my thirst for margaritas is growing with each passing day which can only mean one thing: wedding season! Samantha and Danny were my first local Temecula wedding photography clients of the year and I couldn’t have had a more energetic and fun couple to photograph. Samantha had all of her fellow nurses at the wedding and I must say those chicks can have a good time. In fact, there is something that makes you feel quite safe knowing you are in a room full of nurses, even if they are getting blitzed off champagne! In all seriousness this was a relaxed, small and intimate wedding of two families coming together and it was a wonderful event to be a part of and document. This was my first time photographing Wien’s Winery and it was a good location for this type of small wedding ceremony. We arrived, we took photos, we ate, we danced and we documented the awesome that was Samantha and Danny’s wedding. Here are about 100 of the 1,000 images captured that made the final cut from the wedding. Look at them. Let the images burn into your body like a Roman candle or a Trinidad Moruga Scorpion pepper.

I would like to send out a special thanks to my friend Reuben Castro, a wedding photographer in Orange County, who helped me immensely by second shooting with me. This wedding blog post would not be as complete without his assistance.
