We first met Melissa and Andrew last year when they inquired about taking engagement photos in the almond orchards right here in our hometown of Shafter, CA. The time came to take their engagement photos, and the results were stunning! They loved their engagement photos so much that they decided to book us for their wedding day also, and we were so over the moon excited to work with them again.
So, on October 3rd 2024, we had the pleasure of capturing Melissa and Andrew’s gorgeous fairytale wedding at Briar Rose Winery in Temecula, CA. With the romantic hillside as the backdrop, soft lavender tones, cottages, and dainty florals, their fairytale vision was truly brought to life. A full circle moment from the almond orchards fairytale setting. As Temecula wedding photographers, we can’t help but feel so grateful to have captured the beauty of their day!
Briar Rose Winery Wedding
Briar Rose Winery is a hidden gem, offering an intimate yet peaceful setting. Fun fact: The house is actually an exact replica of the cottage from the Snow White ride at Disneyland! How cool is that?!
Melissa looked absolutely stunning in her lace gown with a sweetheart neckline. Her veil floated gently in the breeze, while she carried a simple bouquet of white lilies. Meanwhile, Andrew stood proudly beside her in a black tux and lavender tie, fully embodying a dapper groom. Together, they looked like a real-life fairytale couple! This set the scenery for their beautiful wedding day to take place, and to begin their story.
Wedding Day Highlights
One of our favorite elements was the floral swing, covered in white and lavender blooms which created the most enchanting backdrop for their portraits. Their florals and greenery all tied together so beautifully along with their soft color palette. When it came time for their ceremony, there was not a dry eye in sight. Their vows took place under a stunning floral arch surrounded by their closest family and friends. The intimate ceremony, set against the hillside, was absolutely breathtaking. Afterward, guests gathered for an outdoor reception, sipping on Temecula’s finest wines, homemade horchata, and enjoying some charcuterie while soaking in the beauty of the evening. There was even mariachi performing during cocktail hour. We are all for couples celebrating their heritage!
Melissa and Andrew’s wedding was a beautiful as it was sentimental. Although we love to photograph details, we love documenting heartfelt moments the most. Every wedding we photograph is an honor to us, and we couldn’t be more grateful to have been part of their big day. Congratulations to the lovely couple, we wish you so much love and a lifetime of happiness!
