Photographing Maggie & CJ's wedding was truly such an honor and it was SO fun to work with the both of them! They got married in Temecula at the Lorimar Winery, and it was such great sunny weather for their wedding. We started the day with getting ready photos with Maggie in her bridal suite. It was so nice to meet the other bridesmaids and family members that were so excited for Maggie, and we even got to do flat lay photos while Maggie was getting ready. Once she was dressed and ready to go, we did the first touch with CJ. It was such a special moment to be able to capture that for them.


We then moved on to the ceremony which took place in the vineyards, and it was seriously incredible. CJ's reaction to seeing Maggie come down the aisle was so special to photograph! Their friends and family were so excited for them and the officiant did such a good job conducting the whole ceremony. There were vows and rings were exchanged, and there little to no dry eyes. They then shared their first kiss in front of everyone, and then exited the ceremony with everyone cheering. After the ceremony was over, everyone started congratulating them and then we started on the group photos. I like to start with the big group family photos, and then I work down from there to smaller groups, and then eventually just the bride and groom. Maggie & CJ had some of the best light that I've had during family photos and even during their bridal party photos and their portraits, it was SO pretty.


After photos were over, we moved into the reception and dinner portion of the night. Their reception was decorated so beautifully and it had some of the prettiest views around. 10/10. We then ate dinner and then started the toasts section of the night. It was so fun to hear funny stories from family members and friends about Maggie & CJ, you could just tell how loved they really are and how happy everyone was for them. We then transitioned into first dances and the dance party, and this dance party was one of the funnest ones I had done in a long time. Everyone was just so hyped to be there and even their cake cutting was so fun with everyone watching. They ended the night with a bubble send off and the flash photos from it are some of my fav. I loved shooting this wedding and I'm so honored I was able to capture some of the happiest moments for Maggie & CJ!
