Couple shares first kiss at outdoor wedding ceremony under floral arch with guests and officiant.

Lorimar winery is one of the top Temecula wedding venues just located off Rancho California road. The rolling vineyards and lush orange groves make for the perfect California vibe wedding day. Lorimar is one of our top venues that we get referred by. We love shooting and Temecula wedding coordinator here!

The day started with a chill vibe as we captured the bride’s details and photographed the groom with his groomsmen. We then found a private spot for the first look under the shaded gardens near the tasting room, close to the bridal suite. It was the perfect setting for intimate wedding photography, allowing us to document those genuine, emotional moments in a relaxed and beautiful atmosphere.
