This engagement photography session at Long Shadow Ranch in Temecula wine country was destined for gorgeous photos. What more can a photographer ask for than a beautiful setting and a beautiful couple that is so excited to get married! Cory and Erica have known each other for a long time, but just recently got engaged.

Cory will be deploying in the spring, and rather than wait more than a year to get married they decided to tie the knot before he leaves. I think that is a great decision, there is no reason to wait. When the right person comes around and you feel that its right, go for it. Its one of those things that you feel in your gut and you don’t have a second thought about it. Cory and Erica are a perfect match.

Long Shadow Ranch was a great setting for their engagement session. Its winter and the vines still have the leaves with all those red, orange and green fall colors! It actually started to rain right before we were finished. In some of the photos when you zoom in you can see little streaks of small rain drops! Long Shadow has amazing wine and I highly recommend going tasting there sometime. In fact, they also have live bands play there a lot. Plan a day to come out and I guarantee you wont regret it!
