What a beautiful evening in Temecula it was for capturing Valerie and Nathan’s engagement photos. They chose the Monte De Oro Winery as the setting. After some wine tasting we headed out to their gorgeous vineyard to start the engagement photography.

The end of summer is great for this, because the vines are really lush and green still and the grapes are ripe and still hanging on the vines! We had a blast walking around capturing creative pictures of them just being themselves and smiling! Valerie was awesome at hiking around in her heels, she’s got skills in those heels!

I could tell Shane knows he is a very blessed man to have found his true love. He was a good sport the entire time, and when we wanted to take a few more shots after the sun went down and our time was up, he was still smiling! It was a real pleasure capturing their engagement photographs at Monte de Oro Temecula Winery.

I love being a Photographer in Temecula. The weather is awesome practically year round, which means I can always go outside and do what I love! Having Temecula Wine Country literally in my backyard is awesome. and so convenient.
