So much I could say about this Truffle Pig Winery wedding in Temecula, CA, so where do I even begin? From the moment I met Shannon and Austin at their engagement session last fall, they were an absolute joy to photograph. They are one of those couples that you can truly tell are in love. The type of love that comes easily and naturally. From their special “first touch” and prayer with tears from both, I immediately knew that this was going to be a memorable wedding.

Having never photographed at Truffle Pig Winery before, I loved every inch of it. From the getting ready villa for the bride to the gorgeous ceremony site, it truly is a picture perfect wedding venue. Once we were done with the formal portraits, the bride and groom and I snuck out to the vineyards for sunset. There, we were able to capture some pretty epic golden hour shots! The reception area is just as beautiful. Check out how their amazing florist used greenery within the indoor space!

I am truly obsessed with these images! I hope you love these highlights from this Truffle Pig Winery wedding!

A clean, well-lit space makes for beautiful prep photos
