Amanda + Brandon Married | Villa De Amore Wedding Photos

Amanda and Brandon waited over a year to have their Villa De Amore wedding photos taken. Amanda started following me about two years ago after I shot her hairdressers wedding and had messaged me even before she was engaged to schedule a shoot. Things didn’t quite pan out but their was a reason for that because last August she contacted me that she was engaged and already knew I HAD to shoot her legacy. I just love clients who love me hehe. I will always remember Amanda emailed me while I was at the Taylor Swift concert in LA and I couldn’t wait to get home to email her back to find out more about her big day. They literally had just gotten engaged and hadn’t booked their venue yet but the second they did we met up.

Amanda and Brandon tied the knot at Villa De Amore in Temecula and I have to say it may just be my new favorite venue, the bridal suite, ceremony space and the light during golden hour on the vineyard were TO DIE FOR! And to top it off the coordinator Laura was such a sweetheart and really made sure my couple had what they needed. I love when my couples do first looks because it really helps the day not be as stressful for them. We are able to get all the wedding party portraits and even sometimes family portraits done before the ceremony. This way after you can mingle with guests during cocktail hour, take more photos or wait until sunset to grab more without feeling like you are leaving your guest behind. I highly encourage my couples to do first looks, it also helps with nerves. Some of my brides want to wait because they want that epic photo of the groom getting emotional walking down the aisle but I tell you 9/10 grooms still cry when you walk down the aisle even if they have already seen you. The music, your friends and family and you walking towards him create a whole new feeling he probably wasn’t expecting. And if your groom is anything like Ryan he may not show emotion in front of all his family and friends but he will in front of just you and the camera!!! I hope you enjoy all the beautiful photos from Amanda and Brandon’s Villa De Amore wedding. Congrats you two! XOXO
