When my husband and I were dating, we would drive the hour and a half down south to Temecula every once in a while to enjoy the great wineries. We loved how much smaller and quieter the wineries were there in comparison to the sometimes pretentious ones up north in Napa and Sonoma. It was fun, easy and everyone was always so nice and excited to talk about wine! We've sinced moved out of state, but man, I still miss those days sometimes!

It seems as though many couples appreciate the beauty of Temecula, California, because I seem to come across gorgeous weddings and engagement shoots from there all the time! Rich and Jessica's engagement shoot, photographed by the Temecula Wedding Photographer , Rock This Moment Photography, is a great example of what this beautiful place has to offer! Mainly shot at Baily Winery and Falkner Winery , these photos showcase the simple romance of Temecula with sun-ripened grape vines and a California sunset.
