Sandra & Gene :: 4-6-14 :: Wedding in Temecula

Sandra and Gene had such a wonderful wedding day that was perfectly unique to them and their favorite things! Sandra works for the Navy, they are both lovers of the beach, and Sandra was reminded of her home country of Portugal by the beautiful wine country of Temecula, so it made sense for them to have a nautical-themed wedding at a winery! Their venue, South Coast Winery, is a large, busy wedding venue with several weddings happening at once. Despite the expansive venue, Sandra and Gene's wedding felt intimate, sweet, and all about them, as if they were the only ones in the world getting married :) The day began at one of the villas where Sandra and her girls were getting ready close to where the ceremony would take place. Sandra got ready with her matron of honor, her mom, her two daughters, and Gene's daughter. After the primping and prepping, she donned her dress and jewelry and the ceremony was set to begin. Sandra and Gene exchanged vows and rings under the beautiful Rose Arbor, toasted their marriage with some red wine, and then shared a hilarious first kiss. After some fun bridal party and family photos, we headed to the vineyards for some beautiful light and scenery for Sandra and Gene's photos together. You can really see how much these two love one another, laughter, and enjoying life :) Their reception was held in the beautiful Gold Room where the walls are lined with wine barrels and golden lights. After dinner and toasts, one of the guests serenaded the newlyweds with a beautiful song and the couple enjoyed their first dance. After some fun dancing, it was cake time :) Sandra and Gene's wedding date happens to be the date they got engaged and Gene's birthday, so there were actually two cakes that day! After the beautiful wedding cake was cut, everyone gathered around to sing happy birthday to Gene. We are honored to have been a part of their beautiful day!
