Marilyn & Fernando were married on a beautiful day at Wilson Creek Winery. When Marissa asked if I would drive down to Temecula to 2nd shoot with her I was absolutely giddy, because 1. Now that my friend lives sooooo far away from me in Hawaii I love any chance I get to see her and 2. I have *always* wanted to shoot a wedding at a winery!! So this day was, of course, absolute perfection. 😀

Marilyn & Fernando decided to see each other before the ceremony so they could enjoy some time alone AND so we could get all of the formal portraits done before the ceremony. LOVE!

The sun was setting during there reception and it was the most magical lighting! That is, until we went in to the vineyard for their portraits! 😀

As soon as the ceremony ended we headed straight to the vineyard to catch the last glimpses of sunlight. Talk about magical!!!

Oh the sun flare. My heart. ♥

For the last few minutes of light we walked up to the road about the vineyard. I can’t get enough of this light or these pictures! I wish the sun always looked like this!! This marine layer 24/7 weather we’ve been having is making me crazy if you can’t tell. ;]
