{Temecula Creek Inn Wedding Photography} Allan + Nini

I was invited to second-shoot this wedding with the wonderful Courtney Allison of Fairy Tale Creations Photography in Temecula. Click the link and check out her blog to see more of this gorgeous wedding.
This wedding was unbelievably beautiful. The details were awesome and the venue absolutely perfect. Not to mention, Nini was stunning. Seriously stunning. She has an incredible sense of style and such a graceful and modest beauty about her. And Allan is maybe the friendliest person ever. I knew we were going to get along the second I met him because he's hilarious.
I had a feeling it was going to be a great wedding. And it exceeded all of my expectations. The food was catered by Temecula Creek Inn and it was AH-MAZ-ZING. The music blew me away. It was provided by Brian Stodart. He has such amazing talent. Really, I was floored. The flowers were absolutely lovely and done by MFG Floral
Pastor Charlie was wonderful and went the extra mile by actually talking to Courtney and me before the ceremony about what exactly he was going to do and when to get the best shots. And all this couldn't have come together so beautifully without Suzanne Apodaca from De Mae Su Event Coordinators.
The evening was relaxing and classy and everything a wedding should be. The dancing that ended the night was the icing on the cake and every single guest was on that floor celebrating Nini and Allan's union.
I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I did taking them and then reliving it all again while editing.

Hollie and Jose {Temecula Wedding Photographer}

I was able to do some second-shooting yet again with the wonderful Courtney Allison of Fairy Tale Creations Photography in Temecula, Ca this last Saturday. Jose and Hollie's wedding was beautiful and elegant and we had a great time working with them and the rest of the wedding party (who cooperated once I whipped out my guns and showed those groomsmen how I was going to handle them Texas-style if they didn't shape up :)
We had an awesome time. Thank you, Jose and Hollie for letting me be a part of your wedding day!
