South Coast Winery Wedding Photographer

Rich and Kurra are perfect for each other, and I couldn't have been more excited to capture their wedding day in Temecula. As a South Coast Winery Wedding Photographer this was the kind of wedding that I live for! Two beautiful people, tieing the knot at one of the top wedding venues in Temecula!

[ more photographs below…]
Kurra has the heart of an angel and trusted me completely with capturing her wedding photos. That's when my clients get my best; when they trust my vision and let me do my thing. When I walked into her suite for the getting ready pictures, the first thing she did was offer me some pizza!!! It just blows me away at how blessed I am to have the best clients in the world!
Speaking of pizza the groom was Italian, and the family made this a very FUN wedding! I'm also part Italian, well you probably knew that from “Anibaldi”, and I just feel like I am at home in that type of culture. That probably sounds as corny as an Olive Garden commercial but its true. Holidays during my childhood were filled with loud aunts and uncles who wore their hearts on their sleeves. The NY accents and all the hugs and kisses and lots and lots of jokes, everyone was always smiling!
Anyways, back to the wedding story… Rich’s uncle married him and Kurra and the weather was perfect! September is a great month for a wedding in Temecula. It seemed like every guest at the wedding had two cameras! It was so cool, everyone wanted a picture with the newly married couple! My favorite part of the whole day was probably the reception though. The Mike and Brian Duo were awesome live! They play a lot at the Temecula Wineries so you may see them around here on the weekends. The dancing was incredible and such a blast to watch and capture! The kids dancing, the groomsmen picking up the bride, Rich dancing with a guy friend during the money dance, it was all classic!
I hope you enjoy the photos below! If you like them please become a fan of Anibaldi Photography on Facebook

Intimate Temecula Wedding | Photography by Anibaldi Studio

With every photography opportunity I get in Temecula, the more and more this place grows on me. This past weekend I got to capture an intimate wedding at the grooms personal estate. It was a hot summer day and you could here the bees buzzing and the trees blowing in the breeze that visits Temecula every day. The DJ was wearing flip flops and playing some Iz, and I have a hunch his water bottle was filled with a mai tai! ;) But the combination of the elements, had me falling in love with the comfortable atmosphere here in Temecula. If you are looking for a professional wedding photographer in Temecula I hope you will consider me.

The wedding was great, and there were so many special moments that I was able to capture. In fact, my challenge with this wedding was to capture candids… only! Yes the bride and groom don't like pictures or the pressure and time it takes creating them. So I was hired to take photos by someone who doesn't like photos! One reason I call Wedding Photographs an investment is because their value grow in time. Obviously, the day after your wedding you remember almost everything, however 10 years later you begin to rely on your pictures quite a bit more. So I think through the years the bride and groom will be happier and happier they decided to have a photographer at their wedding.

The wedding was planned and Coordinated by Becca. She was amazing! She had some great help too, including Kelly and Cindi who did a fantastic job with setting and making everything run so smoothly. The food was exceptional and I loved the heirloom tomatoes Cindi had me try. Honestly though, I think I would eat anything with mozzarella cheese on it! Oh yeah, and of course the Hair! My friend Holly did an amazing job too!

Twin Oaks House and Gardens Wedding Pictures

Ashley and Colin's summer wedding was a pleasure to photograph. What a beautiful venue the Twin Oaks House and Garden’s is. The flowers were all in bloom, the skys were blue, and the bride and groom were all smiles! When your clients trust you to capture their day with style, it makes being a San Diego Wedding Photographer very enjoyable.

What stood out to me at this wedding, was the great atmosphere. Maybe, I was in my own world or maybe it was the open bar ;) but it seemed like everyone was really enjoying themselves and werent afraid to break out of their shells. From people waving at me during the ceremony, when the camera was pointed in their direction to the dance floor during the chicken dance, everyone was having the time of their lives. My wife says that Ashley's dress was perfect for her and the wedding. It was obvious that a lot of thought went into the details, and that she had been dreaming of this day for a longtime. Im so glad everything turned out just as she had hoped, praise the Lord!

My favorite part of this wedding was capturing the candid shots of their first dance. The tent and chandeliers at the Twin Oaks House and Gardens make for a great background, and I had fun getting creative with the available light. Enough said, enjoy the wedding photographs captured at the Twin Oaks House and Gardens. Oh yeah and a tip of my hat to some of the vendors that I thought did great including the the cake designer and the caterer. The DJ really stood out… he did an exceptional job. John Gillon from Events by Design was flawless, great audio during the ceremony and fun music during the reception.
