Min & John’s SneakPeek

Min & John's wedding at Villa de Amore - Temecula Weddings, was the "hottest" wedding of the year! Everything was absolutely beautiful and the bride was most definitely "hot"! However, when I said it was the "hottest wedding of the year", I was really referring to the weather. I thought more than once, that day, I would pass out from heat exhaustion and dehydration. Thank goodness we made it without incident and with the exception of the extreme temperature that day, everything was perfect and a good time was had by all their guests. Enjoy a "Sneak Peek" of a few images from Min & John's wedding. More to follow soon!

Gaby & Brian

There are some couples that we meet and instantly click with them. That is exactly what happened when we first met with Gaby & Brian! Gaby has an energy that is fun and contagious and Brian is so relaxed and up for anything. We just knew that working with them was going to be oh so fun and . . . it was! They chose one of our favorite spots, Balboa Park in San Diego, to be the backdrop for their engagement photos.

Amy & Tony

Amy was such a stunning and gorgeous bride! What a beautiful couple she and Tony are - inside and out! Amy is so vivacious and she never stopped smiling all day. I just couldn’t help but feel happy, just being around her. Tony is so sweet with a sincere love for Amy that is so obvious, every time he talks about her or looks at her.

They were married at the beautiful Cross Creek Golf Club in Temecula. (Love this venue!) Their day, from beginning to end, was perfect. Their family and friends were awesome and the amount of love that was present that day was immeasurable.

Jessica and Austin are truly two of the kindest, sweetest and most sincere people I have ever met. They have so much respect for each other and are so madly in love with each other. I could photograph them all day and still want to do more!

What a beautiful day it was for Rita & Mark to say "I do!" and I am so happy that is was because Rita, Mark and all their guests came all the way from Kansas City, for them to be married at the beautiful Villa de Amore in Temecula. Rita & Mark are an incredibly sweet (not to mention - so in love) couple and I felt so honored that they chose Captured Moments Photography to photograph their fabulous wedding.

We have the privilege of meeting some of the most amazing couples and then we get to celebrate their wedding day with them and be the ones capturing precious moments! It’s quite an honor!!!

Tiffany & Michael are such a perfect example of couples that we adore working with. Their energy and excitement is contagious and their love is so genuine.

Tiffany & Michael, we just love you two! We feel so honored that we were the ones you chose to be there to photograph your wedding! Enjoy reliving your day through this slideshow post!!

Ashley & Mark

2013-06-19T15:30:00.001-07:00

Ashley & Mark are Married!

If this post look familiar to you, that’s probably because it’s not exactly new and you have most likely seen it before. Ashley and Mark were actually married November 2012 and we originally posted this video a couple of months ago, but something strange happened to our blog (that I have yet to figure out) but their slideshow just disappeared, as in gone! No one else’s slideshow is missing - just their’s! So I thought it would be best to re-post. Ashley & Mark, you weren’t deleted, but just an unfortunate accidental mishap.

That being said . . . Ashley & Mark are such an incredibly fun, fun couple whom, I believe, are truly made for each other. They are always laughing and just enjoying every minute they are together.

They were married at the breathtaking Villa de Amore, nestled among the vineyards and wineries, in Temecula’s wine country. Their day was so perfect and I must say, I loved her autumn colors. Check out Ashley’s bouquet! I Loved all their flowers!

Ashley & Mark, thank you for allowing Captured Moments Photography, to capture your moments. We do hope you enjoy this re-post of your wedding day slideshow.

Janet & Kenny

2013-05-01T14:08:00.001-07:00

Wedding Bells Ring for Janet & Kenny

If there were ever two soul-mates who were destined to find each other, I believe it

was Janet and Kenny! They are so perfect for each other and watching these two

souls commit to being best friends forever, is a powerful and awesome thing to

witness, as I was so privileged to do and to photograph it all! Lucky, lucky me!

Yes, I do believe Janet and Kenny were meant to find each other and to spend the

rest of their lives loving one another. That was obvious at our first meeting and

even more evident when I photographed their engagement session. We started

their session at the UC Irvine campus, where they first met while they were both

attending there and ended up at the beach in Corona del Mar. If you haven’t

already, I encourage you to go into the client galleries, on my website, and look at

their engagement photos. They are so sweet and romantic, as they are!

As their wedding day concluded, I left with my heart full of joy. Maybe it was the

amazing couple, maybe it was the incredible venue . . . or maybe it was just pure

happiness that comes from doing something that you love! Janet and Kenny, I was

so honored to be a part of this celebration.

Thank you so much for choosing Captured Moments Photography to photograph your lovely wedding. Enjoy your slideshow!

Emily & Jeremy's Wedding Day

2013-04-23T17:35:00.001-07:00

Emily & Jeremy Take Vows

What a perfect day and a perfect setting for a wedding! Emily & Jeremy were married at Sea Cliff Country Club in Huntington Beach, California. The weather was perfect with plenty of nice warm sunshine, to help make the day full of joy and gorgeousness for Emily & Jeremy. They did a “First Look” prior to the ceremony. I loved it when Emily came up behind Jeremy and tapped him on his shoulder. Jeremy turned to look at her and his smile was so big that it took over his entire face! And what a beautiful sight she was! Exquisite was the best way to describe Emily on her wedding day! And with Jeremy so handsome, what a beautiful pair they make!

For the reception, they hired a live band - A real live band! When the band started playing, the real fun began. Let me tell you . . . Emily, Jeremy and all their family and friends, really know how to have a good time!!! Big smiles, a lot of laughter and fun, fun, fun was had by all! Thank you, Emily and Jeremy for choosing Captured Moments Photography to capture the moments of your wedding day. Enjoy your slideshow!

Joy & Scott's Wedding Day

2013-04-21T18:03:00.001-07:00

Joy & Scott Are Wed!

The name fits the bride! This lady is such a “joy” to be around! I don’t think I know another human being who’s personality is a sweet, kind and gracious as Joy’s personality. Upon meeting her, you instantly love her.

I first met Joy, when she contacted Melissa and I to photograph her wedding. But I got to know her when she sent me an email that she was interested in working for me, as an assistant, editor or pretty much what ever I needed. And get this . . . she was willing to work for free!!! She had already taken several photography classes at MSJC and had obtained her photographer’s certification through the college. (And she was willing to work for free???) Joy is so passionate about photography that she just wanted to get hands on experience and didn’t care about compensation. As tempting as that was, I couldn’t take advantage of her generousity and I hired her with pay. By doing so, I not only got an amazing editor but a valued friendship, as well.

Then she introduced us to her fiance, Scott and his daughter, Malia. Not only is Scott incredibly handsome but he is the such a great guy. It is so obvious the love and respect that they have for each other. They are so much fun to be around. Malia is not only adorable and sweet but oh so percocious. Together they make an amazing family!

Their wedding day was perfect. Joy had planned everything so beautifully right down to the last detail. The day went off without a hitch. Joy looked so beautifully elegant that day and I don’t believe a groom ever looked better in a tux than Scott. Melissa and I were so honored to photograph this wedding. When you take a look at their slideshow and their images, we are sure you will agree.

Joy and Scott, we wish you a lifetime of “JOY”, love and much happiness! Enjoy your slideshow!

Kristyn & Stephen

2013-03-15T15:42:00.001-07:00

Kristyn & Stephen Got Hitched!

I have known Kristyn since she was 5 years old. Her mother, Martha, is one of my very bestest and closest friends. I have watched this precious and precocious child grow into the beautiful and wise young woman, that she is today. I was so excited when her mom asked me to photograph her wedding. She told me all about this wonderful man that her baby girl, had met and fell in love with, named Stephen. She was so pleased that her daughter had met the man of her dreams and that they were planning their lives together. When I met Stephen, I understood why she approved and loved him so much. Stephen is a great and very loveable guy! Always smiling, always laughing . . . (sometimes too much, when I was going for a more serious, romantic feel between the two of them!)

They chose to marry in beautiful San Diego, California. The day was perfect. The sun was out but the temperature was pleasantly cool. They couldn’t have asked for a lovelier day to pledge their love and start their new lives together.

Kristyn and Stephen, congratulations and thank you so much for allowing Captured Moments Photography to share this memorable day with you and preserve all those special moments for you and your families.

We hope you enjoy the slideshow, that we put together of a few of our favorite moments of your wedding day!
