Temecula Creek Inn Wedding

Madison + Joe

This Halloween wedding at Temecula Creek Inn will have you swooning. It was decorated with pumpkins galore, there was a large table of yummy sweets to fill your Halloween sweet tooth! The entire event was spectacular. There was even a big surprise that was revealed with the ode to Phantom of the Opera complete with masks and a choreographed dance by the bride and groom to the theme song from the play that was just riveting. Everyone loved the “funkins”, the flowers and the bride’s fabulous dress, swoon… the back of that dresswas to die for. Madison and Joe thought of every detail to make this Temecula Creeek Inn Hallowed wedding perfect. There was even an old time TV playing old horror movies which were the hit of the night and all the fantastic furniture inside the Temecula Creek Inn’s famous Stonehouse was so charming. Mark and I loved working with Madison and Joe and creating such gorgeous wedding photos for them. They are so sweet and so full of love and life and we look forward to watching their future grow. A special thanks to Celebrations by Di for referring us to this wonderful couple. We loved working with Diana Ross and her team, they are truly the best! We hope this couple Tangos their way into the future with many little phantoms of their own.

This Doubletree by Hilton Claremont wedding was so much fun. Briana and Eric are so sweet. I fell in love with Briana the moment I met her. That smile of hers just melts your heart and speaking of hearts, Briana has the biggest heart and I know that is why Eric fell head over heels in love with her. This couple chose one of my favorite Claremont venues to hold their wedding and reception. The Doubletree by Hilton Claremont has everything you need to have an amazing wedding experience. The courtyard and fountain are beautiful for your ceremony and the banquet rooms are spacious and well desinged. Bonus you get to have the amazing Doubletree staff to handle all of your needs.
