GALWAY DOWNS WEDDING TEMECULA CALIFORNIA ALEXA + STEPHEYNE

When Stepheyne first contacted me over a year ago, she had already had her dream venue picked out. I was thrilled that she was so far ahead of the game already and this meant that she was pretty serious about planning her day. I hadn’t had the opportunity to photograph a wedding at Galway downs before, so I was so excited that we were going to be able to see every inch of Galway’s beautiful property.

When we arrived, we were immediately taken back by the gorgeous florals hanging from the ceiling. They were everywhere! What would typically be drapery from the ceiling was now replaced by hanging florals. There was no shortage of beautiful details the rest of the day, and the amount of love from both sides of their family filled the room.

When these ladies read their vows to each other, I was truly blown away by the amount of genuine, loving and kind words they had for one another. They were truly from their hearts and something that I really admire.

They danced and drank the night away in true wedding fashion, complete with a character artist and an ice cream truck that made custom cookie- ice cream sandwiches! 

Thank you both so much for letting us into your lives. You were both so patient and kind every step of the way, and we wish you so much happiness. Oh, did I mention they are currently in Italy?! I hope you both are soaking up the great food, wine, and scenery that beautiful Italy country has to offer!
