Marisa & Brandon Galway Downs Wedding Day

Marisa and Brandon’s wedding at Galway Downs in Temecula is one of that will stick with me. Located near wine country, this venue is part horse racing facility, part garden oasis — and it made for the most incredible backdrop for their big day.

The weather couldn’t have been more perfect. Spring was showing off with golden sunlight, blooming flowers, and a warm breeze that added a little magic to every moment. Marisa and Brandon chose to have an intimate ceremony surrounded by their closest family and friends, followed by a big reception with all of their loved ones — and yes, their pups were part of the celebration too (which I loved capturing)!

It was such a joy to document this day for Marisa and Brandon — from the quiet moments to the full dance floor chaos, it was the kind of night where you can truly feel how in love, and how loved a couple is. Every detail came together so beautifully, and I’m honored I got to be there to tell the story.
