Temecula Wedding Photographer: Amanda and Richie

Picture this: you’re hiking to Machu Picchu with your boyfriend and 30 of your closest new friends as part of a tour group.  Tour group makes it sound like you were just kicking it in the back of a bus but no, you have been hiking for days.  Through sun, rain, everything, you are hiking hiking hiking and camping at night.  Richie knew he was going to propose on this trip and had told a couple of other people on the tour he was going to as well.  When Amanda and Richie completed their multi-day hike, Richie handed off his camera to a fellow traveler, knelt down, and proposed to Amanda.  To say she was shocked was an understatement!

A sense of adventure follows Amanda and Richie wherever they go.  They are up for a new hike, a new camping trip, a new experience.  But they are clearly each other’s home base as well.  They just go together. And so, on a stunningly perfect day in June, Amanda and Richie exchanged vows at Lake Oak Meadows in Temecula.  Amanda arrived in a horse drawn carriage, absolutely beaming with excitement to marry her groom.   The two of them and their guests partied well into the night… the most I had seen people stick around on a Sunday evening wedding! You can tell no one wanted to leave!

Congratulations Amanda and Richie! Thank you SO much for letting me be a small part of your grand adventure.
