👉 Real Wedding in Temecula: Alyssa & Kevin at Europa Village Winery
đź’Ť Getting Ready at the Villas
The day began at the villas within Europa Village. Kevin shared a quiet moment with his dad, while Alyssa got ready with her closest friends and a few mimosas. The mood was relaxed — exactly what you want before a big day.
🌿 First Look Among the Vines
They saw each other for the first time just outside the bridal suite. That moment, wrapped in golden summer light and surrounded by vineyards, set the tone for everything that followed.
💒 Ceremony at C’est La Vie Garden
Surrounded by vineyards and California sun, Alyssa & Kevin exchanged vows in the garden of Europa Village. The heat was real, but so was the love — and the views made every minute worth it. A heartfelt ceremony, raw and beautiful, just the way it should be.”
🌿 Family Portraits in the Garden
After the ceremony, we took a few minutes for family portraits in the same beautiful garden. These images always hold a special weight — parents, siblings… the people who’ve been there since day one, all together in one frame.
📸 Golden Hour Portraits
While guests enjoyed cocktail hour, we took a stroll with the couple for some golden hour portraits. Natural, romantic, and totally them — these are the kind of photos that age like wine.
🥂 Dinner Under the Lights
The reception took place outdoors, with long tables, string lights, and heartfelt toasts. One of our favorite parts? Alyssa’s dad gave a speech that had the entire room cheering, crying, and everything in between.
🎉 Candid Moments & Party Vibes
After the speeches, the party took off — and it didn’t slow down. Alyssa & Kevin spent the rest of the night exactly how you’d hope: laughing, catching up with loved ones, hopping into group photos, and soaking in every hug and conversation.
Â
It was the kind of reception where time slips away, but the memories (and the photos) stay with you forever.
