Temecula Hilltop Villa Wedding | Caitlyn+Victor

March 17, 2023

Not quite spring, not quite sunny, all beautiful. This Jewish-Brazilian Wedding was filled with delightful traditions, including some I had never seen (wow).

With their original wedding plans derailed…a 2020 wedding right-of-passage, they were forced to ‘relocate’ their wedding from Los Osos, to Temecula. They still managed to grab a venue with sweeping views and set the table with delight, incredible people (and flowers).

Exactly as it was supposed to be, exactly.

The concept of celebrating your 40th birthday by inviting 20 of your closest, quirkiest couple friends to gather together and dress in the theme of their chosen hotel room is nothing short of brilliant. Aslo brilliant: doing it all at the Madonna Inn ;). Congrats on being legends, Renee & Chris! And Happy Valentine’s Day…if you’re into that? @madonnainn1958 @madonnainnevents ~ if you have any interest in seeing more from this shoot and the MadonnaInn, find the link to my blog in my profile!

441

That’s how many weddings I just counted—441 weddings I’ve had the pleasure of capturing. All time.

Starting in 2008, that’s an average of 26 weddings per year! Wow. Yes, that includes elopements. However, I’ve also calculated that, on average, I spend about six hours capturing each wedding.

For all of you who love numbers, this one’s for you. And here’s a big one:

500.

For a long time, I had the number 500 in mind—like, “After 500, I’m out!”

At the rate I’ve been going for the last five years, I’ll hit 500 by the end of 2026.

Spoiler: I’m not retiring in 2027. That’d be no fun. So maybe 2037? I’ll lay down my camera, and I’ll…
