Kristin and Demir met at a mutual friend’s wine tasting party. They both share a passion for great wine, so when they started their wedding planning it was only natural that they chose South Coast Winery and Resort in Temecula, California as the location for their wedding ceremony and reception. If you haven’t read my profile page, or been following my twitter and are not my foursquare friend I’ll forgive you for not knowing how much I enjoy a good glass (read bottle) of wine, and how frequently I make escapes to Temecula to visit my favorite wineries. South Coast is definitely on that list of great locations to stop & one of the few places in Temecula to stay. Their grounds are beautiful, and the rose arbor where Kristin and Demir were married is beautiful; overlooking the vineyards of South Coast, Ponte Wineries & Temecula Valley.
Kristin and her girls got ready in one of the beautiful villas just two doors down from the ceremony site at South Coast Winery and Resort. They had an enormous two room villa with a center foyer area that allowed enough room for all her girls, makeup artists, and hair stylists to get ready in one location. After getting ready, Kristin’s father met her at the villa where they walked the short distance to the ceremony site, and straight up the aisle to a waiting and emotional Demir. After the ceremony we took portraits in the waning light of the day before heading to the courtyard for their reception. Kristin’s Aunt gave a beautiful toast and a surprise serenade was performed boy band style during dinner. (You’ll have to check out the podcast for a few images from that part of the night!)
It was a perfect day and beautiful night! Kristin and Demir were so much fun! Check out just a few of the images below, and again, pop over to the podcast to see a slideshow with more images from their awesome wedding at South Coast Winery and Resort in Temecula!
