With sweeping vineyard views, a romantic ambiance and plenty of picture spots, it is no wonder that Mount Palomar Winery in Temecula, CA is one of our favorite venues to photograph a wedding at!

I have had the privilege to photograph weddings at Mount Palomar Winery in Temecula, CA for over 6 years now, and it is still one of my favorite places to work! MPW has so many positives to consider and if you are currently looking for your wedding venue, then I recommend booking a tour here to see if it might be the right spot for you!

Here are a few key reasons we love this venue!

• There are unlimited areas ideal for picture taking. I cannot even count how many weddings myself/AM Studios have captured at MPW over the years, but I can tell you, no two weddings look the same. The property is huge and is so beautifully landscaped that while we do have our favorite spots to photograph at, we are always uncovering a new spot or angle to shoot at too!
• They can accommodate weddings of all sizes! With the option of a large romantic outdoor wedding under warm market lights, or a more intimate indoor setting in their barrel room (though I think their barrel room can accommodate up to 75-100 guests) you have options that can be tailored to your guest count.
• The staff is warm, friendly and goes above and beyond. I cannot tell you how many moments of service excellence I have witnessed as a wedding vendor at this venue. The entire staff really goes out of their way to make sure everyone has a 5 star experience. For your event planning, Shellie and her team are with you every step of the way, which I know is a huge stress relief when planning for your special day.
• The views at your ceremony. There are not many places that I have worked or attended a wedding at that offers a panoramic mountain backdrop with sweeping vineyard views. So not only is their ceremony site beautiful in its natural state (and ahem…less costs on decorating!), but it also comes with views!
• They offer catering and a list of recommended vendors (us included!). It is always helpful narrowing your hunt for the right vendors when your venue can confidently recommend professionals who not only know what they are doing, but also know the venue you’ve chosen to host your wedding. From a photographer’s perspective…fresh eyes at a venue is great, but it is also unbeatable to know a location like the back of your hand…because you know what that means!? We know where all of the best photo ops are!
• You have a curated list of delicious Mount Palomar Winery wines to serve at your event.

This list should provide you with great insight as to why this might be a great option for your wedding! And if my words don’t convince you, then maybe our photos will. 🙂
