Carina and James, Married at Ponte Winery, Temecula Ca

On Jan 2nd, I had the honor of photographing my first wedding of 2010 at Ponte Winery, located in the Temecula Valley Wine Country.  Carina and James married in the afternoon overlooking the beautiful winter vineyards back-dropped with snow capped mountains in the distance.  The weather was absolutely perfect, and the folks at Ponte performed their craft with excellent professionalism.  I had such a good time getting to know Carina and James and their families.  Here's a few teaser pics.  Drop a line if you like!

These next two shots were taken using pocketwizard radios and off-camera flash placed on the floor behind them and pointing up at 45 degrees.  I had the flash on manual and +1 to make it really strong for effect.  I'm proud to be listed on pocketwizard's "Inspirations" page of their website.
