Karina and Donald wanted a wedding that felt true to them, so they chose to elope in beautiful St. Lucia before celebrating with the people they love most. Their intimate destination wedding gave them the chance to exchange vows in paradise without the stress of a large wedding day. After returning home, they planned the ultimate surprise wedding in Temecula, inviting their family and friends to what everyone thought was just an engagement party. The biggest surprise came when they shared that they were already married and stood together to reshare the vows they had exchanged in St. Lucia in front of their family and friends. There was not a dry eye in the room as everyone celebrated this special moment together.
If you are dreaming of a Temecula wedding, a St. Lucia elopement, or a celebration that is completely your own, Karina and Donald’s story is proof that there is no right or wrong way to get married. Whether you are planning a Temecula winery wedding, an intimate California elopement, or a destination wedding followed by a reception at home, your day should reflect your relationship. If you’re looking for a Temecula wedding photographer to capture every genuine moment, I’d love to be part of your day
