Friday, April 27th had Loren and Annie at St. Catherine’s of Alexandria church in Temecula and then Wedgewood Banquet and Wedding Trilogy Golf Club in Corona to document the wedding ceremony and reception of Ximena Jimenez and David Navarrete. We’re still finalizing Ximena and David’s final collection of images, so for now, here’s a little sneak peek! Look for more images soon.

To pre-register to see [...]

We always feel a great sense of accomplishment whenever we receive a nice “Thank You” note or a really awesome online testimonial from our couples. But yesterday, we received one of the most special “Thank-You’s” we’ve ever had the pleasure of receiving, and we were so excited that we wanted to share it on our blog!

Kerri and Eric Novikoff, married April 13, 2012 (Friday the [...]

Friday the 13th is supposed to bring bad luck. Yet, I have heard it said that rain on your wedding is supposed to be good luck. Try explaining that to a bride when she’s trying to put on her makeup and the storm has just cut the power to the building. A lesser woman may have let that get her in a funk, but Kerri [...]

On Saturday, March 24th, I drove all the way to Malibu to a beautiful hillside estate to photograph the wedding of Marie Shanks and Michael McCreary. Marie and Michael live in Hawaii. So, the first time I actually met them was when I arrived on the property for the wedding. But, being from Hawaii, they were typically laid back and extremely easy-going the whole day [...]

On Saturday February 4th, 2012 we were at the Wedgewood Wedding and Banquet Center in Fallbrook to document the wedding of Jill Liggett and Aaron Maurice. Although many of our recent couples have elected to do a “First Look”, they did not want to see each other prior to the ceremony. Yet, they did want to exchange personal handwritten messages to each other, which they [...]

Any time of year is a good time of year to get married in Southern California. And, although the vines were bare, Saturday, January 14th was a very good day to get married at Wiens Family Cellars! The weather was calm and the temperature was perfect as Greer Wayland and Scott Sheldon said, “I Do” just before sunset.

The day started with photos in the vines. [...]

2011 was a great year for Loren Scott Photography! We were busier than ever and had the pleasure of photographing weddings and engagement sessions for a bunch of really awesome couples. Rachel and I have selected some of our own personal favorites from 2011, and we also asked our happy couples to pick out some of their own as well.

So, here they are, from the [...]

On Saturday, December 3rd, I was close to home in Murrieta at the World Harvest Church to photograph our final wedding of the year, the beautiful winter wedding of Chantale Stamp and Anthony Ley! I had photographed Anthony’s High School senior portraits a couple of years ago. So, when it was time to plan his wedding, his mother contacted us right away. (Thank you, [...]

On Friday, October 28, 2011, we were at the Bali Hai Restaurant in San Diego photographing the wedding of Kasey Middlestead and Trevor Schultz. Kasey and Trevor had a perfect bayside ceremony complete with gorgeous weather and a sparkling water view! And following the ceremony was a fun daytime reception on the Bali Hai patio, complete with fun and funky cake centerpieces!

As with their engagement [...]

On Friday, September 30th, Jennifer Williams and Shawn Percival had a beautiful wine country wedding at Wiens Family Cellars.

And, although my natural style of photography is primarily photojournalistic and candid, when my client wants to ‘model it up’ a bit, who am I to say no? Jennifer had sent us a list of some specific shots she was hoping to capture on the day [...]

People often ask me if I ever get tired of photographing weddings. Or they ask if it ever gets old seeing the same old things over and over. On the contrary, one of the reasons I stopped doing general portraiture at the beginning of this year to focus on weddings was the fact that each one is unique and special. Yet, I have to admit [...]

It has been a few weeks since our last blog update, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t been busy. Quite the opposite, in fact. In the past two weeks, I’ve photographed two other weddings (after the one in this post) and spent nearly every free moment packing and unpacking as we moved into our brand spanking new house! Now that we have a moment to [...]

We have a lot of out of state couples who come from all over the U.S. to marry in our beautiful Temecula Wine Country. Kathryne Starmer and Conrad Vaughan came a little further — across the Atlantic to be exact — from their home in the United Kingdom. AND they brought all of their closest friends and family members to celebrate with them on Thursday, [...]

The day was Saturday, August 20th and Charlinn McCuiston was a nervous bride. Prior to the ceremony, she was acting as many young brides do just prior to marrying the man of their dreams. She was checking every detail and checking it again. The cutest thing is that, a few times, she actually apologized to me for acting so nervous. I have [...]

On July 23, 2011, I was back in beautiful Temecula Wine Country to photograph the wedding of Megan Ashton and John Proctor at Keyways Vineyard and Winery. One of the first things I noticed upon my arrival were the unique flower arrangements and eye catching bouquets. In a word: GREEN. Megan (maybe because she’s a Texas resident?) had chosen succulents for her floral theme. Organic [...]

Monique and Randy are true lovebirds. One year ago, these childhood sweethearts married in a simple courthouse ceremony. To celebrate their first anniversary on July 9th of this year, they decided to have the wedding they never had. And they did it in style — aboard the yacht Spirit of Newport. Their closest family and friends were all onboard for the cruise around Newport [...]

If you’re a regular follower of this blog, you’ll remember Courtney and James from their fun engagement portrait session (HERE) where they did a split session — half at the park with their dogs and half in Old Town Temecula. We made a cute engagement session video for them then too. They were so much fun during the engagement portrait session, that I truly could [...]

Saturday, May 21st, we were in Fullerton at the Coyote Hills Golf Course to photograph the wedding of Cassandra New and Robert Johnson. It was an emotional day all around with Cassandra tearing up a bit just after getting in her wedding dress; Robert getting a bit watery-eyed as he first caught sight of Cassandra coming down the aisle; Cassandra wiping her eyes during the [...]

On May 14th, we were back in Temecula Wine Country to photograph the wedding of Kelly Keprios and Tim Jiannino at Wiens Family Cellars.

Both Kelly and Tim were in great moods all day. Kelly even trusted me when I suggested that I’d like to take her dress out into the vineyard to get some shots of it there. I thought that would be far [...]

On Saturday, May 1st, we were at Etiwanda Gardens near Rancho Cucamonga for the wedding of Kimberly White and Tony Checcia. I had a blast watching them have a blast all day! My second shooter, Erin, and I capture some really great moments with Kimberly and Tony and their families and friends on this day.

This was the first time I had ever photographed an [...]

On Saturday, November 27th, I documented our final wedding of 2010, the wedding of Erin Eubanks and Richard Nordeen!

Erin and Rick were married in a very classic church ceremony at Christ The King Lutheran Church in nearby Fallbrook. Classic touches included a bouquet of creamy white roses, a strand of pretty pearls around Erin’s neck, and a line of old fashioned Rolls Royce cars [...]

On Sunday, October 31, 2010 (Halloween), we photographed what was a very special wedding for us because it was the wedding of long time friends Cherina Hardiman and Joseph Emery.

Cher and Joe have been together FOREVER. In fact, the day after their wedding, November 1st, was going to be their 10th anniversary since becoming a couple! So, everyone kidded them that it was about [...]
