A Beautiful Winery Wedding at Bernardo Winery, Congratulations Taylor and Ryan!

A stone fountain in a garden and a wooden box lid labeled “Bernardo Winery”—perfect for a romantic winery wedding.
Taylor & Ryan met through the Navy in Coronado California. When you first meet Taylor, there is no way you would believe she is in the Navy with her gorgeous blonde hair and beautiful eyes. But then you realize she is tough as well as gorgeous and these two were meant to be!

Wedding Venue:
Bernardo Winery is a 121-year-old working winery that still produces wine every year! It is honestly a San Diego wedding photographer’s dream venue because everywhere you look has another photo opportunity! The light and the rustic original buildings are so unique, you just can’t find it anywhere else!

Star Vendors:
Coordinator: Terry Lowrey
Florist: Debra Wright
Band/DJ: Sunset Mobile Music – Dominic
Hair & Make-up: Sinem & Rena
Wedding Dress + Bridesmaid Dresses: David’s Bridal
Groom’s Attire + Groomsmen Attire: Manaquin

My favorite moment:
My favorite part was the dancing! These two had the best party with every single member of their families on the dance floor having the time of their lives! You can tell they will never lack smiles and fun in their household and that goes such a long way in a marriage!

What they said about us!
“My wedding planner recommended you all and I started following Vallentyne Photography on social media and fell in love with the memories and pictures they captured!”

Your photos shouldn’t just sit on a computer—they should live in albums, frames, and prints you see every day. If that sounds right to you, I’d love to help design it.

What I’ve learned over 20 years is that every family has their own rhythm, and the best portraits come when I let that guide the session. If you’d like photos that feel like your family, let’s chat.
