If you have not been to Humprehys Estate in Temecula, CA it is a must see!  This place is a hidden gem and a photographers dream come true.  Ryan met Vanessa and Matt at this private estate for their dream engagement session.  Greeted by the sounds of the peacocks walking around the grounds it was immediately clear this was going to be an photo shoot full of beautiful scenes and lifelong memories.

Humphreys Estate  is off the beaten path with some dirt road driving to access it, but it is well worth the off-roading.

We met in the afternoon in front of the estate, and after wandering around for a little while we didn’t know where to begin.  We started with some shots in the beautiful rose garden.  Following the trails we found more and more unique locations around every corner.  From the beautiful old brick building to the rows of greek-like columns it truly provides a wide variety of photo opportunities.

Getting to know this couple gave me a glimpse into the fun that would soon come with their wedding taking place at Steele Canyon Golf Club several months later.
