While the skill of the photographer is the most important factor in obtaining a memorable wedding photography collection,Photographers Analysis of Temecula Wedding Location: Ponte Family Estate Winery Articles the location has a major impact on the tone and look. Ponte Estate Winery, with its wide open skies and vineyards, provides much raw material that a skilled photographer can put to good use for a wedding collection. 

First, the winery has rows and rows of vineyards. A creative and favorite shot of many photographers is to shoot the bride and groom walking down one of the vineyard rows. The rows are straight and, like a pair of train tracks appear to converge off into the distance. Shooting the couple as they walk down this row- holding hands, gives the feel of a couple walking down the road of life into eternity. 

Another technique to give this shot a unique look is to change the colors in post production work. Make these shots black and white, sepia, or a light pastel coloring. The combination of 50's coloring on a dirt path in an agricultural setting creates an appealing retro look. The pictures have an attractive innocent look.

Another appealing shot to be had at this location can be taken at the ceremony itself. When looking at the bride and groom from behind as they are making their vows try and get a shot from a low angle. Crouch down so you are looking up at the party. The beauty of this shot is there are no mountains, buildings or other items in the background. The only thing you'll see in this shot is a big blue sky (or gray depending on the weather). This shot gives a big world feel. The bride and family will love it.

Another fun idea is to bring an attractive chair which matches the wedding colors - flowers, bridesmaid dresses, and place the chair in the middle of the vineyard. Taking pictures of the groom, bride and then the bride and groom together relaxed and happy creates some wonderful shots for a creative wedding album page. Really it doesn't have to be a chair; any prop that is elegant and belongs indoors setup in the vineyards creates a memorable setup.

Ponte Estate Winery is a beautiful location with much raw photographic material which used properly will create a wedding collection to last a lifetime.
