What It’s Really Like to Have a Luxury Photo Booth at Villa de Amore Temecula, CA
Why This Venue, Why This Moment
Tucked away in the hills of Temecula wine country, Villa de Amore is a venue that feels like a destination, romantic, serene, and thoughtfully designed. With its European charm, golden-hour ceremony spaces, and intimate courtyard reception area, it’s no wonder so many couples are drawn to its effortless elegance.
We recently had the honor of being part of Frances and Jonathan’s wedding day at Villa de Amore. They wanted an experience that reflected the beauty of the venue while still offering their guests something interactive and memorable. That’s where Pure Luxe came in.
In this blog, we’re sharing what it’s really like to bring a luxury photo booth into a setting as timeless as Villa de Amore and how we approach setup, design, guest flow, and those little moments that make it all feel seamless.
First Things First: Does a Photo Booth Fit the Vibe at Villa de Amore?
Villa de Amore is the kind of venue where every detail feels intentional. The architecture, the lighting, and the setting are all beautifully curated. That level of thoughtfulness is exactly why a photo booth can feel like a seamless part of the day when it’s designed with purpose.
At Pure Luxe, we tailor each setup to complement the venue’s romantic, Tuscan-inspired style. We choose neutral backdrops that work with the space, use soft lighting that flatters every guest, and create a clean, open-air layout that feels elevated but never distracting. Whether you prefer a minimal look or carefully selected props, every design choice is made to reflect the overall tone of the celebration.
This was the same approach we took for Frances and Jonathan’s wedding at Villa de Amore, where everything came together effortlessly.
A Real Setup: What the Experience Looks Like from Start to Finish
For Frances and Jonathan’s wedding at Villa de Amore, we arrived early to set up before guests made their way into the reception. The booth was placed near the entrance, just outside the ballroom beside the iron gate that leads to the courtyard. It was a beautiful location that felt inviting without pulling focus from the rest of the space.
We used a crisp white backdrop that paired effortlessly with the venue’s romantic, sunlit setting. The overall look was clean, modern, and true to the couple’s vision.
Throughout the afternoon, the booth stayed active. Guests stopped by with friends, took a quick photo before finding their seats, and returned for more as the celebration continued. It added a light, joyful energy that fit naturally into the flow of the day.
The Little Details That Make a Big Impact
One of the things that makes a photo booth feel elevated is the intention behind it. Before every wedding, we coordinate directly with planners to confirm timing, layout, and setup details so that nothing feels rushed or out of place. For Villa de Amore, we also pay close attention to sun placement and natural lighting to ensure the booth looks its best from the very start.
For Frances and Jonathan, we worked closely with them to make sure every design detail aligned with their vision. From the font to the layout, their photo strip template was created with care to complement the rest of their wedding design. The result was a seamless addition that felt personalized, refined, and completely true to them.
Details like choosing a white backdrop, keeping props minimal, and creating a setup that quietly fits into the celebration all contribute to an experience that feels thoughtful from beginning to end.
Final Thoughts: More Than Just a Photo Booth
When every part of your wedding day is planned with intention, the photo booth should reflect that same level of care. At a venue like Villa de Amore, it is not just about offering something fun for your guests. It is about creating an experience that fits seamlessly into the beauty of the day.
For Frances and Jonathan, the photo booth felt like a natural extension of the celebration. It brought energy, captured meaningful moments, and left guests with keepsakes they were genuinely excited about.
If you are planning your wedding at Villa de Amore and want a photo booth experience that feels thoughtful, elevated, and completely aligned with your vision, we would love to be part of it.
