kelly and rick’s wedding day……

Saturday, May 24th

Kelly and Rick, it’s finally your turn to be our Blog stars! Woooo!

Saturday found the Shadowcatcher team heading up to Valley Center for the beautiful wedding of Kelly and Rick. We were all a little worried about what mom nature was going to throw our way for weather, but our good luck held out and the rain stayed away. The sky was beautifully decorated with deep blues in the background and some lovely shades of pink and purple thrown in for a perfect wedding day background!

Kelly’s Mom Deborah is an interior designer and handled all of the flowers and decorations herself, we think Deborah has a great second career as a wedding planner and event designer. The flowers and details were STUNNING!

Meet our beautiful bride Kelly!

!

Kelly & Rick’s signature cocktail was the Prickly Pear Martini!

Ohhhh and the food! I could go on forever here ;0)

First, again we would like to thank you all so much for including us all in your amazing dinner, we even had hand calligraphed place cards with our names on them!

The food was done by Chef Andrew of Chile C0 Their card says they are Culinary artists at work, and it couldn’t be more true. The food was not only so beautiful, the taste was unbelievable, and the staff worked together seamlessly all night delivering a mouth  watering 4 course meal. They earned a 5 star thumbs up from all of us, we recommend them highly!

Even though the rain stayed away, it was a little chilly, friends and family warmed up a little on the dance floor and the heat from the sparklers helped a lot too!

Kelly & Rick… it was great getting to know you both and share this special day with you. You guys have something special, and we LOVED capturing it all!

Sherry & John’s e-session at the beach!

Friday May 16th

After a long hard day here in the studio, it was great for us to get out and enjoy an beautiful sunset shoot at the beach with Sherry and John!The tide was in just a little to far, but the sunset was AMAZING! And we all didn’t get too wet… well maybe just a little ;o)

We had a terrific time laughing and talking with Sherry and John, it really was just the break and change of pace I needed that day! Thanks guys!

Here are some of our favorites from this session…..

Towards the end of the session John surprised us all especially Sherry, by taking back her ring and then officially getting down on one knee and asking her to marry him…… that was soooo romantic and sweet, we all teared up! What a guy!

T

We can’t wait for Sherry and Johns wedding in September… we just know it is going to be filled with so much love and tender moments! Ahhhhhh… we love those!

stacey & colin’s engagement session

Sunday May 11th

We have been doing so many Balboa Park and downtown sessions lately that we were really excited to get back to the beach last night with Stacey and Colin for one super fun and romantic engagement session!

The weather was really chilly and overcast, but Stacey and Colin came all the way out from Vegas for the shoot, so there was no turning back. About 15 minutes into the shoot, we were all moving around so much and having so much fun that the cold just disappeared!

Here are a few of our favorites from the session…..

Ok.. so were really not sure how this pose happened, and I am not sure we could ever do it again, but one minute Stacey was Pigggyback with Colin and then it was Cirque de Solie time!

While we were shooting the image above Skip said to me… look over there, there is a little dog out there on the rocks… no wait.. it’s a sea lion! Poor little guy, he was sooo cute! After awhile he waddled back into the ocean, we sure hope he found his family!

We had the best time ever working  with Stacey and Colin and can’t wait till their June wedding at Los Willows!

Saturday we headed back up to Temecula again with our assistants Janelle and Lizz for day 2 in our wedding weekend double header for Lauren & Kevin’s wedding at the beautiful Gershon Bachus Vineyard Estate. Laurens dad found this amazing gem of a wedding venue, and he couldn’t have picked a better spot! The owners were wonderful and watched over every detail all day long. The vines were just at the right spot for pictures, and the day rolled along perfectly! The love between Lauren & Kevin filled Temecula Saturday, these two have that oh so special love that just makes your heart melt when you see them together. And believe me when I say there wasn’t a dry eye around when these two read their vows… WOW, I was really happy I had my camera to hide behind!

Here are some of our favorites from the day, I wish we had room to put them all up here, everything was so beautiful it was hard to choose!

 

And then the party started!

Congratulations again Lauren & Kevin! And a BIG thank you  to both you and your families for making us all  feel so welcome! It was an amazing day!

arlene and eric’s fabulous temecula creek inn wedding

Friday May 2nd

Temecula Creek Inn

Wow, wow, WOW! What a day this was!

First….. Arelne and Eric are the two sweetest people you ever want to meet! So warm, genuine, they are just wonderful, and they and their families were just the best to work with!

We also had the extreme pleasure of working with some of our favorite other  wedding vendors.. what a dream team!

The Flowers were done beautifully by Gerryanne of Temecula Floral  DJ- Jerry Beck of Becks Entertainment provided the best music all night long, we love Jerry, he not only has the best mixes ever, we always leave every wedding we do with him dancing all the way to the car, but he is such a sweetheart! And video was provided by our favorite video guy John of NR3 Video Productions. Working with John and his wife Norma is like doing a beautifully choreographed dance for me. We work so well together, and when you have that video/photo combo, the end results are amazing!

Here are some of my favorites from Arlene and Erics big day…………

I just love this shot, I didn’t even know Skip was behind us, but here I am shooting while John is doing  video, and our assistant Janelle is holding John’s video light… that gave me the shot below.. team work.. you gotta love it!

To say it was a pleasure working with Arlene and Eric is such an understatement!I just can’t say in words how amazing this day was… so it is a good thing we can speak through our images

Thank you again  so very  much Arlene and Eric… and CONGRATULATIONS!
