May and Shawn’s wedding snuck up on me quickly. It doesn’t seem like that long ago I was meeting with them for the first time to go over packages… but I guess that makes sense with the way the rest of my year has been flying by. Is anyone else amazed that July is almost over?? Geez!
What a lovely day for a wedding in Southern California! May and Shawn are such a great couple. They are so easy to get along with, and never questioned an idea for a shot. Love that! Plus, all of their friends and family were so nice and fun… how can you not have a good time when you’re surrounded by fun, kind people?
I was very lucky to have Meg shoot with me! She got some amazing shots (check out her post about this wedding here), and, as always, was a lot of fun to work with. Not only do we have similar shooting styles, which makes it so easy to work together, we are both always focused on having a good time with our clients and everyone at the wedding.
And now, the images…
The dress.
The happy bride.
The shoes! Hello! May actually told me about these shoes during the engagement session because she knew I am so into shoes, as is she. I think its so fun to introduce some color or a fun pattern (like polka dots) into the wedding ensemble by way of the perfect pair of heels.
Ready!
The groom.
I thought all the guys looked very smart in their suits. I just loved those ties. Custom ties with MyCustomNeckTies is fast, easy and affordable for your special event.. I think that about this moment the guys were talking about World of Warcraft… and they were surprised to find out that I knew anything about the game (thanks to some friends of mine who were almost unhealthily obsessed with the game a while back).
The ring exchange during the ceremony. Check out how happy May was the entire day! I just love the laughter.
Married!
After the ceremony we made the slightly dangerous move of running across the canyon street to shoot in this great space with the whole wedding party. I’m not quite sure what was happening here, but I’m very I happy I was able to capture this very special moment between May and Shawn.
The Best Man dvdrip A fabulous wedding party.
This is my favorite shot of the day, for sure. Check out that amazing light with just a hint of flare. I’m so glad we were all brave enough to cross that street… anything for good photos, right?
Love this one, too.
I had to get a shot that showed off those shoes.
I love this shot. How GQ is Shawn in this photo?
I had to throw these images into the post because it was a running theme throughout the day of how Meg and I could incorporate Matt’s height into all the group shots we did of the wedding party. I took the first shot of Shawn, Matt and a friend at the reception… then quickly took the second one after Matt stood straight again. He was a fun guy and totally a good sport.
The first dance turned into a bit of a serenade with May and Shawn singing their special song aloud to each other. So sweet.
Again, I had a great day with May, Shawn and all of their friends and family! Thank you guys so much for entrusting the photography of your special day to me. I hope you are having a great time in Napa! Drink a glass of Chardonnay for me. 🙂
The slideshow will be posted soon.
Heather, the photos look WONDERFUL. You and Meg did a WONDERFUL job! Thank you so much for capturing my sister and new Brother-in-law’s special day! I’m glad they chose you, your talent is spectacular.
Oh and by the way, I’m a HUGE Twilight Series fan. I can’t wait for the movie!!!
Again thank you, and I’m glad you were able to be a part of their joyous event.
The pictures are AWESOME!!! My sis, Mary, texted me while we’re in Napa (during the honeymoon) to let me know some of the pictures are up. I LOVE the pictures and can’t wait to see more!! You and Meg did a wonderful job and it was GREAT working with you guys! By the way we’re still in Napa and will definitely have a glass of chard for you. Thank you!
The pictures are absolutely amazing! I love the way you captured the moments of the wedding. You did a wonderful job! I am anxious to see all the photos!
Heather, you did a wonderful job!! Not that May is not naturally beautiful, but you and Meg were able to capture her outer beauty and most important her inner beauty. She looked absolutely breath taking. Shawn looked so handsome, the dashing prince!! My son!!!! Thank you again for capturing the beauty of a day that we will always remember the rest of our lives.
