It has been over a year since we shot Jeremiah and Shannon’s wedding — so long, in fact, that they already have a little boy to keep them up at night. So this post is well overdue.

But never out of date.

See, we did Jer & Shan’s killer engagement session at the old Bonsall bridge several months before their wedding, and when the Big Day came around, we knew to expect TONS of chemistry and emotion. (These are two main ingredients of any great wedding picture.)

As Shannon’s family calls Fallbrook home, everything was held here in town. The ceremony was convened at the historic First Christian Church of Fallbrook (which was literally one of the first Christian churches in Fallbrook — if not THE first), and the reception was held at her family’s house down by Highway 76. There, among other awesome things that went down was an incredible photobooth, which we blogged not long after their wedding.

Their day was filled with great legacies of lasting marriages and family ties, and as friends we would have probably been there anyways. But being part of such a special day was a privilege that we will never forget. We love you guys (and your little guy)!!! :)

Finally, I blog a wedding. :)

This is from all the way back in July ‘10, when my Uncle Paul got married and added Nadine to our rambunctious clan. Their ceremony and reception were at The Grand Tradition in Fallbrook, where we shot their engagement session almost a year ago. You can also see my favorite images from their photobooth here.

It is a blessing to be a part of anyone’s wedding. And it’s even better when you know at least one of the people making vows. And it’s even better if like 50 members of your extended family are around to give you a hard time (and lots and lots of hugs). This wedding was especially awesome because of the beautiful surroundings at The Grand Tradition–the settings and angles are tailor-made for wedding photography–and the fact that, well, Fallbrook is our home base. We don’t have to look it up on the map. This is where we live, and weddings here feel like hometown events to us.

This was truly a special day, and we were honored to play such an intimate role in documenting every minute of it. We love you, Uncle Paul and Aunt Nadine!!!

The Currybooth!!!

August 7, 2010

Last weekend, the big day finally came for my Uncle Paul and his bride, Nadine. We had a blast shooting their wedding at The Grand Tradition in Fallbrook, where the weather was in the mid-80s — perfect for an afternoon of shooting. As usual, the photobooth was a blast, and we have to thank their guests for being such a fun group to shoot!

First up, my nephew, the ring-bearer.

And……… the flower girl. (Love this sequence, after we gave her a handful of petals.)

A couple of months ago, we had the privilege of shooting a wedding with Nick over at The Image Group, and what a beautiful wedding it was. Chris and Shari are amazing together, and despite a rain delay and having to move the ceremony inside, everyone was upbeat and smiling the entire time.
