Shadowcatcher Imagery

f my list and we are so happy that they could shoot our wedding. After having the opportunity to meet, it was clear how their personality and passion matched their talent, Heather and Skip are the absolute best! On our big day both Heather and Skip as well as their assistant Kendra were professional and attentive behind the lens and so much fun during all the bits in between. If I could name and MVP the day of the wedding, I would name Kendra the MVP. She went above and beyond. I wore a tight fitted dress, and anytime there was the tiniest little “frump” she was there to adjust it to make sure I looked flawless! Group shots were super smooth and efficient. You’d think it be impossible to get a picture with all the kids smiling and still. Guess what?not impossible. We have so many lovely pictures with the kids it’s amazing. Through out the course of day Heather and Skip continued to bring a thirst and enthusiasm for capturing our wedding and what made that day so special for us, i knew those images would be personal and we could not be happier with how they turned out. Photography was a big part of the day for us and having the talent and personality of Heather and Skip entrusted with that responsibility was a dream. Our wedding pictures turned out better than I could have ever dreamed of. If you are still looking for a wedding photographer, search no more. I can guarantee you will not find a better photography team! Thank you Heather and Skip, we are so glad you were part of our special day!

ncomfortable in front of the camera. But somehow, Heather & Skip brought out the best in us and all of that discomfort in front of the camera went away. It was so natural, organic and candid, we love how they captured our wedding from start to finish! I told Heather multiple times throughout the day how much fun I was having with the shots they were coming up with. Their work is truly inspired; the way they take the photographs and do their magic during editing is such an art form. The team they brought to work with us that day was so top-notch to. I cannot say enough good things about this team - look no further, these photographers are the real deal!

went off of our venue's preferred vendor list. While meeting at Los Willows (our venue) for various planning sessions, my fiance, mom, and I admired the photographs in their showroom. Well, most of those photographs were taken by Shadowcatcher Imagery! They have lots of different options for packages and will truly cater to what you want. On our wedding day, the girls and I were running behind with hair and makeup, but Heather didn't stress or add pressure by making us move faster. She worked on the photos that she didn't need us for, then used our little bit of time wisely before the ceremony began. During the ceremony, I hardly noticed they were snapping photos! But they were! Anyway, throughout the whole wedding, they were wonderful and were very accommodating to what we wanted. They are troopers- I have 3 brothers who like to goof off while taking pictures, but Kendra was able to deal with them while Heather and Skip took BEAUTIFUL photos of us! During the reception, they pulled us out to take nighttime photos. My now husband was itching to get back on the dance floor, and Heather and Skip were really nice about that. They worked fast and got some amazing shots of us. Speaking of the photos, Heather posted an album of over 50 photos just 4 days after our wedding. I have received SO MANY compliments on those photos. And the compliments keep coming! I think I've looked at them at least once a day over the past 2 1/2 weeks. I just can't stop- they are so beautiful. Thanks to Shadowcatcher for capturing the special moments on one of the best days of our lives. I would recommend you guys to anyone who needs a photographer! OH! And since we got married in the off season, Heather and Skip were able to have our photographs ready LESS THAN 2 WEEKS after our wedding!! I know that doesn't happen all the time, but it goes to show that they care about you and work hard even after the big day. They know how badly everyone wants to relive their wedding and see all the photos. AMAZING!

, and SHADOWCATCHER was with me every step of the way. Heather actually helped me find my perfect venue!! A God send for those planning from OUT OF STATE, especially. Of course the photos were AMAZING and belong in a MAGAZINE and I want to print them all and use them as wallpaper all over my house (if that were allowed). Unfortunately, Our day was completely rushed and falling behind and they still kept up with the photos that were important to me. I cannot stress enough to make sure you know which SHOTS ARE A MUST.. so that Heather and Skip can make sure they capture it. The fact that they do a SNEAK PEAK is something I would not have been able to live without. To have to wait weeks to see your first photos, get out! My friend even asked what I had to do to get photos so quickly haha. I worked with them for over a year until my special day and they were so helpful and communicative even about WEDDING STUFF that had nothing to do with photography!! It means so much to a DESTINATION BRIDE from AZ!!! Thank you for all of your help.

ith the wedding timeline the whole day. They were warm, welcoming and easy to talk to throughout as well which makes the whole day feel SO much better. I would be happy to work with Heather and Skip again in the future.

portunity to meet with them in person before signing the contract, so I had to just trust my gut instinct after speaking to Heather a few times on the phone. She was so warm and helpful that I had no doubt that I was making the right decision. She, Skip and Kendra were fantastic to work with. They not only are amazing photographers, but they are also incredibly nice people. My husband and I are both somewhat shy about having our picture taken and rarely like the end result, but Heather, Skip and Kendra immediately put us at ease and we were absolutely blown away by the images they captured. The highlight pics they posted the day after our wedding are gorgeous and we cannot wait to see the rest of the pictures. I also can’t thank Heather enough for everything she did to ensure that I had NOTHING to worry about on our wedding day. Just days before our wedding, we discovered that another wedding would be taking place where we had planned to do our “first look” and family photos. Heather didn’t skip a beat – she found another gorgeous location on the property to shoot our photos and also coordinated with our wedding venue to make sure we had access a little earlier than scheduled so we could take the family photos there. I could not be happier and would definitely hire the Shadowcatcher team again in a heartbeat!

e main reasons it was so perfect though, was because of Heather, Skip, and Kendra! They were amazing. Really and truly, from the bottom of our hearts, we cannot thank the team enough. Every moment from initial contact to our last meeting with them when we got our flash drive with our photos was perfect. They were always in communication with us, got every photo we wanted and more, and just genuinly kept everything running smooth at our wedding with photos. Our pictures are STUNNING! Seriously magazine quality with the way Shadowcatcher captures those special moments. Looking through our photos, it feels like we are re-living our wedding day and will cherish them for years to come! Thank you again Shadowcatcher! We will continue to be clients for years to come!

a at all, so Heather helped me pick the perfect setting and even scouted locations for me the day of the engagement because beaches were packed for the holiday and she wanted to make it more special/secluded for my sis. I cannot describe how helpful and sweet she was throughout the entire process. The day of the engagement when we walked out onto the beach, Heather and her husband remained completely hidden and captured every moment. My sister was in tears after learning that we had documented it all! I couldn't have pulled this off without Heather - I HIGHLY recommend her and her husband. We were beyond thrilled with their service all around AND the end product, which we will cherish forever. THANK YOU!!!

gs ahead with you. Heather was there for us via email throughout the planning process from the start; the whole team was on time for the day, and knew perfectly how to manage things, including time, unexpected incidents, etc. All of them are friendly, fun, and sweet, and of course, AMAZING photographers. Our wedding was in June, Balboa park, prom season. There were so so many brides, prom dates, and tourists at the venue to the point that everyone thought was ridiculous (I’ve been to Balboa park many times and it was never like that, ever). Team Shadowcatcher had the best judgment in these challenging circumstances--they knew exactly how much time they should wait for certain locations for photoshoots, for example, or what places to go instead to avoid the crowd. The results were amazing. From the whole set of hundreds of images, I cannot really tell if there were anyone else there except for our party. I was also impressed by how there wasn’t a single image of anyone with unflattering shadows cast upon their faces! This is what makes Shadowcatcher Imagery exceptional as wedding photographers: they use light not only for the sake of demonstrating technical skills in photography, but also to document the human face in the most flattering way possible. As a bride, this was so important to me, and I appreciate the amount of care the photographers showed for all the people being photographed--the bride and groom, family, ceremonial party, and also, the guests! With three shooters, we were able to get traditional, classic photos as well as photojournalistic, candid shots of everyone, in different styles and depth of fields. Not to mention they make your wedding photos look glamorous. The teaser images and images for prints were magazine style gorgeous, just like the ones you see in their portfolios on their website. They did a more natural look for our engagement session, so I know they could do that if that is what you want--but for me, I love how our wedding photos look so sparkly and special. I mean, it is a wedding, after all ;) I highly recommended working with them for their skills, personalities, and the amount of care they show you before, on the day of, and after your wedding. Thank you Heather, Skip, and Kendra. I am proud to be a Shadowcatcher bride. + Some of our favorites were not in the teaser photos! I think that means there are crazily good images by Shadowcatcher Imagery that are not online :)

cess seamless and simple. She was very flexible and my husband and I love our pictures, mind you he is not one for taking pictures. We had a great time and even included two of our kids in a few pictures at the last minute. I will definitely be hiring Heather again for our family photographs soon. Thank you again for making our day even more memorable.

re with Heather and Skip and their assistant Kendra. Totally professional and their work is impeccable and to die for. We just received our teasers last Week and were super excited about them and can't wait to see the Rest ! Shadow Catcher imagery was my first choice and should be yours. They are not your typical wedding photographers they think outside the box and the pictures are full of vibrant colors ..I'm so happy we went with them and can't wait to use them for Boudoir photos and hopefully sometime soon mommy-to-be photos. Thank you Heather, Skip and Kendra for capturing our Special Day

the bride, and hiring them was the best decision we made!

re cannot be beat. I'm a simple person, so I'll leave a simple review. Pros: - quality for the price cannot be beat. They even customize packages based on your needs. - out of all the vendors we used, Heather was the most organized and had the quickest response time. She is fantastic at knowing her job, understanding the couple and their needs, and getting everything done without being pushy. She is such an easy going and adaptable person. - our venue was very challenging with many obstacles and restrictions. Heather and Skip did not skip a beat in their ability to work wit the situation, while being flexible, creative and positive. - a few preview pictures are sent within a few days from the event. This is rare from what's I've seen with other friend's weddings, and such an important gesture. They are fast and keep their word. - My family is full of challenging personalities- from shy, uptight, sensitive, impossible to please to even aggressive and abrasive. Not a problem for this team. The tact and ease they possess for handling everyone seems effortless. I could go on and on. Book them- they are amazing people worth every penny.

ill regret it. There are not enough positive words in the English language to sing the praises of this team. I am shy, awkward, and in general hate my picture being taken. But this team makes you forget all of that. Their pictures are beautiful. The eye this team has for their art is unmatched, and their personalities make every interaction with them amazing. Thank you so much Shadowcatcher Imagery, you guys are absolutely amazing.

that worked for us. Heather was very quick to respond to all my crazy emails in a timely manner which I loved. We also used them to do our engagement photos which turned out beautiful. They gave us about 700+ photos from our wedding. I highly recommend Shadow Catcher Imagery.

out with recommending a DJ that we were able to hire last minute. They also brought an assistant that saved my bridesmaid from trying to figure out how to tie my dress. The pictures were amazing and I have had trouble deciding which ones I want in my album because there are so many great ones! I would highly recommend them to anyone! They are not only great photographers but they are great people with a kind heart. We are truly grateful! Thank you Heather and Skip for capturing great moments in one of the most important days of our lives!

er looking through their beautiful portfolio in person, we booked them on the spot for our 2006 wedding. They are the perfect team! Heather goes for the artistic, funky angles and Skip captures the more traditional pictures. We booked a package that included an engagement session, which I highly recommend. Not only did it give us great engagement pictures, but it was a "rehearsal" for how all of us would work together during our wedding. We ended up having a lot of fun splashing around in the ocean and bonding with our photographers. The day of our wedding, Heather met me at my hotel to take pictures of "the girls' getting ready while Skip met up with "the guys" to capture their moments on film. During the ceremony, not only did they get beautiful pictures of us, but of our family and friends, the venue, the ambiance, and the general "feeling" of the day. Throughout the reception, the mingled unobtrusively while taking pictures of the fun everyone was having. Never once did I feel the photographers were anything less than invited guests. I even asked them to sign our guest photo print that hangs in my living room. :) In my opinion, you can cut corners on the food, or the wine, or the music, because those are things that people wont remember but you will have these pictures forever. Invest in a photographer who will capture your day so when you open your wedding album 8 years later (like me) you can still remember every detail as you look at the beautiful images! Shadowcatcher WILL do that for you!

emely shy person and have always hated having my picture taken, but when my fiance and I first met this dynamic duo, we were instantly comfortable with them. That reassured my fiance that I would be ok for them to photograph and capture our most special day, we hired them on the spot. Heather and Skip were very professional, yet laid back and easy to work with. The teaser pictures that have been posted from our past wedding on 06/21/14 are without question amazing. I would without a doubt recommend Shadowcatcher Imagery to anyone who needed great photographers for any special event! I'm even considering setting up a Boudoir session for a gift for my husband...that's a big step for this introverted girl!!! :)

edding day. They made everyone so comfortable and they were so much fun! Our wedding was a hot one, and they were such professionals in dealing with the extreme heat and maybe even a few cranky wedding party members. Their photos were stunning and they truly captured the feel and personality of the day. I would highly recommend them to anyone that is looking.

out all the awkward poses we may have to do which could be frustrating. Turns out the Skipp and Heather are consummate professionals and knew our venue incredibly well. This allowed them to be effective, efficient, getting the shots that they needed and we wanted; and ultimately giving us more time to spend with friends and family. Once I saw the engagement photos I was so anxious to see what they would accomplish with the wedding photos. My now wife and I were incredibly satisfied. We will happily use their services in the future; and I would feel comfortable recommended them to anyone in need.

were saying it felt like there were paparazzi (in a good way) because they were so good at catching every detail but at the same time were very discreet and out-of-the-way. They had tons of beautiful pictures posted on FB the next day for everyone to enjoy. I have use them myself in the past and referred them to many friends and family. They never disappoint!

! They went above and beyond in everything they did. And our wedding pictures are absolutely gorgeous!

from intake, execution, up to the final prints. I had my wedding at Los Willows, and have always admired their work. I liked how their shots tell a story, and they did exactly that on my wedding. My wedding pictures had the flow that I wanted, and they captured every important moment---in its best light. Let's face it, a wedding can be the most stressful event in one's life. Mine certainly was, and Heather and Skip listened so well (not only to my rants) but to what I wanted. They respected my wishes even if schedule on the wedding day was tight. I have to mention that my budget was also tight, and even thought that Heather and Skip would not bother to work with me. But they worked with me as if I was one of their VIP clients. They also brought an extra photographer who was sooo funny, upbeat, and nice! Did I mention that I also had 2 venues and they were on both locations on time, all set up, and ready to go! On the wedding day, I would worry and fuss about almost anything, but Heather helped to refocus me and helped me produce the best smiles possible! Couldn't be happier to have had Shadowcatcher as my wedding photographer! The wedding

und, professional and took the time to know us. The only downfall is I live in Denver, so unfortunately we can't use them for our wedding. :( I recommend Shadowcatcher Imagery to anyone who wants fun, classy images!

phers that want to capture everything on your most important day. Their pictures are the highest quality and capture unique photos that set you aside from the rest of the brides you see in pictures. They have a great imagination! Heather and Skip captured our engagement shoot and wedding day. My husband and I did our engagement shoot at Hotel Del Coronado and it was beautiful. They brought props to enhance our photo shoot and it really added character. On our wedding day, I trusted Heather and Skip 100% because they were familiar with our venue at Los Willows in Fallbrook, CA. I didn't have one worry that day and they made me feel comfortable. They are punctual and very professional. We had a lot of photos we wanted to capture that day and they had me type up a timeline for my guests to insure that everyone is there for pictures when they needed to be. This helped things run smoothly. On my behalf, I was running a tiny bit late because of my makeup, but Heather and Skip were still able to include all the pictures I wanted. They have quite a few photo packages and we ended up purchasing ours when there was a sale going on. We ended up upgrading to a different package later on after our engagement shoot because they did a great job! The photo book that is included in our package is stunning and I can't wait to put all the pictures together and take it home. :) They are by far the best photographers out there and I am 100% satisfied. Thank you again Heather and Skip for everything! I truly hope everyone chooses you to capture their wedding day! I will always refer you to people who are getting married and for those who need you for special occasions. Greg and I would love to have you two take pictures of us when we plan to have kids and throughout our lives together. I can't wait to see the rest of our wedding pictures.

ly personality that instantly makes you feel right at home. They were so patient and really took their time to walk us through the entire process, yet still managed to keep everyone in check and running smoothly. They were also incredibly thorough and made sure that they took each shot we requested. They promised us a few teaser pictures by the following Tuesday and actually had them up a day early. I would strongly recommend Shadowcatcher Imagery and I hope to have an occasion to use them again in the future!

d do not miss a beat. We have some classic photos from our wedding day that are def going on our wall. I highly recommend her for your wedding!! You will not be disappointed!

ey were warm, friendly, approachable and made me feel like we had known them for more than just a few minutes. We also brought along our puppy for some of the pictures who turned out to be a handful but they had no problems working with her and us. They have a great eye for beautifully composed pictures, and they most certainly are the creative minds I look for when selecting a photographer. I look forward to working with them again in the future. I most definitely would recommend them to any couple who is looking for a relaxed, fun, and carefree shoot with beautiful Pictures. Thank you Heather and Skip for such a great day yesterday :)

ped me with every step of the way (no joke, I had to email Heather to ask what order we walk down the aisle). Seriously, they went above and beyond for us. Not only that, but you get two photographers and an assitant! They truly know what it takes to make your wedding pictures perfect! Trust me on this, no matter what the quoted cost (which they always are reasonable)... its TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!

ing. Shadowcatcher has alot of options to choice from, like how long you want the for, what kind of photos you want, engagement photos, just lots of stuff. They also work fast and you get your photos fast afterwards. They are a bit pricey, but totally worth it, and like I said, there are a ton of choices to match any price range. I really loved working with them

on having one)I highly highly reccommend this vendor for any kind of photography needs!!

longs in a magazine. My husband was very impressed by how smoothly the photo sessions went. (He is not a man who loves to stand around taking photos!!) I have already had several friends who are engaged request their information. Shadowcatcher is the preferred photography vendor for the venue we used. It helped out so much that they were able to work together and accomodate our many picture requests and large bridal party. We just loved everything!!

got sick of taking pictures really really fast) They put up 25 amazing, finished pics the day after the wedding- it was really nice to get a taste before we left for the honeymoon!

sy going, patient and make sure they capture exactly what you are looking for. They truly added to our big day and will helped capture it so we can always remember the fun and love.

ments they captured. Truly the best you can find!

e very open and eager to our ideas and desired poses! They did capture some amazing shots!!!;I thought it would be great to have 2 photographers, and it was...except when they were both taking the same shot. A lot of the group pictures didn't turn out as well as I hoped since eyes are looking everywhere...they would have been better if we were all looking at the same photographer!

who got two angles to every shot.;They were great. Just make sure you're detailed with your shot list so you get all the pictures you want.

pricey but still better than a lot of photographers out there
