Forgive me if I am little punchy – this was my last wedding of 2008! I could not asked for a better send off though. Also, punchiness usually means a HUGE blog post – my powers of editing are weakened from so many awesome weddings this year.
My lovely, lovely couple Erica & Josh were married at Star Hill Ranch this past weekend. I adore these two! They were last seen here being adorable in their engagement photos and they are also pals with Adrienne and Garrod, two other really amazing people, who referred me.
The event coordination was by Becky ( & Lorena & Sarah) of Something to Celebrate and and I will again state my case for (if the budget allows) hiring a Wedding Coordinator. It’s really one of the best decisions that you can make and will make things so easy on you during the planning process and especially the wedding day.
Congratulations you two – I am beyond thrilled for you. Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your day.
Enough blabble – let’s see some images! (Full vendor info at the bottom of the post – trust me, you’ll want to know)

The raddest flower girl of the year.
Their officiant was an old friend and she was great! Look at her face as well as Josh’s when Erica was coming down the aisle. Sarah, nice work!
Portrait time.
So I stumbled upon Table 8 (Table “Ocho” as the cool kids called it) playing “Apple Roulette”. It’s a bit involved to explain here. The ‘winner’ is in the center there.

So are you as excited as I was about this set list from the awesome band?
Hora! Loooove it!
So….good Hora huh?
Double dutch action.
The Band (The Fatal Attractions) was fabulous. There was a full dance floor all night. Do you need an 80′s cover band? Then you should hire them.
The drummer (Hi Benji!) also served as a Groomsman in this wedding.
Sweet ride

Wonderful as always Shannon. My favs are the one in front of the church and “the dip”.
What I love about that dip photo is that it was totally spontaneous and just happened while everyone was dancing. They are so cute.
another wonderfully shot wedding! great job Shannon! I knew despite us not being able to make it, you’d do it full justice!
Beautiful! Erica was a stunning bride (as I knew she would be). I particularly love the sunset portraits.
We love E+J! Congrats to you both and what a great way to end 2008!
Shannon & Bonnie – you guys rock!
xo, Becky
great shots! my fave is the dancefloor dip. i love that none of the standers-by notice it, but you do.
congrats on a great wedding-filled 2008! here’s to an even better 09.
Wonderful work as usual! Beautiful wedding and I love all the uses of light (sun and flash)! Great work and way to wrap up 2008! Hurray! : )
Awesome photos Shannon! Hora pics always crack me up
I know – I love the Hora. The Danger! The Excitement!
These are awesome. They were blessed to have an amazing Photographer shoot their wedding.
Thanks you Lisa! You’re a peach.
Shannon and Bonnie;
