Westin Gaslamp Quarter, San Diego: Renee and Kevin Part II

Finally! We are able to bring you Round 2 of our Gala in the Gaslamp Quarter in San Diego! (And my Gala I mean Renee and Kevin's wedding...obviously!) This is up just in time to welcome these two love birds back from their honeymoon in St. Lucia! Congratulations again Kev and Renee, you guys are so awesome! Please enjoy, and you stay classy down there in San Diego :)

A big thank you again to the wonderful, the stylish, and the pensive (see photo) Maria Longhi for inviting Erin and I along to shoot with her! You'll see model Maria makes a guest appearance in the photos in this post. There was this red painting in the lobby that we loved and I had to snap a shot to put in my "Blackmail" folder!

Make it a great end of the week; you are loved!

Westin Gaslamp Quarter, San Diego: Renee and Kevin

It's been a whopping 12 days or so since our last post, and for that there is no excuse! (except the following, which are totally legit) Gavin Wade Photographers has been busy busy busy. Between juggling 4 other jobs between the two of us....yes I said four...we've been going at a million miles an hour. We've loved every minute of it! Although if I go too long without blogging, I start getting hate mail, evil looks, and even worse than that....the puppy-dog look! But enough about Erin! ( <3 you babe) .But you guys out there know what I mean. THE LOOK. I can't help but not rush to my laptop :)

However, we simply cannot wait to share with you Renee and Kevin's wedding from this past weekend down in San Diego! The ever-fabulous Maria Longhi invited both Erin and I to join her for the day; Erin was with Renee and the ladies while I was with Kevin and the boys! (our SOP for all of our own weddings as well!). As always, we came away having connected so much with our bride and groom; they were so much fun and just good people! Kevin works for Taylor Made and designs those awesome huge-normous drivers you see on the PGA. And Kev, you gotta call me when you make a driver that can get me 300 yards off the tee and cure my wicked slice!! (I believe in miracles)

Both Renee and Kevin got ready at the Westin Gaslamp Quarter hotel before hopping on the "party bus" and heading over to the church; a beautiful Catholic church which was downtown! We have so many images we want to share that we've decided to split this up into two posts so as not to overload everyone during the middle of the week! And since those puppy-dog eyes still have me intoxicated I can't help but brag about my girl and show you some of the great shots she took! I'll get mine up before the week is out. No worries, we'll get some ceremony and reception shots up soon!

So without further adieu, enjoy! Make it a great end of the week! Love life, love what you do, and have a blast :)

Ponte Family Estate and Winery: Megan and Jason

Helllloooo Everyone!! Ms. Erin here :)

Normally blogging is Gavin's thing because he loves it so much. But tonight I had to rip the keyboard out of his hands, give him the TV remote, and tell you all about the wedding I shot this weekend with Jeremy Lucero out at the Ponte Family Estate & Winery in Temecula.

It was such a great time! You see, Erin likes wine, and Erin likes shooting weddings. So this day was just too good to be true!

I loved the bride, Megan. She was so cute and such a goof ball; we definitely clicked and had a great time! Jason, with his super cool hair-do, was such a sweetheart. I was blown away by how calm and collected he was the entire day. You could tell there was no shred of doubt in his mind; he KNEW that Megan was it!

Before I go, I thought it was a cool little fun fact about Meg and Jason...their first date was on 04/04/06, he proposed on 04/04/08, and they were married on 04/04/09! How crazy is that?!

They met in college actually. Welllll, to be more specific they met in the college parking lot! It was raining and she offered him her umbrella...and the rest they say, is history! I was blessed to have the opportunity to capture their historic day on what was a gorgeous afternoon.

I'll let Gavin get off the couch now and return him to normal blogging duties....for now ;)
