Canyon View Dining Hall Wedding – Shanti Duprez Fine Portrait Photography

Wedding Photography at Canyon View Dining Hall, San Ramon, CA / Arturo and Vanessa

Posted on October 9, 2013 | by Shanti

Holy cow, its almost been a year since this blessed day… I am finally catching up on some blogging. Since this day, I have also had the pleasure of capturing their beautiful baby girl too. Such a great couple and now such a great family!

Vanessa and Arturo chose a love bird theme that they integrated into all the details of their wedding day. The venue, Canyon View Dining Hall, is nestled into the hills of San Ramon. Coordinated by Tony White; from invitations, to decorations, to the beautiful flowers by La Martine Florals, it truly was all about these love birds.

I think my favorite part of this wedding was stumbling upon this beautiful golf course that was untouched by golfers during the sunset hour. And what made it even so much more perfect was the site of a bird house nestled into some foliage that made for the perfect backdrop for their amazing shots. Now I mentioned stumbling because this golf course was right below the venue, and seemed relatively easy to get to… unless you were a beautiful bride in a wedding dress and some heals… and this is why I love Vanessa… she simply kicked off her shoes and was ready for the adventure! Thank you Vanessa (and Arturo) for being such an awesome couple to get to know.

Shanti was the photographer of our dreams for our engagement pictures and our wedding! For our engagement pictures, I sent her a few ideas, but she really brought it to life and we couldn’t have loved them more! She is SO on top of everything and made us feel SO comfortable throughout the 2 hour session. For our wedding, at Jacuzzi Family Vineyards in Sonoma, we couldn’t have asked for a more professional, AMAZING photographer! Shanti and her team were top notch and I can’t say enough about her! They came to where we were getting ready, were SO on point with the timeline and all the little details and followed my now husband and I around like a hawk! We had talked about various group pictures and different locations at the vineyards and she made sure that EVERYTHING was captured! I cannot recommend Shanti and her team enough! We cannot wait to see all of our wedding day photos and to use her for other photos down the road! You’re the BEST Shanti!

This is an honest review, no glorification here whatsoever: Shanti is amazing to work with and highly professional. We have worked with her for over 13 years, beginning with our engagement photos all the way to a recent family photo shoot on the beach in June. You can see her portfolio online, so it’s obvious that her craft is unquestionably excellent….but what you can’t tell is how organized, professional, yet comfortable to work with. Shoots are on time, orderly and organized. Particular shots you asked for? She’ll not only get those, but she’ll sneak in some unexpected shots that capture your moments forever in time. Got kids? No sweat! Shanti is a pro with all ages. In fact, she just did an amazing job of capturing my 70 year old mother with her 8 grandchildren ranging for toddlers to teens…in the sand no less!!! Everyone looks amazing thanks to Shanti because she is so personable and easy to be with. Orders are filled promptly and as expected. You will not be disappointed with the quality of prints and framing done by Shanti. If you’re looking for off the charts customer service, unquestionable quality of photography and professionalism, look no farther.
