A few weeks ago we had the immense pleasure of taking the photos of Jason and Rachel. We were supposed to be taking pictures of their hot air balloon ceremony, until the winds picked up and we got an email from Rachel explaining that the balloon had been canceled last minute! They secured another balloon in Palm Springs- about a 2 hour drive from Temecula, but unfortunately the balloons were significantly smaller than in Temecula, and we couldn’t join them. We were super bummed, but we got together with them a few days after their wedding to do a portrait session in the wine country of Temecula- where their balloon ride would have been. This was a unique shoot for us as Jason and Rachel are both deaf. The 4 of us trekked off into the wine country, me using the little sign I could scrounge up from the deep depths of my brain from 7th grade American sign language class, coupled with a pad and paper were all we needed! It was a lot of fun! Maybe one day we’ll get another opportunity shoot a hot air balloon wedding. Congrats Jason and Rachel!
