We did our children's Christmas pictures with this studio and were so pleased. They were patient with our children and understadning of special needs. We will use them in the future for sure! read more

I had a 90s theme birthday party for my 40th and from the very beginning knew I wanted a photobooth to recreate the Olan Mills craze of that era. I contacted numerous photographers and Heather seemed to get it right away! She suggested backgrounds and such to help me achieve just what I was looking for. Communication was great and price was just right! Everyone who used the photobooth had a blast and all the images came out absolutely great! I actually regret not keeping it for another hour as so many people missed it. My only gripe though was that Shadowcatcher was hired until 8pm, but about 10 til they had already packed up the bench and most of their stuff. I did get the link for all image downloads very quickly though and all the images are great. I would definitely consider hiring them again in the future. however I would just be aware of the contracted times and maybe add a bit of buffer. I assumed service until a certain time meant THROUGH that time, not completely wrapped up by then. read more

Definitely 5 stars and would highly recommend them to everyone looking for top notch photographers. Thank you again for making our day even that much more special!! You are the best!! read more

I looked for a few months and chose Heather & Skip to do the photography for our wedding. I loved the style and creativity! The two of them were at the wedding venue before we were and were taking pics the minute we walked in. They didnt miss a thing. Heather makes you feel so comfortable and her assistant is awesome too! I am going to use her for boudoir photos next. She is amazing! Thanks Heather & Skip! read more

I had boudoir photos taken with Shadowcatcher before they had the separate Shadowcatcher Boudoir so I did my own hair and make up. My experience was a good one, and the photos turned out great! I thought the prices were reasonable, and the quality of the coffee table book I got for my husband is excellent! I would love to do this again and get the full Shadowcatcher Boudoir experience. I would recommend Shadowcatcher to anyone! read more

Picking Shadowcatcher as your photographer is a no brainer! Heather and Skip have a passion for what they do. They have no limitations in creativity. They are very friendly with positive attitudes. Their work is stunning and well worth their pricing, which happens to be very reasonable. I will definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone. Heather and Skip, you guys rock! Thank you! read more

I have had the pleasure of working with AND having family portraits shot by Shadowcatcher Imagery since 2005! First on family portraits - amazing and they captured our family perfectly (even the baby and dog)! I am a wedding planner and it is always a pleasure when working together on events. Heather and Skip are so down to earth and their photos are amazing! In the pre planning stage, they truly get to know the couple and also create a timeline for photography which is extremely helpful. They do not just show up expecting things to fall into place and this really helps the overall flow of the day. They have fun personalities and so quick to get photos back which is great! read more

All 3 of the photographers were AMAZING!! Heather and Skip and the assistant ( I can't blv I am blanking on her name, I am sorry)!! I switched from a San Diego to Oceanside wedding, 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. read more

I took my 2 year old son to get his birthday pictures done. They did such an amazing job! They are very good with kids and the pictures turned out incredible! They had different props and poses that were not difficult for my son, he had so much fun with the assistant and made him laugh the entire photo shoot. I am definitely going back soon for a family session and a couple session. The pricing was great, I reccomend this place. read more

A photographer that will throw themselves on the hot concrete to photograph is a hard core photographer! Hats off Heather and Skip! Acrobatic movements and an eye for capturing the moment is awesome! We are extremely satisfied and will continue to recommend you. The work is artistic, the images captured are extraordinary! Working with them is easy. Love, love, love them! Will post pictures so anyone can see for themselves. read more

Heather Middleton is a real artist. We took our litter of 3 Dalmatian pups to Heather & Skip's studio in Escondido for a photo shoot before we sold the pups to good homes. They were patient with us (we were an hour late on account of traffic). They spent several hours with our rambunctious little puppies and they had all the props to manipulate and pose them just the way they needed to get the perfect images: each puppy separately; all together; playing; sleeping; the whole nine yards. THE PHOTOS WERE ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. And their prices were reasonable and they were generous with us afterwards. I can't say enough positive things about these folks. read more

Heather, Skip, and Kendra are the best people to work with, hands down. If you need a photographer, you should look not farther, because if you do not work with this team, you will 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. read more

Heather & Skip were such a pleasure to work with! When my husband and I took our engagement photos with a different photographer, we learned that we were extremely camera shy and uncomfortable 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! read more

This husband and wife team is the BEST! They had my husband and I cracking up the entire night. For the most of the reception we didn't even notice them, but when Heather sent us teasers a week later we realized just how sneaky they were because they truly captured gorgeous unexpected pictures! There work speaks for itself and they are awesome to work with! If your looking for a fun photographer, your search stops here! :) read more

I met Heather at the Bridal Bazaar in 2010, and had been wanting to have a vintage pinup-style photo shoot with her ever since! I finally got my chance today, and I am so happy that I did!! She was friendly and EXTREMELY helpful! Heather helped me to pick the right outfits and accessorize appropriately. She was more than just a photographer - she was also a FABULOUS director for my photo shoot! She was incredibly supportive, patient and helpful with getting the right pose for the perfect shot. Her assistant was PHENOMENAL! She kept an eye on every little detail of the shot and made necessary adjustments to keep me looking great! I paid the extra $50 for hair and makeup, which was definitely a good decision - Brenda did my hair and makeup PERFECTLY! I wanted a retro pinup look, and she absolutely nailed it. I could not have been happier with my overall experience. I can't wait to see my pictures, but after looking through Heather's past work, I KNOW I won't be disappointed! read more

What can I say about Heather and Skip at Shadowcatcher Imagery other than they are simply the best photographers ever and were a pleasure to work with for my wedding!!! I'm an extremely 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...we can't wait to see the full set of photos they were able to shoot! 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!!! :) read more
