we made the news!



we were so excited when we found out last week that we would be featured on the front page of the Business section of the Ann Arbor News this past monday. We loved the way the article turned out. We have already received a lot of interest from it as well which was so neat! We really liked talking about our upcoming portrait ventures, etc.

Anyway, have a look!

You can read the whole article online here-minus photos (apparently newspaper doesn't scan well!):

We are PDN Top Knots Winners!



We were so thrilled to find out a few months ago that we placed two images in the annual PDN Top Knots (the new school of wedding photography) contest. PDN is short for Photo District News, and is the top magazine for the photo industry. This contest is huge and thousands of photos are entered every year. I am so amazed that we placed two!! We just got our copy in the mail yesterday, and were so excited to show everyone here on the blog!

If anyone wants to pick up a copy, you can buy it at any book store in the Photography/Art section of the magazines!

Anyway, here are the spreads from the magazine:




and the winning images a little closer:



a favorite of mine, and it even graces the top of our blog at all times! From Terra and Brian's wedding in October of 2006.





and my favorite shot from Darren and Kristine's wedding this past summer. You can see this hanging up in our studio huge as a 20x30 gallery wrap canvas-I adore it!

Vegas!



We are off tomorrow (3/25) for our annual Wedding and Portrait Photographers International photo convention in Las Vegas. In addition to doing tons of classes, we will also be doing some hopefully amazing photo shoots too-so look for those blogs when we return on the 30th.

When we get back we will have today's awesome wedding (congrats John + Heather!!!) blogged as well!

Please note we will be checking e-mail daily, but again, getting a hold of us via phone is not going to be easy. Please e-mail us if you need anything while we are gone.

All best,
Jess + Nate
