Merry Christmas (and happy New Years resolutions)

Well, another year is gone and it's hard to believe. A lot has changed for us this year. We estimate that as a company we shot nearly 100,000 photographs this year. That, my friends is a lot of pictures. That also mean that we've been so lucky to have such wonderful friends and fans. You have supported us through the years and we thank you. Merry Christmas.

The studio will be closed until the end of the year, but we will still be available for appointments and would love to hear from all of you. This years New Years resolution #1 is to stay in better touch with all of you, including far more frequent updates to this blog and the Facebook site. We're also going to be launching a new site (hopefully) sometime in January so be on the lookout for that.

We love you all, thanks for letting us live our dream.

Megan and Bobby

Luke and I had the good fortune to shoot Megan and Bobby's wedding in late September. The day was rainy but that did little to change the moods of these two marvelous people. In fact, the rain just made everyone get a little closer and dance a little longer in the main hall of Pinebrook Manor .
Here are some shots from that evening. Enjoy!

The inflatable guitar was a very important part of the Wedding. Plenty of string-free solo action!

Rings and time.

In other news:
Fall Weddings are in full swing right now and the new studio is almost ready for move in. It looks like things are going to be very busy for the Blend Boys. But no worries, we've got this.

It's Official...

Blend Photography is moving to West Asheville! We've been holding back on the news, but the handshakes have been made, the lease has been signed and we are opening a brand new storefront studio on Haywood Road. The space is going to include a full portrait studio, gallery space, meeting and at least copy of Guitar Hero. We've also got a few exciting projects in the works... stay tuned.

Myra and Andrew

We've had the greatest time getting to know these guys. They were married on August 7th at beautiful Homewood here in Asheville. This wedding reminded me of the end of one of those awesome movies from the 80's. Dylan with Blazin' Sounds put down an awesome soundtrack, there were backflipping groomsmen and at the end of the night the Bride and Groom ended up onstage with a punk band with a mike in hand. Seriously. They got onstage and addressed the crowd at a punk concert. It was awesome.

Katie and Nick

Peter and I had the pleasure of spending an absolutely beautiful day and evening with this lovely couple. They were married on July 18th at The Cliffs at Walnut Cove in an amazing outdoor ceremony. The father daughter dance was certainly the most original that we have ever seen here at Blend. Thank you for sharing your wedding with us Katie and Nick!

Back to the good stuff... Jennifer and Michael

Jennifer and Michael were married at the beautiful Lake Lure Inn and Spa on June 28th. Peter really captured the beauty and happiness of the occasion and we're really proud of this wedding.
It was bound to look good with two people looking this good in a place that is this amazing. Enjoy the pictures.
