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.















Venue: My Beloved Homewood

DJ and MC: Blazin' Sounds

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.








Thanks for your support

I just wanted to thank all of you for showing us such overwhelming support these past two weeks. Your kindness (and a lot of help from American Express) have gotten us up and running again. The studio now has a shiny new alarm system and the windows no longer open, but that is a small price to pay for piece of mind. We're going to be shooting a lot over the next few weeks to break in our new gear so any of you that happen to be photogs (or always wanted to learn) get in touch. We are all about shooting with friends.

Burglary

Hi everyone. By now many of you know that our studio was burglarized sometime on the evening of Sunday the 26th. The criminals got away with three camera bags with a lot of stuff in them.

Peter and I debated whether or not to put this out to our clients, friends and community or just to leave it a Police matter. We have decided that burglarizing a small business (or any business) is a community issue and so the community needs to know. We also want the individuals that committed this crime to know that this is not something that has been forgotten. They will get caught.

On that note, I am personally offering a $500 reward of honest money to anyone who can provide information that leads to the arrest of the individuals responsible for the crime.

To all of our clients past, present and future. We love you and thank you for the support that you have offered us this week. Our priority is to be there for you and to preserve your memories in a beautiful and enduring way. I want you to rest assured that YOUR PHOTOS ARE SAFE. No computers were stolen or lost and the photographs are remotely protected regardless. The cameras that were stolen are in the process of being replaced and we will be back at full operating capacity by mid next week.

I am writing this against the advice of many, but I think our community needs to know what is going on and we would be grateful for those that keep an eye out for anyone in the sudden possession of Canon professional camera equipment.

Once again, thank you all for supporting us in this. The next post will be more cheerful I promise.
