Backyard Photoshoot Chapter 1

So, these are a couple of pictures of our friends Luke and Bru. There going to be getting married on October 5th, so expect to see a lot more of them. I caught up with them last night while they were pitching in to build a deck for a friends shower. I have so many pictures from this little shoot, but I wanted to go ahead and show these off. Plan to see more in the near future.

A Beautiful View

This is a quick portrait that I did of my friend Kristen from the top of Devil's Courthouse. I think everything about it is just really simple and pretty. Any aspiring photographers wondering how I got the "softbox" look outside, I was shooting with my 5d with one of Gary Fong's whale tail light diffusers. I hope you like it as much as I do.

Some cool local blogs and photographers

Hi guys, I'm in a blogging mood and thought that I would share some of our favorite blogs and photographers with all of you out there. First up is ashevegas, local photographer and blogger of some repute who always has a bounty of interesting posts in any given day. Next up is Edgy Mama who has really gained a huge following and has some pretty memorable posts. Now for a couple of photographers, Mike Belleme is a friend of ours who has been up to some pretty amazing stuff lately. You should definitely swing over and check out his work. One warning though, some may find Mike's Uncle Dirty thread a bit offensive. Lastly, check out the guys at Vellum Industrial Photography. Nathan has been a friend of mine for over a decade and it's really cool to see what these guys are doing in that sector of the photography world. Check them out, most of their work could be hung as art. I hope that gives you cubicle surfers something to check out on a dreary Tuesday.

I hate search engines

Hi guys. So this is probably going to open up the flood gates for SEO spam, but we are really having a fit trying to make the website assessable from Google. It's a notoriously difficult process, but we are really having a hard time. If you type "Blend Photography Asheville" in to Google, we still don't come up. We obviously want people to be able to find our webpage, so... help. I would like to stress, that this is not an invitation for third party SEO companies to flood us with email. We are only going to go with someone on a refferal basis, so trusted friends and clients... if you know someone that practices honest search engine optimization at an affordable rate, please let us know (and thanks for listening to my rant).

Erica's Beautiful Bridal

Hi Guys, We wanted to share a couple of pictures of the beautiful Erica. She'll be getting married in just a couple of weeks so you should be seeing more of her soon.


You may have also noticed that we added a few more galleries to the wedding section. If you haven't seen them yet, head on over and check them out.

Megan and Chris

Hi Guys, I just wanted to share a beautiful picture of Chris and Megan. This was later in the evening, right before sunset and the couple stepped outside for a little break from the crowd. This was just one of those pictures that falls into place. That sky is something that you can't plan for.

A Few Recent Weddings

Hi Everyone. I've got a couple of pics from recent weddings for you. The first is from this past Saturday. Chris and Megan O'Brien were married at Hominy Baptist in Candler with a reception at High Vista country club. It was a beautiful southern wedding, with lots of dancing and one bridesmaid with some serious ups.

She snagged that bouquet like Jerry Rice out the back of the endzone. I was impressed. Congrats to Chris and Megan.

We also wanted to share a nice moment from last month. Nicole and Thomas were married in Weaverville last month with a reception at On Broadway. Peter captured this nice moment after the ceremony.

congrats to the happy couple.

More to come soon!
