New Year and lots of news!!

I hope the holidays have been a fun and refreshing break for everyone! We're really excited about the new year and all of the possibilities that come with it. Before we get on to 2008, however, we have to brag on ourselves for a second. Blend Photography has been named one of the "Best of 2008" by OneWed.com!

Local Wedding Vendors

We've got a big year planned out and it starts with a bang. Tomorrow, Saturday the 10th, we'll be at the Civic Center in downtown Asheville participating in the Asheville Wedding Festival. Please come by and say hi. We love for brides that are interested in working with us to meet brides that we've worked with in the past.

We're also embarking on a close relationship with Palette's of Perfection , a complete wedding and events specialty boutique located on Wall street in downtown Asheville. Come by and see our display in the front window. Some of you may see a few familiar faces!

Ok, that's all for now, but be sure that you will be hearing from me very soon. Our first wedding of '09 is in a week!

Catching up with Toubab Krewe

So as an early Christmas present to all of you loyal fans and Ashevillians, we wanted to let you in on some shots of Toubab Krewe from their November 29th show at The Orange Peel . They were gracious enough to invite us along and gave us unlimited access from soundcheck to after the show. It was the cd release party for their new album Live at the Orange Peel and they really brought the energy for this preformance. We really love these guys and encourage you to go check them out and support an awesome hometown band. Enjoy the shots...

Peter Rocking the Party

Hi guys. Well, the holiday season is here and we have a much needed break for a couple of weeks. Saturday night we spent the evening with some great local photographers. Peter played Guitar Hero and made jello shots that looked like orange slices.


Thanks to Jill Schwarzkopf, owner of Realities Photography for hosting us, and to Regina Holder and the rest of the Pictage user group for organizing the event and being so welcoming to us. Some of these guys have really been great with the support and advice and we thank them.

So, we're going to be taking things easy for a few weeks. Happy Holidays to everyone and we hope to see you all on January 10th at the Asheville Civic center for the winter Wedding Festival. Until then, have a great Holiday Season.

Good times at Galina's

A few weeks ago we had the fortune of spending a day at Galina's Hair Studio in east Asheville. Galina's clients were great and made for perfect portrait subjects. Here's a little glimpse of what came out of that shoot.

Senior Portrait Time!

So here are a few fun senior portraits of a great young lady named Callie. Peter did a great job with this one and we're really prod of it. (It also certainly helped having a great model)

Busy October is finally over

... though we hate to see it go. October always seems to be the most popular month for just about everything in Western North Carolina and this year was no exception. We've arrived at November with a lot of pictures to process for all of you. Thank you to all of you who have made this wedding season such a great time for us. Here are some of our favorite pictures from October. Crystal and Matt were married on the 25th at Boyd chapel. We came away from that wedding feeling like we have a couple of new friends. These guys were really cool and their wedding was beautiful. We hope that you love them as much as we do.

New Studio

Hello all! Sorry that I'm so terrible about keeping this blog up to date. We've been busy moving our studio space. We're still in the Park Place building, but now we've taken over suite #110. It gives us a gallery space, a nice meeting room and a portrait studio. Peter and I also have managed to find a way to have separate office space. We've also managed to shoot seven events in the last three weeks. It's good to be busy, but it makes it hard to get pictures up on the blog. I promise to have something to show off very soon.
