This is a pretty exciting blog post for us…
First off I just want to thank all our fantastic past and present clients, blog followers, friends, family and all my supportive and awesome photographers that we hang with. 2009 was a successful and fun year for Jeff and I and all you guys made it all possible. We are looking forward to seeing what 2010 brings us! Okay..I am done with the sappy stuff. lol
Secondly.. we have changed our look! We have a new LOGO and color scheme!!! Yay! Our wonderful designer Ashley from I Struck Media created one we both love! It’s quite a process and I have to say Ashley has been FANTASTIC! The logo is basically a graphic interpretation of a “love knot” but it also has a hint of an eye shape and a camera lens. The font is easy to read which is a feat because our name has so many vowels and the two little red dots symbolize Jeff and I in Starbucks red! I heart you Ashley! She is also designing all our marketing material and came up with some fabulous materials and ideas for business cards etc. This has been a wonderful experience for someone like me who doesn’t like so much change all at once! LOL
Thirdly we came up with a cool idea of doing a “interview” per say of our couples to go along with their blog posts! I love reading and learning more about our rock star clients and thought our blog followers might like it too! We love our couples and getting to know them even more is so awesome! We enjoy what we do not only for the photography but for all the friends we meet along the way. Take a look below to see our first post like this….
A little background on these two…
Elle and Jason met at Collingwood elementary school when they were just little. You remember way back then?… when boys had cooties? They also grew up blocks away from each other. How cool is that? Well fate had it they they were meant to be together and here they are many years later getting married this summer. The are both living in Vancouver B.C. right now and flew into Calgary for their engagement session in December..the crummy part was it was -34 without the windchill. It was seriously cold..I had no idea if our cameras could handle that kind of cold, they did and so did we! I still can’t believe they were up for shooting outside…haha we love you guys for that. So in love and cute together, here is their Q&A.

When’s the big day? July 8th, 2010. Turns out it is also the day of Elle’s grandparents’ 60th anniversary!
How did you meet? Jason’s sister became friends with Elle in the 1992/1993 school year when they were in grades 2 and 4 respectively.

During that time, they realized there was something between them they couldn’t deny Two weeks later they called it official.
How did he/she propose? When Jason was in Vancouver visiting Elle he made sure she got off of work early. He then took Elle to Lynn Canyon Park in North Vancouver.
