Been just a little busy around the studio, being as we pretty much blogged everyday a couple weeks back we thought we needed a couple days off from the ole blog. Not really sure how to describe the past couple weeks, the days seem to be all blurred together in a fashion that is mildly comfortable. For starters we've been in the process of working with a local construction company that is in the process of changing their image and PR material, cool company that's gonna have a fresh look.  

Next up we created some images for Arthur De Vany a professor of mathematics at UCI for his upcoming book.

Then Trish designed an awesome set in the studio for a shoot we did, trust me your gonna want to see these images once we post them....

Then while we were shooting an assignment for Smithsonian we meet "Father Time" and to top it off we just wrapped an assignment with Forbes, so the nut has been pretty full........

Wanted to post this little surprise we found the other day in Smart Money Magazine. Couple months back we were hired to capture the Las Vegas Mono Rail for Smart Money, once we landed the assignment the ideas were flowing and this is what we came up with. We're pretty proud of this image as it was a total team work effort, from driving 50mph to shooting with our camera mounted to the roof of our car, it was awesome to say the least, I'm just surprised we never got pulled over....... We also just finished up some work for Bloomberg, Grazia, and IT Magazine, needless to say things around the studio have been crazy and we're loving every minute of it.....

Last week we had the wonderful pleasure of shooting photos with Mrs. Robert Mondavi of the Mondavi wine family. Our fabulous friend & client Shannon, pictured here with Mrs. Mondavi and Genevieve, hosted a company event featuring the wonderful winemaker's wife. It was a lovely afternoon so we wanted to share just a handful of the pics cause it was a great day for us too as we are big wine fans!

Let me start off by saying we love wine, the taste, the smell, the entire process from the grape to the bottle, the process is truly an art and this is why we were very excited to photograph Mrs. Robert Mondavi yesterday in Sage at the Aria. Great group of folks, welcoming, inviting and best of all great wine... The entire afternoon just made us that much more excited to visit Napa the end of summer, not only to taste some wine but to capture a wedding for some great clients, stay tuned...

Posted some running pics the other day, well below is another part to the project we were shooting, kinda fun and lots more of this kinda stuff headed your way.... Just a quick rough taste, we'll post the full version once it's fully edited.  

On another note we now have a dog with a cone, been trying to figure out where the ice cream goes?

So, as we haven't posted much for the past week or so, just wanted to give everyone a heads up on what we've been up to....  
 
Our incredible album company asked us to shoot images for their new Marketing campaign and most of you have previewed those beautiful images already, but as we got to working for them and creating their images, we learned that really, as a company, they knew they wanted a cool modern branding campaign to accompany these images, but weren't quite sure about which direction they wanted to go....so, we opened another door and mentioned to them that we also own a marketing company and that we'd be glad to help them create and shape their new brand....and another big project was born....we created their new company logo and individual brand logos, banner looks for their booth, their brochure, business cards, photos and now our united vision came to life at WPPI this week... Enjoy!

Never a dull moment around here, been busy shooting and working on all sorts of stuff. Those that follow us know we not only photograph weddings, but we do a lot of work in the editorial and commercial fields of photography, both feed off our style of wedding images giving them a very different feel. So we thought it only proper to show some of the other stuff we've been shooting.  
 
First up the Caveman, talked about this a couple weeks ago and here is a quick little pic from our shoot.  

Next up we did a shoot for Slam Magazine, we've worked with them several times in the past and they are always a true joy to work with, not to mention we love shooting athletes. Just a small taste of what's happening around here, have a great day.

You might remember these guys from awhile back, well one of the images we created for them is running in this month Digital Photo Pro magazine, looks pretty cool.  
 
Sorry for the lack of blog posts, things continue to be very busy around the studio, big and fun things are always happening, more at you next week, until then have a great weekend.  
 
J&T

The past couple days we headed back to our roots in the photography world, both of us got our start in photography working in some way in the outdoor adventure world, from shooting to marketing, to being athletes. Any and every chance we get we step back out of the box and head back into our former world and this time it was skiing. Trish was hooking it up all over the place, tossing backwards 360's, dropping off 30' cliffs, and working her magic for the camera.  
 
It might look like fun but it was actually work...... Below is a couple quickies...  

One of the best things about being a photographer is meeting with and working with people, we love connecting with people if only for a moment in time, we love hearing stories.  
 
Stories help us connect to the subjects we photograph, it helps us mold our ideas and gives us a better understanding of who we are photographing, stories we just really love them stories. Anyway Kevin Mitnick's got stories, we recently photographed him for BusinessWeek and Small Biz Magazine, really interesting and nice guy.....
