Introducing our Love•n•Joy frame collection... {Denver Wedding Photography}

Tess and I have confirmed (firmly confirmed) we're pretty non-traditional when it comes to the world of weddings. We get really excited when a bride and groom make their wedding day their own, infusing their personalities into every detail and throwing caution to the wind. It's so easy to get caught up in the traditional events of a wedding without questioning if each element is really reflective of you, what you believe, and who you are as a couple. There is no right or wrong when it comes to your wedding. Being respectful of one another and each of your families is of course a primary concern. But PLEASE! Have fun with it! It's a celebration!

That being said, we decided from the get go that we wanted to offer our clients products that are unique and playful, with a vintage edge. We have been determined to find the best album company and frame company that offer products you cannot get in stores. These are custom made with love. :) We've even purchased a lovely high quality printer and professional grade, signature paper that we will be using to create one-of-a-kind prints from your wedding and engagement sessions. Some of the papers include a Velvet Fine Art paper (yes, it feels SO good to the touch), Exhibition Fiber paper, and a Hot Press Bright paper. The way these sheets hold the ink is gorgeous. We discovered them in a gallery display at the PDN expo in NYC and fell in love. Delicious. Schedule a consultation with us and you'll get to experience what good paper really is. Our goal is to continually offer boutique, fine art products that are handmade and showcase your photos in an original way. We're always on the hunt for the latest and greatest, so we'll post frequently this year on our must-see findings.

Let the first reeeeally cool Love•n•Joy product introduction of 2011 blog post commence!

We are now offering these oh so whimsical, funky, yet vintage-flair frames to our clients. As aforementioned, we are not your traditional photographers so it would never make sense to offer traditional frames, right?

These frames come in all different scalloped edged designs, sizes and colors. They treat the edges so they look worn and rustic. You can even double up the designs so that it is two cut out wood pieces stacked on top of each other with one single image framed inside. More on that later. I'll post photos of the full collection so you'll be able to see the variety of fun options.

Or maybe I'll just keep them all for myself. :)

Let us know what you think of our frames and please send any new product ideas our way! We want to know what YOU love too!

xoxo,

your Denver wedding photographers,

Eve + Ilya :: Lil Sneak Preview {Las Vegas Wedding Photography}

Okay...we're still in Las Vegas. But we just had to share a couple of fun shots from Saturday's wedding and today's Neon Museum + Nevada desert.

It was SO hard to narrow these down to a little sneak peek, but here you go! (As you can see, Eve and Ilya (pronounced Ill-ee-uh) are making all of our photography dreams come true in Vegas...hahaha)

Stay tuned for the full recap once we return to Colorado and have edited through the millionssss of photos we've taken here.

Naturally, Elvis crashed the wedding reception! It was a surprise and the guests got a big kick out of it.

Does this guy look familiar? He was recently in Katy Perry's "Waking Up in Vegas" music video! Can you spot him?

Lindsey & Colter...Downtown Denver Engagement Session {Denver Engagement Photography}

We met Lindsey & Colter at the Wine Loft downtown. They needed some liquid courage. Hey, we know it's difficult to be in front of the camera. Who are we to judge?? :) From there we wandered around LoDo photographing where ever we felt inclined. Lindsey & Colter are so fun to hang out with. They are such a playful and adorable couple. Can't wait for their wedding this June!

Bling bling

We ended the session in Larimer Square. Who doesn't love that section of the street?

 A big thanks to the Wine Loft for allowing us to photograph inside.

I love you, not for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. Roy Croft

Katie & Kyle...a sweet stroll through country Colorado {Boulder Engagement Photography}

Each blog updating event becomes more and more frustrating than necessary for us. We sit down with the intent to share recent work that we think is pretty cool, then blogger ruins everything. The alignment of the photos and text is sometimes off. The size of the images are confined to a small strip of space. We apologize for our blog looking a little helter skelter. But, you'll be happy to know we are completely revamping our blog in the next month and switching to Wordpress. What does this mean exactly? Larger images, easier to create/edit new posts, and the ability to use really dynamic Wordpress templates that can be fully customized (don't worry, we are hiring a professional to do this!) We cannot wait to share with you the new design!

Oops! Enough with the griping. I'm done, I promise.

Introducing Katie & Kyle! They are engaged and plan on marrying in 2012 but wanted to get going on an engagement session before Kyle departs to Afghanistan in May for military duty. We feel honored to have done this for them. And guess what! They are high school sweethearts (love that!) These two were so fun to work with and we hope their quiet, playful love resonates throughout the following images... P.S.- Colorado's beauty never ceases to fail us. We fully recognize and appreciate the 300 days of sunshine. :) Love, like sunshine, warms every moment...brightens every day.

 

You can't touch love, but you can feel the sweetness that it pours into everything. -Annie Sullivan

Holiday Photos {Ohio Family Photographers}

Hello everyone! Happy New Year!! I don't know about you but I'm so excited for 2011. So many new things for us and we can't wait to share. But you'll have to wait:)

While I was back in Ohio for Thanksgiving Chelsey and Kim got ahold of me to do some family photos of them with their siblings. Perfect present for their parents. I was so excited to photograph them. It was so much fun. Cold but fun:) I have to get my brothers to do this but that's like pulling teeth. One day. 

How cute are Kim and her sisters??

And Chels with her siblings...

I love that Mitchell is the only boy. And the youngest. :) He was such a good sport during the whole shoot.

Holiday photos new tag line is: making moms cry one present at a time. Both Chelsey and Kim's moms teared up after receiving the framed photos. Is it wrong to get so much satisfaction from hearing that? :) Keep that in mind and call us for Mothers Day. We'll set up some tear-inducing photos for you, too.

Here's to 2011 and all the great things to come!

Your Ohio & Colorado family photographers (& beyond),
Tess & Kimothy

Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us.
