Hand-Tinting Effect

This is going to turn into a cool canvas.... Ellie Ahmann is a superb dancer at the Hennepin Center for the Arts and her mom commissioned us to do a portrait, which we will be printing on high-quality artist's canvas. What is really fun is using paintbrushes in Photoshop, so I have been experimenting with different effects. I would love to see this piece life-size, wouldn't that be cool? If you have an idea for a beautiful wall piece, let's chat. Through the end of the year, all wall canvases are 20% off.

Josh and Kim

Saturday Josh Kluge and Kim Krueger tied the Knot at Lake of the Isles Lutheran Church in Minneapolis with a reception at the Calhoun Beach Club. Kim had wished for snow to compliment their Christmassy "Fire and Ice" theme, and she got it in spades. Kim is in public relations for US Bank. Josh is a legal recruiter for Adams and Martin Group. Their ceremony was the best of tradition - a candlelight service with gorgeous classical music. Kim looked like a snow princess in her elegant gown and gorgeous bouquets by Richfield Floral . At the reception, the Christmas trees were hung with ornaments bearing their names - everyone was asked to take one home. One of the games was questions about the couple picked out of a bag, with answers provided by the guests. Everyone apparently got home safely despite the six inches of new snow fouling up traffic. Josh and Kim are in Mexico right now soaking up a very different weather pattern. We wish them all the best! Click on any image to open in a larger window.

Twin City Bridal Directory Cover Shoot

Yesterday we joined Bruce Vassar and Matthew Trettel, "The Wedding Guys" from the Twin City Bridal Association for a fun shoot for the cover of the 2008 TCBA Directory. The setting was the lobby of the cool Graves 601 Hotel in downtown Minneapolis. Bruce brought in trunks of gorgeous 2008 wedding gowns from Vera Wang, Reem Acra, Peter Langer, Elizabeth Fillmore and Le Spose Di Gio of Italy. They were gorgeous and set off beautifully by the lobby's LA-style architecture. One of our images will be used on the cover of the 2008 TCBA Directory, available in January here. Thanks Guys!
