The Music Man {Mini-Session}

Brett and I had a great time Sunday evening spending time with our dear friend Mitch Matthew to celebrate his birthday. Mitch is the owner of a Columbus based company called Fermata Music, providing live music for weddings and special events in the Columbus, Dayton, and Cincinnati areas. Mitch himself is an amazing trumpet player and singer, not to mention the sweetest friend anyone could ask for.

We were talking Sunday, and I asked him if I could feature him on the blog sometime. We discussed doing a session and an interview to put on here to introduce himself to brides to be in the Cincinnati area. While we are planning a full shoot next month, we went ahead and did a little mini-shoot around midnight on Sunday. Brett and I were having so much fun, but then all of the sudden I announced that my inspiration was gone...I was about ready to fall asleep on the floor. :)

Good times...Good times.

You can visit Fermata Music online at www.fermata-music.com or you can find him on The Knot.

Possible Email Difficulties.

Well, the new site is in the middle of being launched. (YEAHHHHH!!!!!) If you know me well, you know that patience is a virtue that at times....I mildly lack. Man-o-man, has this been a test for me. During the next 72 hours there may be difficulty if you are trying to email me. If you email me and don't get a response, please also try Brett's email at brettzwo@gmail.com. After the site is up, our normal email will be jess@studio3z.com.

Be on the look out for the site, the cards to come in the mail (FINALLY!), and lots of fun shoots coming up. Also, be sure to schedule your spring photo sessions early, because it will fill up quick.

Just finished editing a wedding and found this new favorite. There is something about this I just love...Perhaps the symmetry, and the beautiful couple.

Enjoy the weekend everybody. Stay warm. :)

David and Laura's Beautiful Wedding...

David and Laura planned an intimate wedding very, very quickly. In fact, we received an email from them exactly 2 weeks before the wedding day! As soon as we heard the details, we knew it was going to be a really cool and different type of wedding. They chose a very beautiful restaurant in Mt.Adams (near downtown Cincy), called The Celestial, and the atmosphere was very romantic. We had never met them prior to their wedding day, and when Laura walked in....WOW!! She was stunning in her Greek themed gown and jewelry. Every thing about this wedding was so low stress, and simply beautiful.

Thank you two for choosing us. It was a pleasure meeting you, your families, and you both were so awesome to work with. Best wishes to you as the years go on. :)
