oh my, winter's all gone and i barely had the chance to post on here!  we've been busy traveling lately, a mini trip out to the oregon coast in february and wppi in vegas (with a day-excursion to the grand canyon, yippe!) earlier last month - a blog of that adventure coming soon, i promise!  so, now that spring is finally here, time to get some blogging done.

this wedding is one of our most sought after wedding sample books when we meet with clients these days. it's adorable, woodsy, rustic, with a winery twist.  alicia and greg saw us at work at their friend's wedding the year before, and before we knew it we were meeting to discuss their big day. the day started out with a bit of rain, but in the end, it was a blessing because the filtered light and the post-rain high clouds gave us plenty of good filtered light to work with. we hope you enjoy this one!

it's so hard to keep up with the blog these days, but we're hoping to get more weddings on here soon!  here's one from last year that came to us somewhat last minute, and it's become one of our personal favorites. this happened to be the weekend right after the insane wind storm that swept across the midwest, knocking out power for days... their venue, the alley park nature education center, was one of these places. but these guys toughed it out, got emergency generators and had one heck of a homemade wedding. it was one of the hottest days of the summer, but that didn't matter. as you can see, everything came together for a beautiful day.  ps. how cool is it to get married under a historical covered bridge?

whoa, how are we almost one month into the new year already? we can hardly believe 2012 has come and gone. it was a year we definitely won't forget. aperture has grown exponentially. we've met some of the most amazing clients who've given us the opportunity to shoot in new york city, lakeside, in the woods, in a vineyard, on a vegan farm by lake erie, right under chagrin falls, as well as tons of other little picturesque towns across the midwest.

we've also taken up a few more personal projects this year. paul is now playing in two bands, and is setting up his screen printing studio. hristina has started to put together her darkroom, and is working on travel grants and setting up gallery exhibits for a series of personal projects for 2013.

we are so incredibly blessed with our family and friends, who are a force of constant love, support and inspiration. and a special thank you to all of our clients, past and present. we wish you all a new year full of happiness, wonder and absolute bliss. we couldn't do any of this without you... below are a handful of our favorites from 2012. h & p

 

happy holidays.
