Santa’s gotta stay 6ft back too! We’re thankful to partner with , and to create a cheeky socially distanced Santa photo op... rapid covid tests, masks on, all outdoors, and of course 6ft social distancing... just in time for the new lockdowns! 🤣 This was our one holiday party of 2020.

In looking back at our fav events from the year, the Beam Suntory holiday party stands out for sure. This portrait says it all ... it’s one of our all time favorites. 😍

Here’s a fav wedding from the year so far.

We were particularly stoked to work with Lillian Phan on her wedding for two reasons… 1) She has been a wonderful supporter of us from day one (thank you!) and 2) We LOVED getting to photograph in the newly redesigned Saint Joseph’s Arts Society which was decked out in design galore by Ken Fulk. There’s not an inch of that venue that is not photo worthy!

We miss seeing you all! To help us cope in quarantine, we’re looking back at some of our FAV events this past year photographing some of our favorite people.

Earlier this year, we loved partnering with Metro Events, Pier 27, 29 & 35 as they launched Pier 27 as a venue to be available for stunning weddings in the future. A shout-out to Elle Inspired Productions and Chris Evans Events who show us how its done in the studio!

Colson here... Im coming out of my social media hole... It's been a heavy past couple weeks. First, I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy out there. Truly, this is what is most important. We've been quiet because, like many of you, we've had to make some really hard business decisions and figure out what the next step is... in a climate that is so uncertain. I know that many of you have had to do the very same thing. Although the lights may be turned off for the time being in the events industry, I want to acknowledge that MANY of you have been my "co-workers," friends, and clients for more than a decade. Some of my greatest friendships and joy have come as a result from working in this industry. I've spent 10+ years building a photography business and feel that now is the time to share... How I can support you during this time? What do you need? What encouragement are you craving? What learning resources are needed? What problems are you struggling with that could use an ear? I want to know. Comment or message me, I would love to hear from you and figure out a way to help. Finally, I want to acknowledge everyone who is working in medical professions to help people who are sick. Linda shares videos with me of what's going on in our hospitals and it truly breaks my heart. I want to let you know you are appreciated and, frankly, SO. F-ING. BRAVE. Thank you for doing the most impossible of work during this time. https://ift.tt/2JjCcUM
