Michael + Jaclyn: 03.08.2013 (Vadnais Heights Commons)

‘Twas a beautiful March day and we had snowmobiles, helicopters, mom drinking beer from giant vase, groomsman dressed as bridesmaid and vice versa, pimpjuice, frostbite on groom, groom sneaking snowmobile cake bite before ceremony, an awesome venue, and just an amazing time for the first March wedding we have ever shot (out of about 200)! Mike and Jaclyn, what a fun group of friends and family you have – you guys are going to continue laughing for a long, long time. Thanks for inviting us to be a part of it and allowing us to capture some awesome images! Here is their Facebook album. This wedding wins best snowmobile and helicopter shot ever. 🙂 Fusion video coming soon with our first ever remote helicopter footage!! -Judd, Josh, Eric, and Emily

Special thanks to David and Allie from Sunbear on an amazing job on hair and makeup, Erik from Mediagraphy for the helicopter footage, and Liz at Capture Salon and Studio for hair space!

These images haven’t been retouched yet, but we are excited just to put them out there ASAP! 🙂

Historic Loft Renovation – for New Loft Event Center in Stillwater


As many of you know, we are undertaking a massive renovation of our 4000 sq ft. upstairs, The Loft at Studio J (www.StudioJLoft.com)! We are accepting bookings starting June 1, 2013 for private events up to 250 people. It is the perfect party spot loaded with character that can easily seat 125 people for a plated dinner, have a live band or DJ and a fully functional photo booth as well!

Anyone that would like to help with the Loft historical preservation, please go to www.savetheloft.com (link below). We will be adding a front lobby to our downstairs so there will be a main street entrance to The Loft! We also need to replace the entire floor as well as add bathrooms, a bar, and wheelchair lift so we need a little help! All donations will receive HALF of their donation in a gift certificate to the studio. So, donate $500 and receive a $250 gift certificate! All donations (any amount!) will qualify for a raffle for a free iPad and the top donor will receive a portrait session and canvas wall grouping valued at $2000!

Booking rates start at $350 for weekday and $600 for weekends.

Visit www.StudioJloft.com for more details!
Visit our Facebook Page to see the progress of the construction starting in March, 2013!
Visit www.savetheloft.com to donate to the cause and for a chance to win the iPad or $2000 set of wall canvasses of your family!
