Beautiful day plus awesome people makes for a fun day! This shoot had a little bit of everything from girls doing their best vogue impressions to guys climbing cages. I have to say my favorite part of the day was when Josh and myself were able to walk Jeff and Amy around the beautiful gardens of Camrose Hills! Shots by the fire and the red house were my personal favorites, plus it always helps when you have great models to shoot!

Studio Move!

We will be moving the studio to downtown Stillwater over the next 5 days, so you might experience some lag on phone and e-mail contacts from us. For instance, I was sanding the floor of the new place from 5-10:30pm last night and really didn’t feel like doing anything afterward except clear my lungs, take a shower, and go to bed! If you have a meeting or shoot in the next week, we will be in contact with you as to which of our locations we will be meeting. Thanks for your patience! -Judd

Some of my favorite shots: The intricate lacework of Michelle’s dress, Gloria’s exquisite dress, the rings, Bruce loving the bouquet, the cool sky, my one (quota) cheesy shot of the bridal party looking at Adam and Michelle kissing, and the great and colorful symbolism of Jewish weddings! -Judd and Amanda

Senior Portraits at the Guthrie

Well, I think I’ve found a new favorite spot for senior portraits… Natalie had this classy black dress and we found some great light and reflections Wednesday night – fun images! They need a little more Photoshop time to get lightmaster Josh’s reflector out of the shots, but thought I’d post them anyway since they are so unique and we have two weddings tomorrow. This is our “Elite” session with travel to any location of the senior’s choice. -Judd

Our new studio!!

We are excited to announce that Studio J Photography and Videography is moving to downtown Stillwater! This past year we have grown drastically and quickly outgrew our home-based studio. Beginning next week we will be in The River Exchange Building on main street. Below are some renderings that Joe created. As we modify the space to compliment our workflow and personal style, the main design concept was to expose how photographers & videographers work. Look how you can wander through and witness portrait sessions, video editing and view all our beautiful images! Don’t worry, if our clients are nervous about onlookers, we will have screens to provide privacy! Make sure to stop by and check out our new space!!

Whew is about all I can – those North Dakotans can really bring some energy to a wedding reception! Or maybe it was the band, or the impromptu high end karaoke session from cousin John – can somebody leave a comment to tell us the name of that band? I want to put a link on there – John, you too if you have a musical website. It’s Monday night and I’m still recovering – we felt like we were “surfing” around the energy in the Metropolitan Saturday night and ended up staying a couple hours to dance. I think I needed to release some steam from trying to fix Jenn’s busted bustle (pic below) – she danced right out of the fastener, but not slowed just tucked the train into the back of her dress. 🙂

Some memories / images below: Bob and my favorite father/daughter dance ever – he and Jenn are soulmates and it was awesome I got the fun image with a slow shutter speed; the shot of everyone partaking of a beer during the kiss I’m pretty sure wasn’t my idea; the amazing candy bar at the reception; Amber’s poem toast; Krebs and the Josh Koosman mix-up; Andy’s Van Halen jump pose in the back is RIGHT ON; the discount party bus “poles”; the purple Farve jersey that showed up on stage with the band in the midst of a VERY hostile crowd; and just one of the most energetic & fun weddings we’ve been to in a long time – I think I remember Ted’s mom Sue doing a beer chug race with a couple ushers (she came in third place… -Judd, Jessi, Josh and Troy

I just want to say it was so nice to meet the real Josh Koosman! Jenn and I accused our friend Cori of RSVPing a fake name (Josh Koosman, who order the fish). We thought we had it all figured out and were dubbed, Thelma and Daphne (from Scooby Doo of course!) Well a couple of days later we found out that Josh Koosman was part of the photography team and had to apologize to our friend Cori for wrongfully accusing him. We were happy to meet the real Josh Koosman at the wedding and he even gave me his place tag so we will never forget the Koosman story! You guys did a great job at the wedding, and I will be calling you soon to set up an appointment for family pictures! – Deanna

Judd and crew-

You guys were AMAZING and seriously made the night! I appreciate all your work and I am so excited to see the photos. The band was Brian Kinney Band, which were also amazing!
To all brides: If you are looking for a wedding photographer, you must pick Judd at Studio J. He was amazing and so much fun! His pictures are well take a look for yourself, but I promise you will not regret you choice if you choose Judd! Thanks again to Studio…I am going to miss working with all of you! Don’t worry when Ted and I have kids someday we will drive down from Green Bay to see you for family shots!

So…seriously, the North Dakotans may have energy…but how about those Packers…Green Bay/Wisconsites(proper term?)and that song “We are Family” says it all! Had a blast! Ted and Jenn thanks for allowing your Aunts and Uncles (especially the Aunts) to dance, dance, dance!- And yes, we too were still recovering on Monday morning.- Aunt Lora and Uncle Dick.
