I was just going through some pictures from Abbie and Eric's wedding last night and came across this image and couldn't help but post it.  They had a beautiful evening wedding at the Semple Mansion and this just epitomizes the feel I got.

Ceremony:  Rice Park 
Reception:  James J. Hill Library

We had so much fun at Andrea and Milyon's wedding.  Everything seemed to fit our style to a T!  It was the perfect blend of fun and classic elegance!  The day started with Milyon and his guys getting ready at Heimies Haberdashery, while Andrea and her lovely ladies got ready at the St. Paul Hotel.  After meeting at the stairway in the St. Paul Hotel, we were off for their perfect outdoor wedding at Rice Park.  The evening finished across the street at the James J. Hill Library Reference Library.  Needless to say, the couples guests were treated to a quintessential St. Paul experience complete with plenty of it's history. 

Be sure to check back later for a short video we took from the day, in the meantime here are some highlights from their gorgeous wedding!

This past summer we did a really fun engagement session that we wanted to share.  Talaine and Jeff were planning a lakeside wedding and reception and wanted to incorporate that feel into their engagement session.  They decided on a picnic followed by a canoe ride.  We were eying the weather all day as clouds were rolling in and out.  We ended up dealing with some drops but were treated to a great afternoon all around. 

One of the things that we have offered since the beginning of Staja Studios are engagement guestbooks.  When we started this, we actually couldn't find a place to print and bind them the way we wanted.  After two to three years of printing and binding them ourselves, we finally found a place that did the job the type of job we were looking for.  We have now been using VisionArt for the past few years for these books and couldn't be happier.  They are printed on enhanced matte paper so they can be signed with a standard pen and look fantastic. 

In closing here is Talaine and Jeff's book.  All the guestbooks are custom designed incorporating your engagement pictures.  They include a blank side on page one that we mount your invitation to, white space for guests to sign and leave messages (similar to a yearbook) and also include a spread at the end where you and your fiance can leave one another your own special note, message, write your vows, etc.
 

Here is a preview of Jennifer and Ryan's beautiful wedding this past weekend!  Do they not look like they enjoyed the day!
