Dear lovely couples, friends, photogs & blog-wonderers, we have some big news...
Trevor & I are heading out on a travel adventure beginning in January, and as a result, we will not be accepting any 2011 wedding bookings.
***UPDATE*** We are pleased to announce that we are now accepting a limited number of bookings for 2012! We will also be available for dates in October - December of 2011, for more information, please click here or contact us for availability.
It is official... Ambient Studios will be on hiatus for the 2011 season while we take some time off for our Honeymoon & to work on some personal projects abroad. We'll be traveling throughout India, Egypt, Eastern & Western Europe over approximately 12 months beginning in January.

Yes... we were engaged in April and married in July - and let me tell you, it was awesome! With a yellow accent and a vintage camera theme, we pulled it all together in an intimate ceremony and a rockin party, just the way we had envisioned!
Trevor & I decided that we had to share our invitations with you! We simply love love love the way they turned out...
As two passionate photographers we decided to try to turn our mutual obsession with photography into a theme. Since both Trevor & I enjoy shooting film on the side for personal projects it seemed only natural that we integrate this somehow into our day. (apart from actually supplying our photographers with film for their cameras of course!)
The result is a collaboration between Trevor & I and an invitation that took an assembly line of 5 to create. We had to make about 40 after all was said and done and I was lucky enough to have the help of my ladies and a little bit of wine! (Thanks girls!) It was tons of fun and completely worth it...
Guests received their invite in the mail, wrapped in brown paper & ribbon:
A few details of the film canister invitation:
Pulling the 'film' out revealed all the details guests needed about the day:
The guests seemed to love them and I thought we'd share our little DIY. A little something different, and a great precursor to our vintage camera themed day!

It is always so lovely to read a positive review from our clients... we are lucky to work with some of the sweetest, most adorable couples around! Jenn & Chester just posted this amazing review and we simply had to share it with you:
"My husband and I got married 1 year ago. Then, we temporarily moved out of the country right after our wedding, forced to leave printing pictures/albums for a while. We were just sitting down tonight to get going on that, and fell in love with our pictures all over again and were inspired to post a review.
We were pretty laid back wedding planners, choosing the first person that was reliably recommended to us for many of our vendors. But, with photography we were a lot pickier. We both felt that our pictures were the only thing we got to keep (aside from each other of course!) so that (finding someone who could really "capture" the day candidly) was where a generous amount of time, effort and resources should go. We combed a ton of websites and eventually met with 5-10 photographers. This was an important decision to us, and we can both be indecisive, but even after all those meetings, the choice was clear to both of us immediately. Trevor & Larissa had just started their joint company, so we didn't have a lot to go off of. But, what they did show us, was amazing. They were also very organized and professional but yet laid back and sincere/personal. And, we were instantly comfortable around them (which, for me was key, because I don't like getting my picture taken).
We also liked that we would get 2 talented photographers who knew how to shoot together and whose personalities and styles complemented one another so well. We weren't disappointed! They were like that through the whole process. We never had a moment of worry if they would pull through in any way. Never felt the need to check up on anything. They just did their thing the day of the wedding and a couple of weeks later gave us hundreds of pictures that truely captured our day. We can feel what the weather was like, what we and others were feeling, the fun atmosphere . . . And there are so many pictures of friends and family that are "so them", which, with us far away, are great to have. So, we got exactly what we wanted. Great candid pictures and a relaxed, positive experience to go along with them!"-Jenn & Chester
First of all, I cannot BELIEVE it has taken me this long to put this post together - between planning and the kick-off of the wedding season things have been pretty crazy around the office. But... better late then never, right? ;)

So, as you probably know already Trevor & I recently got engaged :D and as a result, we now have the pleasure of seeing things from the other side. This, of course includes the fun of planning, and putting together a wedding + party for our family and friends. So, it goes without saying that as photographers we're pretty picky when it comes to choosing someone we would feel comfortable standing in front of the camera for...

As some of you know Trevor & I just got back from an amazing trip down south to Kentucky where we enjoyed laid back camping and hit up some world class rock-climbing at The Red River Gorge. Between climbing in the 25 degree weather, camping, and meeting other climbers from all over the world it was shaping up to be a very memorable trip... and then Trevor went ahead and surprised me with a proposal!!!
It was perfect and completely us - as you can imagine the rest of the trip was amazing and we're already planning our return in the Fall.
We were excited to share the news with everyone (and I've been DYING to photograph my latest jewelry addition) so here are a few pics of the ring that Trevor so sneakily picked out and hid for almost 2 months. All I can say is GOOD JOB BABE! She's a beaut! (although I might be a little bit bias.) hehe.
