thanks for visiting the blog of STUDIO6.23 , a.k.a. ben and mindy peterson.

this is our wall for posting favorite pics from recent weddings or kid sessions. but somehow, a bunch of other randomness finds its way here as well.

we got married in 2000. makes it simple math to remember how long we’ve been married. and we’re crazy about our three kids.

i guess that’s why we shoot weddings and kids. it’s what we know — and love!

to keep up with our work or a bit of the peterson craziness, enter your email below or click the little squares that look familiar to you.

seriously……. where do i begin??? when mandi, a graphic designer in chicago called me to discuss the details of their wedding, i got butterflies. we chatted it up forever on the phone and i knew i loved her from the beginning. our first time meeting this awesome couple was the night before their wedding since we had not done an engagement session with them. we clicked instantly and we loved seth + mandi from the minute we met them!!!!! no joke.

mandi is BEAUTIFUL, full of life, stylish, talented and pretty much the sweetest thing ever. and then there is fabulous seth, (who also works in design), who is kind, fun, authentic, so GQ and an all around ROCK STAR!!! :) and it didn’t stop there. all of the people that surrounded them at their wedding were also incredible. there was so much joy, laughter and love at this wedding, when the night was over…. we all wanted to do it again!!! just a few of my favorite highlights from the day: the relationships, their first time meeting, the hand-made details and swanky designs, the crazy dancing and crowded dance floor all the way through the LAST song (‘my life would suck without you’), a dance-off with george and laura, the way seth + mandi looked at each other, and the love that was everywhere.

we were so honored to be part of your wedding….. and that is exactly how we felt…. part of your wedding day!!! and now we are so blessed to call you friends. MUCH LOVE!!!! and now for the good stuff…….. enjoy!!!

    Hey Mandi and Seth,
    Thanks so much for sharing the awesome pics. Ben and Mindy did a fabulous job! It was fun to relive some of the special moments of the day through their great pictures. I can’t wait to see more of them. I love all of the pictures for different reasons, but I especially love the one of you and Seth in the field, the b/w close-up of the two of you, the color shot by the barn where you are facing forward and Seth is looking at you is spectacular, the two of you on the bench just chilling and the b/w close-up photo of you is absolutely stunning. You and Seth make such a beautiful couple in more ways than one! Hope to see you soon! Hugs & Kisses, Aunt Diane

mindy is having a blast out there, but also working VERY hard on editing weddings, sessions and taking pictures!!!!! so when she returns at the end of the week……. we will have some serious blogging to do! :) for now…… here is a sneak peek from the session she did with ryan + heidi’s family. can you say CANVAS, please?!!!!!

    I have decided that I will come to you guys for big events in my life that will involve a photographer. But that’ll be a few years because I’m only 19 :)
