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!

this was the perfect way to end our 2009 wedding season…in la jolla, california with the amazing drew and rochelle! mindy had only been to california one time before and it just happened to be to la jolla — which pretty much became one of her favorite places on earth. (i can still hear her asking …”why don’t we live here, ben?”) so when drew and rochelle called about a wedding in la jolla, let’s just say we were more than excited!!

drew was actually an old friend…I lived down the hall from him in college, and mindy got to know him through soccer connections. and then rochelle became an instant friend when we drove up to laguna to have dinner with her family our first day in california.

rochelle knew she wanted a rooftop wedding… and she found the perfect pink vintage hotel right on the water in la jolla. (heck, we could hear the sea lions barking while we were crashing in our room at night). and you should’ve seen what she did with the place!!! perfect flowers all over the place, a white tent for dancing, swank lounge chairs… you couldn’t help but feel cool just being there.

drew and rochelle….thank you, thank you, and thank you for inviting us to be a part of your day! it was so beautiful, and the two of you are SO wonderful together. can’t wait to see you again!! and now, here’s some of our faves from your perfect day….

    AHH what epic images. those bouquets, the flower girl (so perfect!), gorgeous couple, stunning details. so, SO beautiful!

MAD HOT!! beautiful, stylish, bold, sassy, fun, outgoing, loving…… downright FABULOUS!! how else could i ever describe my dear micki and her debonaire don?!!! we met with micki for the first time to chat about her wedding and we were ‘insta- friends’. :) she came with two of her bridesmaids (whom i also adore) and poor ben had to sit through the four of us chatting away….. for a LONG time!!! ever since then…… a friendship made in heaven. micki has also done my crazy hair like a rockstar, since she is the most fantastic hair designer! so to all of our brides….. if you are looking for some seriously awesome up-dos for your wedding day or just someone to do your hair in general…… check out micki at www.strandshairsalon.net. *commercial over. :)

don + micki had a special time when they met before the wedding (which we love!). after they spent a few minutes alone, we piled in with the wedding party and headed downtown for some photos. what a crazy crew of friends they have, which makes for some serious fun during the day! :) the ceremony was beautiful and the reception following was a PAAAARRRTAY!!! micki designed and made all of the details herself (with the help from family and friends) and they transformed the masonic temple on fulton into a masterpiece! one of my favorite parts of the night was when ALL of micki’s girlfriends surprised her by busting out pom-poms and singing and dancing around micki to the tune….”hey micki”….. hilarious and so much FUN!!! and the mood all day long just made me smile…. the love, friendships and excitement was undeniably contagious. we had such a blast and were SO thrilled to be part of your day. (and p.s. micki…… we need to go shopping soon!!) and now….. here is the fantastic couple and some 6.23 faves ………. ENJOY!!!

    Beautiful shots! Looks like a fun wedding!

we were in chicago this past weekend and only caught a glimpse of the Golden Globes awards while we were at some swank italian restaurant on State St (seriously, may have been the best filet we’ve ever had!!!). OK….so this is a far cry from the Golden Globes, but this morning we were quickly caught in the spirit when we were notified that we were selected to receive WeddingWire’s 2010 “Bride’s Choice Award” for wedding photography. what a great way to start the day!!

i suppose it’s time to pull out a list of thank you’s, haha…but for us it’s pretty darn to know who to thank! seriously, it would be hard to imagine having any better brides and grooms! they all looked so amazing and did such a great job with all of their details. so kudos to you! and to all of the brides and grooms in 2010, we can’t wait!!

now, here’s the press release which makes it really sound official :)
