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 wedding was simply beautiful. beautiful people. beautiful details, venues, weather… and to top it all off – tim + sarah got married!
seriously…the architect behind St. Roberts in ada should get some kind of medal. and being in the two story imperial ballroom at the amway grand plaza for the reception, you can’t help but feel like you’ve gone up a few notches in class
i could go on and on……
ok, just one more thing…. we were super pumped about the locations we had for the party shots and bride/groom portraits. this place was like a photographer’s wonderland, especially after thinking we’ve scoured pretty much every inch and back alley of grand rapids and discovered pretty much everything there was to shoot. low and behold, we were wrong! but the real credit for finding this fabulous location (named “heaven’s alley” in our GPS!!) goes to our incredible friend, lisa kae who found it while out scouting one day and was kind enough to share it with her friends. she actually told mindy that she might pee her pants when we saw this location and though mindy was super excited when we arrived….. she did manage to stay dry.
okay…… back to tim and sarah. you two are a classy act. from the moment we knocked on the doors of your rooms in the amway, it was clear that this was going to be a beautiful day. your wedding party was soooo nice. and fun. and respectful. heck, it wasn’t even hard to get everyone to look at the camera without talking for just a second for the party shots. that’s unheard of!!
oh…and i forgot to mention…easiest and fastest family pictures yet!!! talk about insanely cooperative and kind people….. the goodness of this day goes on and on…
so here’s a few faves that we pulled to tell your story….. ENJOY!!!!

Oooooo, I totally love your new alley! People in this area find it strange I know the alleys as well as the streets, but then again this is small town! Gorgeous venue, and love the last shot!
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love the “new” spot!
TWO THUMBS WAY UP!!!

jason and kayla have a strong connection with grace adventures camp.
mindy and i love grace adventures.
jason and kayla are both very active in youth ministry.
ben’s undergrad was in youth ministry and actually interned as a youth pastor up in cadillac michigan.
and mindy’s a big kid
the list could go on on how many things we have in common with jason and kayla. so naturally, we’re pretty darn excited to be shooting their wedding this august.
and speaking of excited…we were also pretty excited to get our colored doors outside for some field/tree shots. i mean, what else says “the great outdoors” like a bunch of vintage colored doors (that we now have behind our newish 1970′s green velvet couch in our living room, btw). character. color. bold. yet natural. sounds a whole lot like jason and kayla to me
so you two, we can’t wait for your wedding!!! now here’s a handful of our faves from your session.
