Whew!  It’s been a very busy and very HOT few weeks for us.  We’ve been neglecting our blog a bit – not because there hasn’t been anything to say, but mostly because there’s hardly been time to say it!  Between the fourth of July holiday, Ryan’s birthday festivities, living out of suitcases for days while our AC was out (yuck!) , and everything else, it’s just been a super crazy time for us.  So much for having the summer off!  Our shooting schedule may be a little bit lighter (cause no one wants the theme of their Arizona wedding to be “sweat”), but we’re sure keeping oursleves busy.

We’ve got all kinds of fun stuff in the works that we can’t wait to share with all of you!  In the coming weeks we’ll be introducing a whole different look and feel for Simply Knot Photography.  Ryan and I have been talking a lot lately about who we are as photographers and what our buisness is really all about and we’ve kinda come to the conclusion that we’ve outgrown a few things that we put in place when we first launched out buisness.  The first thing to go: our logo and color scheme.  It’s time to kiss the old black and white ”SK” goodbye and say hello to this this cute little number:

So much more FUN and FRIENDLY, right?  When it comes to working with our clients, we’re ALL ABOUT the fun and friendly so we thought that it was time for the look of our buisness to reflect that too!  We also wanted to get away from the more tradtional look of our old stuff and emphasize the modern look you see in our photographs.  No stuffy traditional stuff here!  There’s a lot more changes to come, inlcuding a brand new AMAZING website so I hope this little taste will hold you off for a while ;-)

Wanna hear a little secret about our new logo?  The four dots are not only a cool graphic element, but they represent the letter “G” in the braille alphabet . . . “G” for Gotcher :-)  I’m probably the only one who cares, but I think it’s really fun that it has another meaning.  Don’t forget to leave us lots of comments below to tell us what you think!

As you may (or may not) have noticed, we’ve been updating the content on our website recently so we’ve been going through some of our archives looking for fun images.  We stumbled upon this crazy photo from a while back and thought it was just too fun not to share :-)  Before we started shooting weddings, we used to spend a lot of time just shooting random things.   Well at some point, we were playing around with some ring shots using our own wedding rings and . . . well, one thing led to another . . .

Don’t bother asking how Gumby got involved because neither one of us remembers!  Since it’s such a strange image we decided to have a little fun with it.  So starting today we will be running a little contest for our blog readers! :-)  The goal is for YOU to come up with a CREATIVE CAPTION FOR THIS PHOTO.

Here’s how you enter:

1. Come up with a creative caption(s) for the photo
2. Leave a comment on this post with your idea (be sure and fill out the email field so we can contact you if you win)
3. On Tuesday, April 28th, we’ll pick our favorite and announce the winner! Good Luck!!!

The winner will recieve a special gift courtesy of Simply Knot Photography!

Ready . . . GET SET . . . GOOOOOO!
