We want to wish the best of this holiday season to you and we hope you enjoy the time with your closest family and friends!

Natasha and I are so grateful to all of our past and current wonderful clients. This year has been a whirlwind of excitement for us and we could not be more thankful. It is because of each of you that we’re really able to do what we love.

We appreciate all of you who have taken the time to comment and email to let us know your thoughts on our new website. We were very happy to receive so much feedback.

Our randomly selected winners of a large mounted print from the last announced contest on our blog are: Schayne and Razzak!

These guys have won an awesome mounted 16″x24″ metallic print. Schayne and Razzak, please contact us - we can’t wait to have it printed.

We recently shot an exciting engagement photo session right on and around Union Square in San Francisco. This area of the city is incredibly festive during this time of year and we had a fantastic time with Natalya and Rob.

There was a stage setup with live performers, a magnificent Christmas tree, and enough lights and decorations to keep us busy till we froze… :) Check out some of our favorites below:

This blog contains all of the entries from our old blog as well as a new search feature that can be used to find past entries.

As you may have noticed, we have a new company name. We’ve been in search of a name that could represent both of us and after suffering much grief that both Google and Apple were taken, we’ve moved on to our choice number three: Choco Studio! We wanted a name that was simple, fun, classy and felt that Choco Studio had all of the above.

Thanks to all of our fantastic clients for helping us fill the new website with beautiful images! If you haven’t yet had a chance to see it, check it out.

Please do add your email address for a subscription to our blog on the right sidebar so that you don’t miss the latest posts, news and recent photoshoots. You may also bookmark this site, and if you’re an rss person, the rss feed is here.

Last week we announced a CONTEST in celebration of all this news and the results of the contest are IN. We randomly picked a couple from the list of our past and current clients and the winners of a beautiful 16″x24″ mounted print are: Julie and Erik!

Mounted prints do not require frames and can readily be displayed and enjoyed. These large size prints look just awesome on a wall in your home or at the wedding reception. Julie and Erik, please contact us to let us know your favorite photo.

We’d love to know what all of you think about our new brand and website so please leave a comment to let us know. To encourage everyone to not be shy and speak up we’ll draw another name out of all the people who comment here by next Saturday. This person will also get to pick their choice of photo for another beautiful 16″x24″ print.

Looking forward to hearing from you! Hope you enjoy it!

Mike and Natasha
