Come On In and Stay A While

Welcome to the blog of Staja Studios. We are STAcey and JAson Thon, the dynamic duo (self proclaimed) behind Staja Studios! This blog serves as our way to keep in touch with everyone we know, like, and love. We thought it would be a fun way for people who know us to keep up with what is going on in our lives and studio, and a wonderful way for those of you who may have just met us to learn more about who we are.
We would like to bring together our professional and personal lives. You can expect to see pictures from our latest weddings, engagement shoots, portraits, etc. As well as some personal, fine art, family pics, and other projects. In addition, we will be sharing our "Cheers and Jeers", and other random ramblings about whatever strikes our fancy. In the future we are also looking for ways to make things more interactive, if you will. This may include voting for a particular marketing piece, contests, and various other activities.
Thank you all for stopping by, and don't forget to - Get Captured!

Vegas Trash


What better to call this? I was going through some pictures we took while out in Las Vegas at WPPI and remembered taking this shot. I took it because I thought it was great symbolism for a certain aspect of Vegas. It's meant to be gritty, but if you look close, it's four "hooker trading cards" as we like to call them, on the top of a trash can. Don't get us wrong, we love Vegas and enjoy going there, but seeing this trash can littered with sex for sale next to these wonderfully maintained hedges was a funny paradox.

Stay tuned for its opposite - pictures of the grand canyon...

Lauren & Tony


What a great couple! We have had such a good time getting to know Lauren and Tony since we did their engagement session last summer. They are so relaxed and comfortable with each other, which makes working with them so fun and easy.

The wedding was held at Mt. Olivet in Minneapolis, with the reception following at The Wilds in Prior Lake. The whole day was great to be a part of. The weather even cooperated for the most part. All in all, everyone seemed to be have a great time (especially the groomsmen).

In closing, we had a wonderful time, and working with people like Lauren and Tony truely make this the most rewarding job a person can have. Be sure to check out the slideshow of wedding highlights.

We wish you guys the best!

Weddings and the News

We have recently come across a couple of articles in the news that we thought would be fun to share. Both stories are of interest to anyone with an upcoming wedding, or in the process of planning one (specifically a June wedding in Minnesota). We hope you enjoy the articles.

June is butin' out all over
This article is of particular interest for anyone planning an outdoor wedding in the month of June (the rainiest month in Minnesota). The article also features a local wedding cordinator, Jennifer Johnson, of Heartstrings Wedding and Event Planning.

Brides Gone Wild
This article is a real interesting look at the trends in photography geared toward preperation pictures. It is primarly talking about brides, and their changing taste's towards these pictures.

We would be interested in your thoughts.
