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!

Ashley & Mike are Married! May 9, 2009

Our first wedding of the year! Jason and I were so happy and excited for Ashley and Mike's wedding to arrive and it certain didn't disappoint! The day began cold and windy, but gradually turned into a gorgeous spring day. The sun even decided to join us for much of the day:) These two did such a fabulous job planning their wedding; no detail was left behind. Ashley is the owner of a graphic design company called Burleigh Day Design, so as you can imagine, everything from the invitations to the table cards was packed with creativity and elegance.

Ashley and Mike met while in college at the University of St. Thomas. This is also where they chose to become husband and wife. The Chapel of St. Thomas Aquinas is an absolutely beautiful church.

The reception was held at Brackett's Crossing Country Club in Lakeville. The Platinum Ballroom was decorated to perfection. Once again, Ashley's sense of style and design was very apparent.

As the guests arrived at the reception, all of the mothers were presented with a long stemmed red rose in honor of Mother's Day (which was that Sunday). One of the little surprises that Ashley's dad had up his sleeve:)

Jason and I had such a great time and want to thank and congratulate Mike and Ashley on their wonderful wedding day! We are just thrilled for the both of you.

Please enjoy a little preview of some of our favorite images from your day.

Stacey and Jason

These are stunning guys! This is an odd favorite, but I really love the shot of the exterior of the church. I love the angle, the framing, the flare.... Nice shot!
