Quince and Apple: Contemporary Boutique Preserves

Our friends Clare and Matt run an awesome “contemporary boutique preserves” company called Quince and Apple, and they needed some promo shots for their holiday gift baskets, so they gave us a call. It’s not our normal gig, product photography, but we had fun doing it!



Here is Clare in front of the totally wild studio setup!
















Check out their website for some tasty jams! They have some never-before-seen flavors like “Shallot Confit with Red Wine” and “Pear with Honey and Ginger”. Mmmmm! But don’t go there expecting to taste quince preserves—that’s just the company name, please!

Wedding Planner and Guide Din-Din Results

We attended the Wedding Planner and Guide annual shindig last night at Bellini’s in Madison, and had a blast as always. Our effervescent sales rep (and Girl Scout cookies hookup) Dana was there, as well as a bunch of photographers and other wedding vendors. I was psyched when I won $20 for answering a trivia question right (who was the U.S. President when Wisconsin was officially given statehood? See below for the answer!)

Check these wacky pix of us from the photo booth they had at the party. Woo hoo!





Trivia answer=James K. Polk. Thank my They Might Be Giants obsession for helping me out on this one! (They have a song about Polk.)
