Recently, a good friend of ours, Jon Canlas, brought his photography class into the cafe for a photo shoot. This is the second shoot he’s done for us, and we’ve been absolutely blown away by both of them. Through his photography, he has an uncanny ability to capture vibrant experiences and emotions…
The dessert shots turned out flawless… (and food is a tough thing to shoot…I’m told) The shots of our cafe are mind-blowing (do you see how chic and hip our bookshelf looks?) . He truly tells the story and conveys the feeling of the cafe through pictures.
But as amazing as these shots are, you really need to see his work with people. Go to his blog, and look at his shots of bridals, births, travel, and commercial work.
Every once in a while, you get to witness a true ARTIST at work–who does what he does because he LOVES it, AND because he’s talented. Just being around them as they work inspires you… Jon Canlas is one of those artists. So I highly recommend… FOLLOW HIS BLOG. It’ll inspire you in many ways. I know it has for me.
Here is his post, and his photos of the Cafe… Thanks Jon!
“I went with my class I teach @ UVU to go do a “story-telling through details” shoot. This is of an AMAZING bakery in Orem, UT called The Chocolate. Their space is absolutely amazing. Old, old house that has been restored and redecorated. They have SO much space. They have engagement parties, birthdays, and I just found out someone actually just proposed there.
If you are looking for an amazing alternative to a wedding cake and want all your guests to be over the moon with their sweets @ your wedding, seriously, drop them a line. I HEART their pineapple coconut cupcake. HEART.
Go check them out. And if you remember, I shot them before as well when the bakery was in their home basement :).”
