Surrounded by all their grandchildren, they were wed before immediate family, then proceeded to Caffe Mingo on 21st Avenue for a celebration with food, wine, music and many friends! Congratulations to them both!

What is K&K Graphics?

Wednesday, September 8th, 2010

We have been planning to start a blog for some time… it was just never the right time. Recently, all work went on a hiatus while we got married (an event 10 years in the making). So here we are, autumn of 2010, married, joyful, hard working, cameras in hand, and ready to begin.

The most practical way to start seems to be with an introduction, the What, Who and Why of K&K Graphics. We’ve been asked many times what we do, and the answer usually begins with us chuckling and wondering where to begin. So, you ask, what do we do? Here’s the short list:  photography (weddings, landscape, event, creative, marketing, etc.), graphic design (small business identities, event collateral, business stationery, etc.), calligraphy, invitation design, and various other hobbies and projects including (Kyle’s favorite) pinhole photography. Weekends are spent shooting weddings and taking trips, weeknights are for post-processing images, designing, printing, and going out to eat. And, somewhere in the middle of all that, we do maintain full time jobs at local businesses. Some may look at us and say we are workaholics, but in truth, we just love what we do.

Who is K&K Graphics? Kyle is staff member of locally owned Pro Photo Supply; Kelly is an invitation designer and digital print manager at local letterpress studio, Oblation Papers & Press. Together, we are a husband and wife team, working from home and sharing our creative services with any who desire them. We are photographers at every opportunity, perfectionists by nature, and artists by choice.

Why do we do it all? The answer is easy: Our work presents us with challenges and experiences that leave us feeling satisfied and that makes us better partners. We love the job, and moreover, we love doing the job well.

All we ask of you is to enjoy our work, and feel free to let us know if you like what you see! Don’t hesitate to contact us with questions, we’d love to hear from you. Thanks!
