Photographer Jason Aten recently opened the Bridge Street Studio in Downtown Grand Ledge.
Aten’s new 1,600 square foot storefront at 219 S. Bridge St. will allow Aten to continue focusing on wedding photography through Jason Aten Photography, but will also allow him to provide studio-based services, such as senior pictures and family photos to his clients.
“We also wanted to find a place where clients could come and meet us and see the type of work that we do,” he says.
Aten grew up in Michigan, but lived in the San Francisco area, where he developed his photography business. He moved back to Michigan in 2007 when he got married.
“It was kind of a 'Does she move here or do I move there?' kind of thing, but since both of our families are here, it made since to come back,” Aten says. “I shoot a lot of weddings out-of-state so it doesn’t really matter where we’re based.”
Eventually, Aten would like to take on some associate photographers to help him with his workload.
Aten’s work has been recognized nationally and he is a member of Grace Ormonde's Wedding Style magazine platinum list.
The Bridge Street Studio open house will take place from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., on Thursday, Sept. 10 at the studio.
