I was thrilled when Well Wed Magazine contacted me today about my work being featured in their New England issue. My clients, Jessica Tripodo and Ken Powers, shared their special day on Martha’s Vineyard and it was such a spectacular event. I loved working with Jessica on all her stationary, from save the dates to wedding invitations, as well as the event decor/paper goods. You can spot my menus and seating cards in the photos below, taken by the talented Lindsey Thorne.

How awesome is it that they are featured in Well Wed! I am so excited for them both. The wedding was truly a beautiful mix of rustic elements and nautical flair and I am sure everyone had the time of their lives. I am honored to be a part of it. You can view their spread in Well Wed Cape & Islands: Issue 10.

I will be sharing a post on this wedding soon!

I was so excited when Atlanta photographer, Linda Kovtoun, contacted me to be a part of an inspiration shoot she was putting together. The theme was Autumn and the shoot was held at a historic home in Fayetteville, Georgia. A special version of my Autumn Floral invitation suite was featured in the shoot and it couldn’t have been perfect. After all is said and done, here are the beautiful images from that day. What a great job Linda did capturing the peacefulness of the property and all the gorgeous elements of the shoot, and two thumbs up to the rest of the crew who did such a great job to help everything come together. Enjoy!
