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 am super excited and so grateful that two of my photographs, Brackley Beach and The Sea Awaits, have been chosen as editors picks in the recent Minted + Domino Challenge. Not only does that mean they will be for sale on Minted but Domino’s website as well! And the prize money is a nice bonus too. I can’t say enough how great it feels to be a part of such a great community of designers on Minted. Congratulations to all the designers who won for their beautiful work. I wish you all many more wins and of course crossing fingers for the ones who didn’t have luck this time.
