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!

Last November I designed a parent album for Ginny and Mark to give as a gift to their family. I was excited to take a peak into their special day and absolutely loved the location and decor choices. The venue was the Carondelet House in Los Angeles, which is truly a beautiful space. It was built in 1928 and holds an immense amount of rustic charm. And I must say, Ginny did a fantastic job at designing and planning the event. It was so romantic and elegant. And their cake was gorgeous! I wanted to share a few spreads of the album, featuring the overall decor. Enjoy!
