Wedding Invitation Design | Wendy & Robert | Chicago, IL

This last spring I had the pleasure of designing a custom logo and invitation set for Wendy & Robert! The look that we decided on was one that embodied clean lines and bold colors. We used a simple flower illustration mixed with lovely flowing swirls to create a bold and memorable pattern that was used to tie the overall look together.







Details for Wendy & Robert's Wedding Invitation set:
• Printed on 110# Solar White Cover Stock - this paper was FSC Certified,
100% Carbon Neutral and manufactured with 100% renewable energy
• Print Method: Digitally Printed with an environmentally friendly printing company
• Colors: beet (envelopes) & night (backing stock) - ink colors to match
• Theme: Modern & Clean

A Special thanks to Five Grain Events for referring such a lovely couple to me!
Thanks also to Brian Kinyon Photography for these great photos!

Engagement Session | April & Francis

April & Francis were an absolute joy to work with! I've known the two of them for a couple of years, so it was really an honor to be able to capture some memories for them. I love that they weren't afraid of showing me their goofy side - they are such a wonderful, loving couple and it really shows in their pictures!




Kissy-kissy!






Ice cream makes a great (and delicious) prop! I love the kissing ice cream cones!

Amy & Matt's Save the Date

I had the chance to design a very cool vintage Save the Date Postcard for Amy & Matt (referred to me by the lovely Joan of Five Grain Events).

When Amy and I first started on the design she had been looking to make an e-Save the Date that would be emailed out. We ended up transitioning to a snail mail Save the Date Postcard instead. Side Note - for any couples that are wondering whether to go paperless - keep in mind that all of your recipients may not be fluent in the computer world and that could mean missed Rsvp's. Also, since paper is a renewable resource (many paper companies have taken great measures to reduce their carbon footprint) and many printers are turning to eco-friendly inks, going with a paper version for your Invitation or Save the Date is actually an eco-friendly move.

Details for Amy & Matt's Save the Date Postcard:
• 110# Natural White Cover Stock - this paper was FSC Certified,
100% Carbon Neutral and manufactured with 100% renewable energy
• Digitally Printed with an environmentally friendly printing company
• 2-sided Postcard
• Size: 4" x 6"
• Colors: chocolate brown and a muted gold
• Theme: 20's/30's Vintage



Amy & Matt had an adorable picture (taken by a friend) that they wanted to use on the front of the card. This picture set the theme for the overall look of the Save the Date.

Thanks Amy & Matt for letting me be a part of the creation of your very special day!
