A quick look at the finished product of Anne and Brian’s wedding invites. The photography is from their engagement photoshoot I did a while back. The photos worked really well for the style they were looking for. The maps were hand drawn/watercolored and were initially in color, but I decided for the sake of consistency they should be turned grayscale to match the rest of the invitation.

As 4 of my friends are getting married this summer, I’ve found myself involved in some fun projects with lots of creative freedom. Now that these invites are printed and mailed, I’m excited to show the final product. The goal was to do something that represented their fun and carefree spirit while still having classic elements. Upon request, they gave me 10 words to describe their relationship that could be useful for inspiration. Among the ones that stood out to me were colorful, fun, fresh, wild, and true. Somehow, I wanted to have the design embody a little piece of each of the 10 words in some way[...]
Jun 8, 2011I love a good project that is quick, fun, and turns out great. My best friend /college roommate is to be married this year to a wonderfully perfect girl and I all but insisted that they let me help out with their save the dates and invitations. I wanted to come up with something that was as goofy, playful, and colorful as they are – something that the recipient would think, “That is sooo them!” After a brainstorming session, we decided to go for a photogrid approach, but with the photos all interacting with each other in some way. Front and center we wanted a nice picture of them together, but all around would be individual shots of them reacting in different ways. Plus Mini-Wheats, their kitty (which we rescued from certain death and nursed back to health in our college dorm room). All we needed was to shoot the images we had sketched up.
A fast photoshoot provided all the images I needed and the card came together pretty quickly after that. Finally, we had it printed on heavy glossy front/matte back stock. Excited to move on to the invitations!
