Behind the Scenes – Lush Art Inspired Shoot on Junebug Weddings
The story of this project started three years ago…which seems to me like forever ago. I decided to orchestrate my very first inspiration shoot. A carefully chosen team and venue later, we were in full swing carefully crafting the artful table you may have seen on the What Junebug Loves blog yesterday. There are a […]
A Momental Girl Get's Married – DIY'ing with FiftyFlowers.com and an Invitation Peek
Jess is a DIY girl at heart. From lace bunting to quirky signage built by the groom, this wedding will be full of hand crafted moments. FiftyFlowers.com offered to help out a bit with Jess’s blooms as have I! I tried my hand at floral design back in 2010 to celebrate the hubby and my […]
My Story is Art – Keep Your Nose to the Grindstone
I’m not sure I’ve ever introduced you to my Unkie. My great uncle Aaron, who passed years ago, was like a grandfather to me and the entire family called him Unkie, for a reason I never knew. Growing up he encouraged my every aspiration, took me on picnics and taught me to appreciate what he […]
A Real Momental Wedding – A Pink and White Irish Wedding
“She’s a good girl and he’s a genuinely good guy who loves her so much…” These words, from Carolynne and Mark’s photographer describe this sweet couple perfectly. I’ve been waiting for the perfect time to share this wedding. A humid day in Pennsylvania where the air is thick with late summer seems in need […]
A Peek into the Studio – Fall Dahlias, Lacy Patterns and Deco/Nouveau Wedding Invitations
It’s been a bit since I’ve shared the latest leaving the studio but today I promise to make up for lost time. We’ve been painting away the last few months and are blown away by the color palettes and creativity of our couples. Fall is in the air and our paintbrushes are full of rich […]
A Peek into the Studio – Peach Wedding Bouquet Watercolor Invitations
Last week was peppered with the painting of two very floral bouquets. Both of our couples adored a blushy-pink color palette and a mix of classic blooms like Ranunculus, Peach Amaryllis and Garden Roses. First up was Kaitlin’s bouquet…with the lovely Pieris added to the mix. The original was quite vibrant so when it came […]
A Momental Girl Get's Married – Rustic Engagement Session with ADG Photography
There is something effortless about these images. These shots feel like Brad and Jess woke up one morning and decided to take a walk to hug, love and goof around. They just happened to do it all with Amber around. Nothing overdone, nothing too contrived, just simple beauty captured on the hottest of summer […]
My Story is Art – Lisianthus and Snapdragon Watercolor Pattern
With summer in full bloom (pun intended), I’ve been painting the weekends away. Whether I pluck the freshest from my Mom’s garden or find some pretties at the local market, there has been no shortage of flora for me to capture. Last weekend I found the most gorgeous creamy, blushy Lisianthus. Rich, violet snapdragons were […]
Behind the Scenes – Prism, Dot and Watercolor Invitations in Reverie Magazine
When Janie from The Bride’s Cafe gets in touch about a creative project, I know we are soon all in for a treat. The Summer issue of Reverie Magazine featured a sweet and breezy shoot of real couple Lydia and David, who eloped last year leaving them with no real wedding images. Well, not anymore! […]
My Story is Art – Handwriting Found
Emails have replaced long walks. Quick texts have replaced postcards. Letter writing is considered an heirloom skill reserved only for those of us with time to kill. Handwriting is loosing footing in this flurry of a world. I’m determined to keep a stronghold. Last year we collected a bunch of vintage postcards for this project. […]
A Real Momental Wedding – Montelucia Resort & Spa Wedding
When Jenna first got in touch and was swooning over this invitation seen on Style Me Pretty, I couldn’t have been more thrilled. Nothing is quite as satisfying as having a dream design created “just because”, become a couple’s real wedding stationery inspiration! How fitting that Jenna and Zachary’s entire celebration made the front page […]
My Story is Art – Re-discovering My Hours
Last week I spent a few evenings getting acquainted with the newest volume of Kinfolk magazine. The narrative “Undocumented Hours” was particularly curious and complex and has since inspired my to read again and again. It begins…. “The past few years have levied a strange burden of proof upon our backs, a burden to account […]
