I’m starting to release wedding stationery suites that are customizable templates into the Shop. I’ve started with three of my favorite wedding invitation designs of mine (originally custom projects) and they are the ones most asked after, so why not let you guys enjoy them? Find them in the Shop and share them with your bride friends!
Note: those baby shower and birthday invites are still coming as well. You all have been so patient as I’ve promised them time and time again.

This wedding was simply stunning and the bride and groom looked incredible. I’ve mentioned my mentor (the one who got me started and on my feet) quite a few times — and well, this was his wedding. That made it especially sweet to me. For the couple’s wedding stationery, we did simply black type on cream paper and paired the pieces with black + gray envelopes lined with shimmery liners. Not pictured is the gold dotted washi tape and metallic gold + black twine that embellished the sealed product.
Oh, and guess what? You can actually customize this invitation suite for your own wedding via my Shop. That’s how much I loved how it all turned out.

This was the first set of custom wedding invitations I’d done since I took an extended break because of Henry. I had to come out of hiding for my sister’s wedding, right? I shot their engagement photos and had to conclude it by creating their invitation suite.
This set featured a simple leafy twig pattern and type. Printed on smooth creamy ivory paper with black ink and paired with shimmering gold envelopes, metallic gold/black twine, and black striped washi tape — this set came out just as I dreamed it up. You can view some of their wedding photos here.

My sister was married in May and was immediately whisked off to live in Ohio. This day was absolutely glorious, but at the same time bittersweet. It’s hard not having her around. I miss her little face like nothing else. At the bottom of this post, there’s a photo of us sisters that I absolutely adore. I love those sisters of mine with all my heart and I’m happy they each found the one they love. See my sister’s engagement photos here and detail shots of their wedding invitation suite that I got to design here.

Taking photos of people is a very intimidating thing. I think that’s why I stick to things only. Nature doesn’t care if the shadows are a little off or the bloom of the flower isn’t quite perfect. People, on the other hand, care. But when my sister and her fiancee asked me to do a little session for them, I agreed but told them to find a professional as well because I was sure to disappoint. In the end I warmed up to the idea, even got a little excited — and we came out with several snaps that I think didn’t turn out so bad that I wanted to share simply because I think my sister and her new man are just too adorable.
The kids are huge fans of coffee, so it was only just to snap a few during our coffee break. It was freezing when we decided to do the shoot, so the coffee (and hot chocolate for some) was a very welcome thing. Here I quickly realized that taking photos of people indoors is a completely different ballpark than being outdoors.
my younger sister was married here as well.
