{Real Business} Marsais Leigh Photographie

Marsais contacted me with ideas for her new business branding: Marsais Leigh Photographie. She wanted a Shabby Chic style for her brand in shades of blue. I liked working on different variations of this style and will most likely be using more of it in future design work :)

{Real Wedding} Tamiyah and An

 It has been awhile since I've blogged. Ever since the birth of our Little Pearl, it has just been a whirl wind of sleepless nights and sweet baby moments! I appreciate your patience and never ending support.

I wanted to re-post this because the beautiful bride, Tamiyah, was kind enough to send me some photos of her and An's wedding in Moab, Utah. I wanted to share their intimate moment  with you!

The colors of this spring season are found in this {wedding invitation suite} brights, pop colors, and a blind print. Tamiyah and An approached me with ideas for their September wedding in Moab, Utah. They wanted the colors to represent An's Asian culture, reminiscent of the exotic dragon fruit and Tamiyah's French-Creole culture will be represented in their thank you notes. The initial theme for their save the dates were designed by BDC Designs. Tamiyah and An wanted me to continue this theme into their wedding invitation suite. Their colors were Chartreuse, Fuchsia, Yellow, and Gray. I loved the colors of this suite, it made a simple, modern design look stunning! Congratulations love birds!

Fast Eddie Films

Do you remember Tamiyah + An? I had the opportunity to design (a collaboration with BDC Design) and letterpress print their wedding invitations. I also printed their modern "Mr. and Mrs." thank you notes. This lovely couple had their wedding in Moab, Utah. With the beautiful, natural setting and Tamiyah's fashion driven style, this was a dream desert wedding.

I was so excited Tamiyah and An came to me with ideas for their letterpress printed business cards for An's film company Fast Eddie Films.  He has a feature film Single Tracks, which you can find on Amazon, as well as a short film called The Alice Winter. This 1-color business card was printed on 236# Reich Savoy paper stock...which I love. I think I've left Crane 220# in the back somewhere!
