kate + michael

Kate and Michael were married in Providence in September. When I got Kate's response to my bride questionnaire, she supplied a photo of her grandmother's china as a reference. The pattern is from the same era as the Biltmore Hotel (1930s), where they are getting married. I knew right then we would integrate it into the design - but it definitely became the hero.


The invitations folded closed to hold all the components inside, with the floral pattern overlayed on each piece.


We printed offset, and pulled the metallic copper out of the artwork to really make it as close to the hand painted china as possible.

sarah + zach's engagement portraits

Sarah and Zach chose Portland's Mt. Tabor as the location for their engagement portraits earlier this summer. I loved the bright pop of color from sarah's dress, and the way the trees and natural surroundings looked in the warm evening light. Fellow Wedding Belle, Jen, designed their amazing invitations which have already set the tone for what is sure to be a gorgeous beach wedding - I can't wait to photograph it!
