Recent Work :: Branding for Graham Terhune Photography

I recently helped Graham of Graham Terhune Photography to update his branding, complete with new business cards.  Graham already had a strong design concept that he felt worked well for his business, the bow-tie, how fun!  I was immediately smitten with the Southernness of it all.

This is what we started with :

We went through a few design options and ultimately settled on a minimal design that focused on his name, and a sister design for the business card layout.

He opted for a deliciously thick 220#, 100% Cotton Lettra letterpress business cards.  We kept the design fairly minimal, because trust me – the thickness of the paper really speaks for itself!  Although letterpress is a bit more of an investment than digital printing, the impact is well worth it.  I don’t have the ability (or the patience!) to print letterpress items in house, so I asked one of the talented #fontfriday ladies to print these for me.  Alexandra from the Aerialist Press did an amazing job, and I cannot wait to work with her again in the future.

We also printed the same design digitally, on a 110# cotton paper for ‘everyday cards’.

Thank you Graham, for allowing me to work with you on your new branding, it was a pleasure!

Custom Garden Rose Invitations

Rosie requested a custom design for their classic, formal wedding incorporating garden roses, her favorite flower.  She also asked if I could add in a small bird somewhere as her future husband and his family are avid bird watchers. We worked with a color palette of Navy and peach.

I printed the RSVP, Information Cards, and labels for her; and she had the invitations printed by a local letterpress printer.

The printer was kind enough to take some photos which she shared with me.

And this is what her lucky guests received in the mail!

I also designed the programs for their ceremony and the menu for their reception dinner.

The peach box on the back represents a small envelope that Rosie planned to attach to the reverse of the program to hold a tissue!

Congratulations Rosie & Dave!

Paint Chip Housewarming Party

Katherine requested that I modify a previous 'Painting Party' invitation I had created to adapt it into a Housewarming Invite.  As a new homeowner myself, I know that Paint chips are almost as prevalent as moving boxes in a new home, so I thought it was a great idea!

Addresses and phone numbers have been changed to protect my client's privacy.

Modern Rose Bridal Shower Invite

This shower invite was for a bride and groom that met at The Black Rose in Boston. The host wanted the invite to reflect their meeting place, mixed with a modern, flirty and classy garden party theme.  The colors she chose were lemon yellow and grey.
