Whitbury Engagement Photos

Summer is in full swing, and so is wedding season. I have been busy working with Whitney and Brad to get their invitations and other materials together for their big day. One portion of what I completed for them was an engagement shoot, which we were able to squeeze in before their engagement party at the Del Mar Train Station. There were so many fantastic photos - it was hard to pick just a few! These were some of my personal favorites. I can't wait to pull everything together for you guys on your special day! xxx

Mark + Krystal

Jon's best friend (and best man!) is getting married, and I was lucky enough to be asked to do the invitations for Mark and Krystal. Krystal sent me a couple of designs she found, and told me the main colors for her wedding were pink, purple, gold, and asked if I could add in a bit of lace. I tried to create something that fit her style, and kept with the colors of the wedding. I came up with the following, which were printed on a Beargrass 98# Aspire Petallics cover and shipped to Fresno, along with the envelopes for each guest. We got ours in the mail a couple of days ago!

Meet Elena T Beauty

Elena was recommended to me by a mutual friend, who saw me post about the updated Design Velocipede site I created before Christmas. Elena was in need of a simple website to launch her small business as a full-service makeup artist and esthetician. First, I wanted to create Elena a logo - something that would help her stand out, but was inviting and personal enough for her website. I posted the first round as part of my 40 Days of Design, but you can see progress of the logos below, as well as the final logo Elena picked.



I then sent Elena the first comp for her website. She loved the example I sent her, so we went from there. Below are a couple of examples of the final site. Though, I highly recommend taking a look at the actual site hereI also must mention that professional photography really helps to elevate a site, which was definitely the case with Elena T Beauty. A HUGE shout-out to Shewanders for allowing us to use some of their photography. And of course, a huge thank you to Audra, because without her, none of this would have been possible! :)
