I was really excited when Chantelle contacted me a couple of weeks ago to do invitations for her organization. This is my first corporate set of invites, and they were really fun to do!
Their organization, the Sarnia Lambton Economic Partnership, hosts a banquet each year. It was important to them to send out invitations this year that felt that little bit extra special, while keeping with their colour scheme.
Brooke is one of my favourite clients and photographers. Because she clearly loves what she does. And because she trusts me to do my thing. I love pleasantly surprising my clients – creative licence makes me happy.
I went a different route this time around with her gift certificates, and have created something personal, and Brooke-like and sweet. I pulled some of my favourite pics from her site, and used a font inspired by her logo for the text.
Here is a sneak peak at Jer’s business cards. We still have to order the plate for the reverse side, but I am really happy with these, and wanted to share now, rather than wait two weeks to post.
Jer is an exceptional photographer. He is driven to perfection in everything he does, and does not settle for anything less. He pushes himself to be new, and relevant and creative every time. His laid back, personable approach to life and weddings makes him an easy choice for brides. Check out his weekly updates – www.jerwilcocksphotography.com
Poor Jenny. I scheduled out first consultation in the evening. The kids were all supposed to be in bed. Brad was supposed to be home to help me get them ready for bed. The dogs were supposed to be good… But no. She walks in the door, just after Brad had left for a fire call. Just after the younger two were dealing with a meltdown. Just after my potty-training (now potty trained) puppy peed in the middle of the living room. Awesome. That’ll build confidence in your invitationer, won’t it??
After a rocky start we got onto the same page. And the end results were beautiful! Jenny got married out at Bogey’s Inn, just outside of Sombra. Maryanne was her hardworking, talented planner, who helped create a beautiful ambiance for her.
I was helping Maryanne with the setup yesterday when Jenny stopped in to see how the room looked. Her reaction was enough to make me want to be there every time a bride sees her room decked out for the first time! She was glowing, and it certainly makes my job that much more wonderful.
Jodi is a breath of fresh air. She’s giggly, and fun, and sweet. I love working with her. These invitations were fun to do; I had done something similar for Missy a few weeks ago. Both these, and the thank you cards for Heather’s shower all use photographs printed on photo paper, and the result is personalized simplicity.
Jodi’s photographer is Ryan Farr of Proper Photography. Ryan has second shot with J.R. Clubb of Barefeet Projects, and Jer Wilcocks in the past couple of years, and has recently branched into shooting his own weddings.
Heather’s wedding is fast approaching as well. She asked me to create some thank you cards for her bridal showers, along with all of her wedding day paper details (seating chart, programs, menus, etc.) I used Plike paper, which has an unusual silky texture, and is one of my favourite stocks to work with. Heather has been a laid back and sensible client. She’s a romantic too though; she’s mailing all of her thank yous out on her honeymoon, from Paris!
Heather’s photographer is the incredibly sweet and creative Stephanie Ouellette. I know Stephanie is going to be a very busy girl in the Sarnia area in the next couple of years!
