REAL WEDDINGS: BAILEY & JOHN-MICHAEL BAHIA BEACH, PUERTO RICO

Bailey & John-Michaels beautiful wedding in Puerto Rico last fall.  I had so much fun working with Bailey to create all of the fun, vibrant stationery.  The ombre lettering was totally her idea and I LOVE how it turned out!

SKETCHBOOK // FLORAL LETTERS

Playing around with some floral letters lately.  I love the ampersand! I think I will add more and make some fun words for greeting cards. Hope y'all are having a lovely week. This summer is just flying by  :'(

RECENT WORK : ASHLEY + JOSH'S WINTER PARK FARMERS MARKET WEDDING

These are a few photos from a beautiful wedding I had the pleasure of photographing and painting for this past spring.  The wedding was at the Winter Park Farmers Market, I loved this venue and the surrounding area in downtown Winter Park.  Seriously perfect!  I created the invitation suite, cocktail signs, cookie table signs, and table numbers all using watercolor.  The seating chart was made from a piece of wood purchased at home depot and hand painted with acrylic paint.  Hop over to my photography site to see more photos from Ashley + Josh's day...
