In honor of this great day in Oregon, I wanted to share our dear friends wedding invitations from a few summers ago.  When the grooms told me the plan to incorporate inspiration from their favorite movie, Amélie, into their wedding, a lovely image popped into my head– the garden gnome!!  The invitation was an accordion fold complete with a gnome silhouette and their amazing engagement photos (taken by Brandon Witzel), and closed between two wood engraved coasters (how fun when the invitation can be used by guests?!) The invitation set, bound in blue satin ribbon, sat upon a bed of wood excelsior, and was enclosed and shipped in a square box. 

Not only did I have the great honor of designing their wedding invitations, but was also a participant in the ceremony. 
It was a gorgeous August day under beautiful trees in a secluded hazelnut orchard in Aurora, Oregon.  The ceremony was so well-written, meaningful, and full of love. This lovely, fun bunch of people below were so happy to participate in the wedding of two incredible people! Thanks W+M for inviting John and I play such an important role in your amazing wedding.

I was so happy to participate in this Radiant Orchid themed shoot put together by Jessica from Bash! Weddings & Events. It was featured on one of my favorite blogs, Style Unveiled, on Valentine's Day. See the full feature here, and check out some of my favorite shots below.
