a wedding weekend : in rochester, ny

Posted: September 3rd, 2010 | Filed under: art, paperfinger, places, travel, weddings | 2 Comments »

I flew up to Rochester last night for a friend’s wedding this weekend, in an effort to dodge any possible trouble with Mr. Earl. The drawing above is the illustration I created for their wedding invitation, which I’ll share with you sometime soon as well. I’m excited to be here, in the places I’ve only seen through Google Images so far!

Enjoy your holiday weekend all! I’ll be back on the blog on Tuesday.

The current issue of Brides Magazine features two samples of Paperfinger calligraphy! They’re back-to-back in the Buzz section, beginning page 75.

Above, the Jane Austen lettering to complement the stack of books — yet another creative way to do table names. Below, my chalk calligraphy on photo booth signs. You’ll see I saved a silly shot of me with one of the signs while I was working on them…

New photographs from the Water Mill reception for Stacey and Jim’s wedding!  I posted about this wedding in October and am finally sharing some professional photos courtesy of photographer, Shawn Connell. It’s a feast of rich colors.

I accidentally tipped the bottle of ink over on this one. But I like the results!


a beautiful summer wedding concoction : poppies & posies + paperfinger

Posted: July 28th, 2010 | Filed under: brooklyn, calligraphy, paper, paperfinger, press, weddings | 2 Comments »

Brooklyn Bride featured this shoot on Monday, orchestrated and created by Poppies & Posies — the floral and event design duo that I’ve worked with before (remember the oyster bar menu?) — along with calligraphy by yours truly, Stuart & Welch catering, Sarah Seven bridal gowns, all captured by photographer Jen Huang. The models were Jasmine Johnson of BridalBod and Davraam.

The theme: chemistry!

I created a periodic table of elements-esque table sign along with whimsically written place cards for the shoot. The floral display here is gorgeous — Sierra and Jen of Poppies & Posies made it work so elegantly with the old science test tubes and vintage medicinal glass bottles. Read about their process and selections in greater detail on the Brooklyn Bride post.

Some of my favorite shots by Jen are included here. Enjoy!
