Branding Your Wedding

One of our brides, Grace (of Graceful Designs), gave her wedding a visual boost by using an ampersand as an insignia to emphasize the union of two people in a unique way. Embedding this mark on a number of items including invitations, custom cuff links, table decor, signs, thank you gifts, and even a flask pulled her designs together with a bold statement. This is more than just choosing a theme to inspire your wedding planning-- it is thoughtfully branding your event to make it a truly memorable day.

Uncropped Image vs. Cropped Image

We always give our clients full frame photographs, so they have the freedom to use the images as they please. Here is an example of how something as simple as changing the crop on an image can make a dramatic difference. 

It's all about perspective

I couldn't stop staring at these two images while editing Mike and Jill's wedding last year. The same doorway photographed from two perspectives reminds me of the sculptor Ron Mueck who plays with scale to create startling visual images.

Awesome Wedding Reception or Event Site

Check out Macemon's Photography Studio located in the Historic Casket Arts building in North East Minneapolis (upstairs from Lace/Hanky). There is off street parking, two kitchens, and ample space for guests. The exposed brick with antique freight doors create a unique atmosphere. You know what else is great about this place? You can choose your own caterer and hook up your ipod in the studio's sound system. Your music and your floor plan.
