Ray and Joy's Wedding Invites
Sunday, June 28th, 2009
This year has been one of inspiration and determination. Dan and Melissa were getting married and they invited me to their wedding last September. I was to be their guest and photographer. It was a great experience. The photos turned out great, and I had a really fun time back in the South. Dan is connected to the lady at Mok Duk, who made these awesome invites. I got mine in the mail, and I was totally inspired, then determined.
Inspired by the sheer beauty of the printed invitation, and determined that this was what I was going to try to do.
Joy and Ray ( also friends with Mel and Dan ) asked me to shoot for their wedding, but that didn’t exactly work out, but I offered to do their invitations. Here’s some of my process.
I started by designing the invitation. I wanted to make something long, to fold and fit into the kraft envelopes. Their only stipulation was to use bright pink, yellow, and orange. We quickly agreed on a design and it was off to the print shop.
