We shot Jackie and Brandon’s engagement pictures a while back. They’re a fun couple. Brandon played baseball at Wichita State, and Jackie played tennis there. We were able to get into Eck Stadium at WSU to take some pictures, followed by some shots around campus.

Here’s the save the date card we made for them:

Wedding Album Design for Josh and Terra
We designed this wedding album for Josh and Terra’s wedding. I’m really excited with how it came out. It’s a hardback album with flush mounted pages.

Thanks to the folks at Zenfolio for continuing to enhance their products and services with this new slideshow feature and much more.

My good friend Matt and I made some pictures for his senior recital announcements

Back in March, Matt asked me to create some portraits of him. The idea was to get one or two shots for an announcement he was going to send out for his senior composition recital. Matt’s very talented and creative. He also let me have free reign over the session, and I’m really happy with what we came up with. All of the pictures are very much him, capturing something about his personality. Below is the card I designed with the images I took:

We can design and host an e-card for you

With a lot of engagement sessions, I’ve been creating save the date cards for the couples as well. We’ve been incorporating the primary colors of the wedding. Another cool thing we’ve been doing to save on printing and mailing is to do an e-card. We can host the image on our site, allowing for the card to be sent as an embedded picture, not an attachment. Even if the e-cards only go to a percentage of your expected guests, it can help your budget.

Andi and Cole had their engagement photos done, and here is the save the date card we came up with.

Cool photos make for cool designs.

C.J. and Laura went out and took some great engagement pictures of Aaron and Katie. Laura grabbed a shot that I immediately saw had great graphic potential. Then I learned that they did want a save the date card.

Since their wedding is going to be a summer wedding, I liked the idea of the bright blues. So my post processing was geared toward making the colors pop a bit more. Then I started laying out the text. I wanted a clean, simple look, while still adding a couple of graphic elements to the card. So keep us in mind if you happen to need a card or any other type of design along with your photos.

Here is the result:
Save the Date Card

Oatmeal olympics. It’s exactly what it sounds like.

Recently, I got a chance to design an event mailer for a local church. The event: Oatmeal Olympics. There were several oatmeal related competitions. And truly more oatmeal than I could imagine. The goal of this design project was to provide the youth of the church with some fliers that they could hand out to their friends.

I grabbed a tub of Quaker’s Oatmeal out of my mom’s cupboard and set up a quick picture for the background. (In retrospect, I would have cooked the oatmeal to really capture the messy, gooey-ness of the day…) Also, I decided that there needed a wooden spoon. You know, the kind the lunch lady with the hair net used to stir the oatmeal before she plopped it on your tray.

Design is fun. We’ve done design for wedding invitations, save the date cards, Christmas cards, and websites. A lot of our design is photo-driven (and a lot of our photography, great for design). So keep us in mind and we’ll make something you-driven for your event, celebration, or just something to share with people you care about.

Here’s the result:
