Custom Wedding Invitations

I had the honor of designing and printing custom letterpress wedding invitations for my cousin Jessica and her fiance, Tim, who will be married the first weekend of May. This was admittedly new ground for me, and I hope Jessica and Tim are as pleased with the results as I am.

Marriage, a Journey

This project has been long in coming. In truth, I'm skirting the statute of limitations for getting my gift to the couple within a year of their celebration. The quote here by Frederick Buechner used to be at the bottom of the bride's emails, sent during years abroad with the Peace Corps and the Foreign Service. She now signs her emails with a new quote, but this one seemed apt in relation to marriage.

The gift needed to be small, as the couple moves every two years, and the wooden cutting or cheese board beneath the frame, made by Russell James Ooms, is a small piece of California that can hopefully travel with them.
