New Art Package add on!!

OK so a little background on this one...Sarah & Dan were married on July 3, 2009 in Whithall, Michigan. I have known Sarah since my freshman year in high school. So her wedding was extra special for many reasons and also because it brings our close high school group together again. We are all scattered around the United States and England now. Anyways, I had the honor of photographing her wedding (slide show is an older post) and had a wonderful time catching up with old familiar faces!

After Sarah and Dan's wedding I got to thinking about a different ways to present the images in a more meaningful and personal way. Back in high school, I use to sit for hours in my darkroom/studio making books. I loved working with all the different kinds of papers and making my own prints was nothing but spectacular! So I decided to go back to roots but in twenty first century style using my new Epson Stylus Photo printer! I got so inspired that the project evolved into what I'm now calling the "artful wedding package". It includes.....

  1. 11x14 matted custom print (overall size 16x20)
  2. 11x14 custom framed print
  3. 8x10 collage book with 20 custom pages, including your wedding invitation
  4. 4x6 brag book with 24 custom 4x6's
  5. tri fold triptych of images in a hand made custom folder
  6. Image files on DVD in custom hand made folder (1-extra set of dvd's also included)

I would LOVE your thoughts on this idea and I'm excited to see what Sarah has to say about her surprise package!! So please don't be shy and let me know what you think!





Here is what Sarah had to say about the new Art Package!! Thanks for your comments Sarah!

"Carol, you are truly an artist. Not only have I had professional photographers tell me that your photos are "the best they've ever seen", but this package too! Wow. You have an uncanny ability to capture the most personal moments and the artful wedding package enhances the unique artistry of your work. The materials used have an earthy essence, very organic. Combine that with the print quality of the photos and your personal touches and you have a beautiful collection of memories. We want to thank you for making our wedding so special. From the bottom of our hearts, we love you Carol. You do amazing work."
