Define your style with details that work

After majoring in Political Science, I went to law school; It seemed like the logical choice, that's how Annie discretely describes life

before paper.  I just didn't like what I was doing.  As if there were a big hole in her heart, Annie sifted through government jobs but found no solace.

Annie decided after a year of law school to take a leap of faith. She was in the middle of planning her own wedding

when it happened. I loved weddings, and loved to design. Why not do something that involved both?

After getting her start at a local stationery store, she started a family and began designing custom invitations from home, but one day in 2005 the stars aligned and provided an opportunity to open her own store- the Envelope.  

 

I feel...blessed, she beams as she lets her gaze wonder to her surroundings of creatively arranged fine paper and cozy furnishings.

Annie rocked it out with these images, she is clearly a natural.

Annie has plenty of samples, pre-made options, and novelty gifts. More importantly is her rich selection of papers--a kaleidoscope of color options-- plethora of fonts, and the latest designs for any style. The exciting experience

is getting to sit down with Annie and creating something original for your wedding. Like a brand, it will be personal, unique, and exactly what you want.

And that's not all! She has also partnered with Dorothy Lane Market's amazing bakery. The bakery will create

a cake to match any of Annie's designs. They put so much effort into their cakes, I just love working with them! With a look of pride she

shows us a few display cakes and marvels over the delicate detail which flawlessly compliments her designs.

Tips for Brides: 

• Send your save-the-date notices 6 to 12 months in advance
• It is actually inappropriate to put your registry with invitations
• (Charity K Photography offers personal wedding sites where you can list this information appropriately with links to the stores!)
•  Include names of people who host your wedding
•  Receptions held at different locations should be announced on a separate card
•  Always double check your invitation before print
• The invitations are a guests first impression of your wedding--make it a lasting impression
• Your invitations should go out 6-10 weeks before your wedding date
•  View your necessary paper products as another way to carry out your theme of color and design

PS. I LOVE wedding details. I personally feel that details are so important on a brides special day, they make a beautiful wedding into an extraordinary wedding. Creating something unique and really putting your heart on the line for every client is so important. This is something you won't  find just anywhere. Quality and experience are key when planning an extraordinary wedding that will have everyone talking.

It's a family thing (Dayton Ohio Portrait Photographer)

This past weekend my sister came for a visit from Florida with her beautiful family!  She was only in town for a few days so most of our time was spent making mad dashes to different family outings, "um table for 20 please."  The time went so fast that we only had 30 minutes before her flight left to squeeze in a mini session. We will get to that in a minute, but first I would like to end my rambles with something I learned this week. I undoubtedly did not pick my family of seven brothers and sisters, obviously because when I would have been sizing up the list of worthy candidates, I would have picked a group who shared my interest, possibly a group that knew I was right about everything. But these guys, I mean we never agree on anything, we refuse to hear each other's side on any situation, and we blame the others hands down for making our mother gray (Obviously I had nothing to do with that).  Yet these are the same seven siblings that can make me laugh so hard it hurts my sides, the ones who understand with just a look, the ones that know exactly what to say to make me feel whole again. So even though I did not pick them or their families, they are all I could ever want. Now who wants to see the cutest kid in a Elmer Fud hat?
