Featured in Martha Stewart’s Real Weddings Special Issue 2012

This post has been something I’ve been holding in for months and am so stoked to reveal: I’ve been included in Martha Stewart’s Real Weddings Special Issue 2012 for Rachael + Anthony’s Rustic Elegant Wedding Invitations! Ever since I was little, it was a dream of mine for something I’ve done to be published in a public forum. Enter Martha. So stoked!

Rachael Nicole Photography Rebranded

Over the last year, I feel like my heart has been tugged several times to, in the midst of a crazy, busy, I don’t even have time to stop for coffee even though I’m absolutely exhausted life, to really stop and focus on the things that matter. To slow down a little and focus on the significant in the midst of making grocery lists, dusting (white dog that sheds + black furniture = bad idea), printing out stat sheets for this weekend’s tournament, training for a half marathon, sending brides PDF’s of invites I’ve put my heart and soul into and all the other items listed on the 3 to-do lists I have shoved in my planner. I’ve perfected the art of putting on makeup in the car, sending emails at stoplights and changing my clothes in parking lots. I have over exhausted the idea of multi-tasking.

But I’m learning that it doesn’t have to be that way. I don’t have to be typing on my computer while I’m watching my favorite TV shows, that I can grab a pillow and a blanket and actually watch my favorite shows. That it’s ok to take 10 minutes to lay on the floor and play with my puppies. My outfit doesn’t have to match, my hair can be in a ponytail and dinner doesn’t have to be homemade every night. I’ve learned that life doesn’t have to be as complicated as I think it does. That actually, it’s pretty simple. That the Lord, Dan, my family and my friends are what matter. Period.

That theory, my friends, is the guts behind Rachael Nicole Photography’s new branding. Simplicity. That behind each and every prop of a vintage-styled photo shoot is a boy and a girl. Or a family. Or a newborn baby. And THAT is what matters.

Check it out here.

Rach, your heart is evident in your work and is an inspiration. Thanks for the honor.

Crystal + Jon’s Vintage Country Wedding Invitations

I wish Americans talked the way Australians do, we would be so much more interesting to listen to. For this invitation suite, I went for a vintage, country type feel. I used a combination of textures to create an rustic, outdoor-sy type feel. I combined simplistic text with geometric shapes to set a relaxed tone and chose some country-inspired fonts to give it a homey, warm, mama’s home cookin’ type of feel. The couple’s wedding logo was meant to reflect a canning jar label to reinforce that emotion. Crystal and Jon – may your wedding be full of all sorts of warm feelings.

Katie + Brian’s Joyful Retro Wedding Invitation

“Love is when you’re happy of someone.”

The theme in which this stationery set was designed around was “joy.” I wanted the piece to exude happiness, be welcoming and draw the viewer in. I used the starburst to draw the eye and simple type choices to keep the invitation casual and laid back. The banners were chosen to represent the fun and excitement of such an important celebration.
