i love reliving a day through printed photographs. and every print i get is like putting a warm blanket over my shoulders and seeing my couples again, and their wedding day…i thumb through each picture, remember what we were talking about, what was being said behind me, who was excitedly squeezing my shoulder witnessing the same thing i was….feeling the same thing i was…at that single, timeless moment.
in this very digital age, it feels so good so give something real, something beautiful, and something you can actually hold in your hand as a document of your momentous, yet very short day (just a day…does it seem fair that a wedding is just ONE day after all of the planning and love that goes into it!).
these boxes, wrapped in fine linens or imported silk, remind me of my grandmother’s paper mache box that was tucked in the back shelf of her closet. it was filled with her most treasured mementos. wedding photographs, dress lace, a curl of my fathers black baby hair in a time stained envelope, my grandfather’s World War II medals….handkerchiefs. i would go through them with my little fingers….and she would smile as she told the story of each one.
and another goody came in today….and i keep taking back out of the box to look at it….
i just LOVE this storyboard I designed for Natacha and Chris (and their sweet pup). printed on linen based Fuji paper, backed with a sturdy core, and then finished with a protective spray, this 16 x 24 print will last for 100 years (or more!).
