A preface: as a wedding photographer, very few of my clients send me an invitation to their wedding. I completely understand this! When I got married, I sure didn't bother to send my photographer an invitation. After all, they're paid to be there! Plus, fancy invitations can cost a pretty penny in production and postage.

And it's not like they don't know if I'm going to be there or not, either! I'm in frequent communication with my couples prior to the wedding, making plans, discussing timelines, and getting excited about the venue.

So imagine my surprise when Mariko and Jeff's invitations came in the mail the other day!

They're having their wedding at the Irvine Nature Center in Baltimore this April, and so I absolutely went ga-ga over the leafy nature theme they used all over the invitations--Audobon-like imagery, paper color, hand-stamping, and a delicate typeface too!

April can't come fast enough!
