In 2020 my wife and I teamed up to make the best wedding invitations that have ever existed. We decided that a wedding (really just love, in general) is all about making a choice to be with someone forever. It's about blazing your own path, together. That idea, plus the fact that our wedding was taking place on Halloween, led us to use a "Choose-Your-Own-Adventure" kind of vibe.
Kayla is an incredible illustrator so she made these amazing illustrations. The invitation is meant to invoke that Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew/Scooby-Doo kind of mystery solvers aesthetic. This worked especially well since we got married at the Woodruff-Fontaine House, a spooky historical mansion. The Thank You card is meant to show us on our honeymoon together in Japan (a trip that Covid has made difficult to accomplish - one day we're gonna make it over there!). She totally nailed both pictures and I couldn't be more stoked to be a part of it. Then, in an effort to pull my own weight I did most of the custom lettering and all the layout work and production. We actually had the front of the invitations gold-leafed! And honestly? They look incredible. Also, the photos on the Save The Dates were taken by Kayla's incredibly talented cousin, Jenni Kilburn. It was a real group effort!
