happy friday: jessica + ryan's wedding

A special congrats to the stunning bride, Jessica and her charming groom, Ryan who got married on June 23 at Sea Pines Country Club in Hilton Head Island! It was so nice working with Jessica and Jenn at Hammerpress to do the calligraphy for the couple's invitation suite, along with a 3-letter monogram and some words and phrases for their wedding programs and thank you cards.

I took a quick photo of a few of the stationery pieces and I hope to have professional pics of this suite on the new website coming soon so stay tuned!

And here are some gorgeous pics of Jessica and Ryan on their wedding day which were photographed by Stephanie Fay - such a sweet couple!

Congrats Jessica and Ryan! It was such a pleasure creating the lettering for your special day and I am honored to be a part of it all! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness!

happy friday: mm ink in occasions magazine: part 2

This week, I am so excited to share beautiful photos from the 2 Occasions Magazine style shoots that I had the pleasure of doing calligraphy for. If you missed the first one (city chic style), check it out here.

For the second style shoot, I worked with two of my favorite gals, Ashley Baber of Ashley Baber Weddings, and Lisa Hladish of Paper Daisies Stationery to help create fun, fresh and modern stationery items.  Emails and calls from these two talented and sweet ladies are the best; and they are always the beginning of what I know will be something fabulous! This shoot was just that, and Lisa did an amazing job (as usual) with the stationery designs and incorporating my calligraphy throughout. Here are some lovely photos from the shoot photographed by ArtStar Photography.

(Calligraphy for this feature: custom names and words/phrases for the invitation suite, flourished hand-drawn bird, 2-letter monogram, escort cards, and envelope addressing)

I love this cake by Sharon of Sweet Sensations! Hi Sharon!!!! :)

And one of the photos from this shoot made the cover!!!!!!!

I am so thankful for these opportunities to showcase my work and share my creative talents with some of the best in the industry! Special thanks to Ashley, Lisa and Occasions Magazine..... xoxoxo.

Happy Friday! 

mm ink in occasions magazine: part 1

I am still all smiles about being featured in this Summer's issue of Occasions Magazine! This magazine is such a great resource for any social event; and the party style section is loaded with great ideas. For this issue, I had the pleasure of doing the calligraphy for two of the party style shoots. The first is a City Chic Summer Romance themed shoot with the awesome planner Michelle of Lemiga, Sarah with Foglio Press, and an amazing group of other vendors.

Michelle wanted a classic yet modern feel for the stationery pieces and with that in mind, Sarah (it was so great working with Sarah!) and I created lovely stationery pieces that captured both a summer romance and city chic vibe. Here are some stunning images from the shoot taken by Vue Photography.

(Calligraphy for the feature: custom names, words/phrases for the invitation suite, 2-letter monogram, envelope addressing, table numbers, names for place cards, and je t'aime sign)

And here's the feature!!!! (special thanks to Michelle, Sarah, the Occasions Mag team, and Genya - I am so honored to be a part of this fab shoot!):
