Nantucket Weddings Unveiled

This Nantucket wedding film blew us away so we HAD to share it here on the blog! We love the way that Meg has woven in all the scenic shots of the island, such an important part of every wedding weekend. The sounds bites, the music and all those amazing moments tell such a strong story it’s hard not to feel like you were there!

If you are planning for your September 25th, 2010 weekend wedding we have some news for you! Due to a sudden cancellation Meg is now available for that weekend, the most popular of the year! We’re sure she will be scooped right up so get in touch now to talk to her about your wedding film.

We welcome Sara from Griffin-vites today to chat a bit about one of her newest offerings!

Here at Griffin-vites studio, we LOVE designing paper for Nantucket weddings. There’s such a classic charm about the island… it’s so fun to translate a fresh, preppy look to the stationery sets. This season, one of our fantastic couples was looking to include a personalized map card within their invitation suite. Here’s a peek at our creation!

With a lot of time spent on Nantucket, our bride and groom are so excited to be holding their wedding in such a special place. Aside from incorporating artwork of all of the lighthouses, listing beaches and showing some well-known icons, they, of course, hoped for illustrations of their ceremony and reception spot (‘connected’ by a path of sweet teeny hearts), along with their rehearsal dinner location. The couple wanted to bring in personal details as well, conveying to their guests their fondness for this amazing coastal spot. With a deep-rooted passion for sailing, they asked that a grouping of beetle cats be featured on the cards — displaying not only their wedding date amid the colorful sails, but also their soon-to-be monogram. A love of the local bakery and sandwich shop in town topped our list of illustration requests, as well as renderings of some beautiful on-island family properties.

Additional touches, such as a large compass rose and Nantucket red ‘ACK’ (the island’s airport code) helped bring that nautical look to the maps. We thoroughly enjoyed creating these unique custom cards and hope their wedding guests are just as excited to receive them!’

I am so excited to share with everyone that Brea McDonald Photography is now offering a Photo Fun Booth for our clients!
About two weeks ago we launched our Photo Fun Booth at a Cape Cod wedding…. and lets just say it was a BIG hit!

As you can see the Photo Fun Booth can add a little something “extra” to the after-dinner portion of your evening; with fun props and silly faces the photo booth brings all kinds of guests together! It was  surprising how creative guests got when in the booth! It was impossible for anyone to walk away without a smile on their face.

The Photo Fun Booth is fully manned by one of our photographers to get the best shots possible AND get your guests rockin and rollin with some fun props (the sailors hat was a definite favorite of the night). We can use a standard white backdrop or work in a fabric that compliments your wedding day style. The booth is set up off to the side during your reception/welcome party and open for fun after dinner! A great addition to any fun filled weekend!.

If you are a bride in the North East then you know and love the magazine. It comes out twice a year and dazzles us with everything we love about New England.

The current issue out on stands now challenged Boston area florists to create luxe bridal bouquets inspired by three very different invitation sets. The feature is called ‘Perfect Pairings’ and showcases one of our favorite artists Sara from Griffin-vites! Check out the stunning apple orchard set that was selected below. Her watercolor artwork is perfect for capturing the texture of the seasons and sophisticated enough for any island wedding. Love the green in these apples!

This shoot is such a great concept…. hhhmmm… maybe something we can take on here at NWU?
