Introducing my new logo!!!
Thanks to the wonderful Calligrapher, Elizabeth Porcher Jones!!!!  I met Elizabeth for the first time through our wonderful family friend Elmira Weston when Elizabeth was "creating" her daughter, Keenan's wedding invitations and envelopes.  I say creating because you can't call her work calligraphy, it does it no justice!  Elizabeth creates a true form of writing as an art, in my eyes.

After seeing the work she did on Keenan's invitations/envelopes, my mother and I just had to have the same...so we copied the Weston's...and hired her too to do our wedding invitations and envelopes!  She also did the napkins, sketch of our church on our church wedding program, and return card and envelope (not pictured).  She has a true talent!!!!  See some of her work below.  I am also happy to announce that she has asked me to take some pictures of her work for her website that will be coming soon!

I also must include that the invitations were a high priority for me while planning our wedding.  Since I majored in Printing at Clemson University, and worked in the field for over 5 years, I had great expectations!  The invitation was engraved (Southern Engraving) on very thick stock and the ink was a special ink match to our blue.  Since we were having our wedding in Atlantic Beach, NC, I wanted it to be classic and not too formal, hence the beautiful script and the simple all caps handwriting of Elizabeth!

So with that...thank you Elizabeth!!!  I just love the classic simple look of it, and of course I love the "King" too!  :)
