Exciting times: my latest assignment

Isis & Michel, 2010
My oldest daughter, Isis, is engaged to be married. The date she and her fiance, Michel, are aiming for is May 27, 2012. The event will be taking place in New York City. When I got married, I did not have the opportunity to go through the “wedding planning” stage (…that’s another story I’ll dive into… but we’ll let it slide for now). I do recognize that there is a lot of work involved… and when they got engaged in June of this year I knew this was going to be some very exciting times. Here we are approaching September. Lawd… things are gonna fly!
Isis gave me a call over the weekend and asked me if I would do the design of her stationary (ie. engagement party invitations, wedding invitations, etc) to which I responded: Of course, I will! She has a girlfriend that does beautiful photography. Over the years, Isis has been one of her photo subjects and the results are always stunning! Having a fabulous base to start with is a god-send.
Now, between me and you… this is where clear heads, true communication, the melding-of-the-minds AND the internet comes into play because I live here in Montreal (Canada), Isis lives in Washington (DC) and her girlfriend (Shannon, the photographer) is based out of Atlanta, GA. Time is short and we have to be on point!
I viewed the latest photo proofs. Love ‘em all! My daughter is going for a smoothe retro-theme. She’s always been very stylish and individualistic. When she graduated from highschool she set the bar with her stylized Josephine Baker-look (marceled hair et al). The engagement photos that Shannon took reflect her mind-set beautifully. This is going to be a delicious challenge. I’ll keep you posted.
