It is virtually impossible to do everything at every wedding. I always have my camera with me to capture the weddings that I have planned and designed and I often publish my own photography to my own style blog. When throwing a five star wedding I know that you need to a team of professionals around you to make the day possible. To make memories possible, a top notch wedding photographer is certainly a must at a chad michael peters wedding. In the course of working with Amy and Gregg, my dashing bride and groom who flew in from Texas to be married at the incredible Chatham Bar's Inn, we reviewed lots of photographers that I was happy to reccomend. The work that jumped out at them was indeed the work of Bryce Vickmark.

Bryce and I have worked together on other events. Each time I am impressed with his tireless running and running to capture every last detail, emotion of nuance of light. His work is amazing and I am happy to have worked with him. I just got these images from Bryce's blog and had to share them with you. Each one of these incredible wedding photo Congratulations Amy and Gregg!!

Within a suite of wedding stationery, the invitation should be the pinnacle of details and design. It is sometime difficult when planning and designing the print material to make sure that all of the details are accomplished within both budget and design guidelines. I often advise the bride to add a motif or design as a simple flat printed motif. Here, I got to it with my sketch pad and created a hand drawn arching tree detail that perfectly sets the tone for the wedding of my dear friend Meliissa at the Museum of The Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. My print partner's Praez Occasions did a marvelous job in mirroring the image and creating a wonderful proof for the bride and her family to review.

There were some changes from the proof process to the finished invitation that went out to the bride, her family and their guests. In the end, we decided to use a gate fold style of outer card and to trim it with a cellophane wrap. The guest would open the card to an inner mounted card, in a deep berry shaded border that would have all of the invitation details to the wedding.
