Pocketfolds for a Destination Wedding in Ocho Rios, Jamaica!

Rachael and Larry contacted me last year to help them create an invitation for their intimate wedding ceremony at RIU Ocho Rios. At first the couple wanted a coral monocromatic themed design engulfed with flowers. After a change from the original design, we decided on an Aqua and Cream Pocketfold with Palm tree motifs and backgrounds on all the inserts and main panels. Can you tell that Rachael was amazed when she saw them?

'Michelle, I received the invites today. Thank you so much! I love them! I appreciate all your help along the way!" Thank YOU Rachael! I hope your destination wedding was everything you'd hoped and more!

Why I havent posted in a while

1- I had a death in the family and as a result, could not work the whole month of MArch

2- I haven't had time to blog

3- If you use Blogger like I do, then you know that FTP blogs, blogs that are published/backed up on my fsob domain, will be obsolete as of May 1st. So, Ill migrate the blog over to Blogspot, and If I like it, ill stay with Blogspot, if not ill have to start a whole new blog on my new favorite, Wordpress. My photography blog is on WP and its pretty streamlined and easy to use.

I hope I haven't lost any of you and that you will continue to check in.

I have a couple of things i have been working on that need to go up as soon as i move over to Blogspot.

Thanks for reading!

Happy New Year!

Hello!

I feel like i have been posting on average every 3 months in the past year. I am being spread very thin these days but trust me, it is for a good reason; I am running two personal blogs, this one and my Michelle's Photos blog. I am the communications head for my company so i am in charge of a newsroom/blog and social network (FB/Youtube/Twitter, etc.) . And I head up a fan club for Jamel Shabazz, world renown photographer. Life is pretty hectic right now, so i don't have much time to do any personal blogging! But trust me i am not complaining. I embrace all of the attention and "calls of duty" LOL!

Here are some things ill be doing in the next month or so:

-Elizabeth and Aris' NYC themed "Seal and Sends" and ceremony programs.
-Etwaroo-Earle branding (more info to come...)
-Juanita and Larry's, champagne envelopments.
-Vendor Open House at Bubby's Brooklyn! Really excited for this : )
-An invite design based on the Ocho Rios map I made for Landra a year and a half ago.

And here is what i am doing in the next 3 months:
-Paulette and Joe's wedding photography
-Updating my website/changing the format so its more easy on the eyes...i may need an intern to help me with that one.
-More freelance photography!

I am so humbled that all of you have been so supportive of my work, and thank you for the kind messages. On top of all this I am working on some things that i cant quite reveal yet, but hope that i can let the cat out of the bag soon.

Wishing you all a prosperous new year
-Michelle
