PERSONAL PROJECT

Emily & Mason get married

"We vow to live our values
of inclusion, justice, and acceptance; to work together spread those values in
the world."

When Emily and Mason reached out to me with the wild idea of theming their wedding around their queer and feminist heroes, I didn't expect it to turn into one of the most enjoyable and educational projects I've ever had a chance to work on.

What started with a small suite of materials (save the date, table numbers, a thank you card) turned into 15 portraits of beautiful and powerful change-makers, and a whole gaggle of pieces to use the day of — as exuberant as the bride and groom themselves.
