I walked around the room, chatting with old friends and making new ones. When I got to Leah of Illuminated Invitations' booth, I fell in love with her work. At the end of the table sat one of the neatest save the date cards. To create it, she had her clients go home and take a bunch of pictures and send them to her. She then took those pictures, lined them up vertically to made them look like an authentic photobooth strip, and fixed on to the main card with a ribbon. So ingenious!
It was fun to be able to spend a little time getting to know Leah and taking some updated pictures for her business. Leah, I can't wait to photograph more of your work at a wedding!

These last two sets show designs Leah has created for her clients based on their preferences. They can choose the one they like best or take their favorite aspects of each design and create a new card!
