Thank you postcards

Keep in mind Blush Imagery’s custom-created 4×6 or 5×7 thank you postcards for your 2010 / 2011 wedding. I love, love, love these! I’ve designing these for my couples for 9 years now. The benefit to postcards is simple: every guest receives an additional keepsake from your wedding with your personal note. On the front, we use a favorite image in color or black and white; with text or no text— in whatever font and color. On the back, we add a black and white text or simply leave it blank for your personal note. Once ordered, we create 5 postcard designs for you to begin the process.

For the family and friends who couldn’t travel or make the wedding, it is just a wonderful way to show them your day.

Here’s a few simple thank you postcards designed for 2009 Maine weddings of brides Caitlin & Patrick and Jimmy & Rachel.

Sean and Shawna’s Boston engagement

Sean and Shawna flew in from Washington D.C. for just one weekend for their engagement session. The fun-loving professionals wanted not-so-posed images that were relaxed, comfortable, and casual. No problem!

Shawna and I talked several times before our session together about what to wear and where to photograph. Our hearts were set on outdoor Boston locations. No— urrr problem! It poured Friday. I don’t mean drizzled. I mean poured. Luckily, as a Maine wedding photographer, I have lots of experience in creatively working in the rain. I received a bunch of troubled facebook comments from fellow pro photographers who thought I was crazy to attempt a session in that much rain. But when you specialize in New England destination weddings and couples come from far away … the show must go on!

To add to the challenge, Boston’s Faneuil Hall Marketplace was still packed with the typical tourist groups, school field trip kids and shoppers. People packed into the malls and under the porches to avoid the weather. With so many people about, we squeezed from location to location using the space we had— capturing the hustle of the area and the romance of the rain.

I think we did GREAT! Sean and Shawna were THE best! Their easy-going nature made for fantastic images despite the challenge of the rain. Their happiness really shows. I had a wonderful time chatting, walking and swapping umbrellas with them in Boston. I am really excited now to hang out with them on their wedding day! You guys were such good sports, thanks!

There’s so much to show, here are a few favs of mine! Happy rain days!

Testimonial on Wedding Wire from Libby

Happy Friday to me! I just saw that our 2009 bride Libby gave this Maine wedding studio a super cool rating on Wedding Wire. Thanks Libby! We so appreciate it! Happy weekend! Beth :)

Leigh and Austin’s Save The Date

Just wanted to share Leigh and Austin’s save the date card. This yellow, happy card fits this kind, high energy couple perfectly. They chose a fun photo from all of their engagement images. Can’t wait to see you both for our agenda meeting next week! Wow, it’s getting close to the big day! Time flies!
