Archiving the Dress

You've searched high and low for the perfect wedding dress, the big day comes, you wear it, celebrate and after, in the box it goes, waiting, patiently, that just maybe, someday, someone else will come along and wear it again. But before that pretty little dress finds a new home in the hall closet or heads out to shine for another blushing bride, why not archive your special dress with an avant guarde portrait? Photographer, Dorothy O'Oconnor, has been capturing the feminine spirit of the wedding dress for many sentimental brides with her 4x5 camera, creating portraits that will tell the unique, dreamy story over and over again. How sweet is that? And wouldn't it make for a lovely anniversary gift?

little priceless gifts..........

Thought I would share this little special wedding gift we received today from our friends in Spain. It's a bound book by, Album Digital of photographs from our wedding. I have to say, I have been so impressed with the creative and personal gifts we've received but this one is absolutely priceless!
Also, in an older posts, I spoke about a digital book design company called, Mac&Cheese, this is another great option not to mention chic and stylized one, for archiving those precious moments.........

archiving unforgettable moments....

Now that we've picked our photographer, I can start thinking about how we would like to archive our special day. Months ago, I remember reading about a small company called, Mac&Cheese, which creates beautiful archival custom photos books. So perfect!
