Organic Granola save the date card photos by Neil on this snowy outdoor shoot…

These save the date cards were shot in February in Upstate New York reflecting this couple’s unique love story.

Tom proposed to Kelly while they were loading firewood.

Painfully romantic I know – keeping the fires burning hot to make it through these brutal Buffalo winters (-:

You can see other winter portrait sessions for save the date cards with the tag ‘winter’ and you can get a picture for all the possibilities with snow.

For the back of the postcard they chose a crazy fun picture with a wild angle showing them having a blast with each other.

They had so many great options for their cards they had a hard time deciding but liked the vertical format and the sparkling water in this shot.

Here’s one of their save the date card designs, front above is for self mailing – and the previous one needs an envelope:

This over sized postcard (8×5″wide by 5.5″ high) demands full postage from the post office whether or not you mail it as a flat (without envelope) so I generally recommend you use the full space and enclose it within an envelope.

You can look forward to their wedding in September.

Beth & Wade helped me finalize their save the date postcards today, and I thought since you probably don’t have the privilege of being on their guest list – I’d give you a peak no less.

 

That’s putty and Olive prancing in the picture, it was imperative that they get their moment in the spotlight.

Beth and Wade’s display preferences tended toward the organic and natural and they represented those preferences in both the choice of shoot location and the toning and retouching of the images for their save the date cards.

Here’s a few more images from their engagement session.

I also helped Beth and Wade put together a simple website.
