Peterson Design and Photography

I had never done a rehearsal dinner invite before! I think it is a really neat thing to have as part of your wedding stationery. This was designed to match Anna and Brendon's invitation suite and save the date , but with a slightly different design element from one of the previous drafts of their invitation and a photo from their engagement session. Enjoy!

I just finished up Anna and Brendon's invitation suite and their save the date was designed to match. I'm really pleased with how it turned out, and I love their wedding colors! Enjoy!

Anna is a student at my alma mater Biola University and she is graduating in December and getting married in April! She is also the sister-in-law to one of my good friends from college. I am designing all the stationery elements of Anna and Brendon's wedding and we are starting off with the save the dates with a picture from their wedding photographer.  Enjoy!

Daniel and Linda have been dating since high school! Daniel first asked out Linda with a boquet of wilty flowers and a surprised Linda said yes :) They dated for eight years throughout their times at separate colleges and got engaged last year at the most exclusive place in Disneyland: Club 33 . If you couldn't guess, they are major Disney fans :)  We did a lot of different things during our session together both with a variety of fun props and two different locations, Craig Park and Downtown Fullerton . Daniel and Linda are a sweet, loving couple and our session was so fun!  Click any image to launch a larger viewing window. Enjoy!

It is rare to find a couple in their mid-40s who have never been married before, but this is just one of the ways Nicki and Mike are a special couple! For example, on their first date, instead of going to get coffee like everyone does on a first date, they decided to get soup! So now for every anniversary, they celebrate with soup. :) This wedding was very unique because it was....on the water! They got married on gondolas in the Long Beach/Naples harbor at Gondola Getaway and then had their reception at Alfredo's just next door on the beach. It was such a wonderful night celebrating their love for one another in very personal and special ways. Mike, who is a musician, had never played for Nicki before and wrote a song for her that he performed at the reception. He sang, "We're gonna get married and we're gonna be happy!" Her joyful face was beyond words. Nicki is an art director, so she worked on all the stationery: the invitations, signs, gondola tickets and fan...
