About Me: I've been practicing the art of calligraphy since the age of 12 and nothing gives me more pleasure than waking up each morning knowing I get to do what I do each day. I love having the ability to infuse my own personal style into each of my bride's special day. When I'm not working, I enjoy traveling, hiking, reading and painting; but most of the time I don't consider calligraphy to be work at all!
We thought it would be fun to share another one of our new emotional maps! The emotional maps detail out a couple’s journey to each other and then together to their wedding day.

This bride and groom were both born on the East Coast, shared their first date in Massachusette in 2004, and also shared their second “first date” in 2006! You can see the dates and trips that are important to them, such as their summer trip to Maine, date to the Science Museum, and winter trip to New York City.

We were so happy when this bride asked us to do a map and itinerary for her Puerto Rican wedding coming up this month - especially since I myself visited the island just this past January!

We are so pleased to share our very first world map! A lovely couple asked us to create a map of the whole world, indicating both places they have been, and also places they have yet to travel.

We were happy to create many new icons to mark the well-known monuments such as the pyramids in Egypt, the mountains of Machu Pichu, Peru, and of course the columns in Greece!
Whether you prefer our traditional custom maps, an emotional map, or a world map, there is something for everyone and nothing we won’t try!

We recently worked on a wedding taking place at the Adamson House in Malibu, CA. We always love this venue and this wedding was especially gorgeous. Elegantly low-key, this fete had a “backyard wedding” feel that was successfully pulled together by the ever-so-talented Beth Helmstetter.

Here is an adorable of map of Sanibel and Captiva islands down in the Gulf of Mexico that was used as a wedding announcement. The happy couple was married on Sanibel Island, then held a reception the following month back in the states. All of our maps are personal, but this bride clued us in to many of the meanings!

Here is an adorably whimsical save-the-date map that we recently did of the Dana Point, CA area.

The bride and groom wanted a fun, romatic scene chock full of their favorite locations such as Turks, Wind N Sea Restaurant, Hobbies Surf Shop and more! They even included the Old Drive-In movie theater and Market Beach Market - aka “Baby Sandwich Store” - how sweet!
The couple will wed at the Forster Mansion, and you can see from the map that they drive off on their “just married” motorcycle.

Oftentimes we get a map request for a city we’ve never done (first ever Idaho map in the works!). But with major cities, and sometimes islands, we often do a map for the same city two or three or more times. Here is an example of two Washington, D.C. maps.

Thank you to Linda at Soco Events for sharing these photos of our work from a May 2009 wedding!
The elegantly designed menus looked amazing with the table arrangements.

The escort cards were simple yet elegant, delightfully arranged near the bar area with this gorgeous floral arrangement.

This May 2009 wedding took place in the quaint town of Litchfield, Connecticut. The map features the reception venue, White Flower Farm. As you can see the farm has a home, horse basin and retail store. We were able to also incorporate the lovely nearby lake and of course the church were the ceremony was held.
Custom maps can be created for any town or city in any country and will feature all of the locations that exemplify you as a couple! We love being able to truly create any look to match your taste and overall wedding style.
