A Martha's Vineyard Wedding

An elegant country wedding on our little island, Martha's Vineyard, was featured on Snippet & Ink today. What charm and style... Not too fussy, and oh so romantic.

The wedding was held in our Agricultural Hall, where the annual Martha's Vineyard Ag Fair is held, as well as countless community gatherings and celebrations. The rugged barn architecture contrasts so nicely with the sophisticated wedding details.

Photos by photographer Adrienne Page and details by planner Tara Guérard. It’s equal parts classic preppy and sophisticated rustic, and I know you’ll find tons of inspiration here, from the something-blue bouquet to the wedding menu board…

Storybook Albums » Melissa Perella Photography

Melissa Perella, a professional wedding photographer, has a really special approach to album design. Not only do her photos make every wedding look like a storybook, but her custom designed albums a masterpieces of storytelling and design. She doesn't take the common approach of ordering a standard, bland professional album, but instead chooses one of a kind handmade albums that take into account the personalities of every couple, their favorite colors, and their personal style. The resulting albums are simply breathtaking. We are always so excited to see what she will do with one of our albums.

“My love of photography is partnered by my enthusiasm for custom album design. I strive to create pieces which make clients rejoice in having a physical presentation piece, not just images tucked away on a disc! In the modern design world, I am a total renegade. I utilize no computer programs, templates, or typical technology in my design process. I am a purist and I consider my storybooks to be pieces of art, created by the technology of eyes, heart, and hands. I patronize only the best bookbinders and crafters: their work surpasses the highest standards and expectations of the industry. My books are not only visually appealing, but archival, functional, and of solid quality. Melissa Perella Storybooks contain real photographic prints, not images printed directly onto pages. Because of the nature of my books, I am able to include paper ephemera such as invitations, programs, printed poetry and quotations, to achieve the most unique heirloom pieces possible. Clients seeking a true conversation piece meant to be handed down to future generations need to look no further than my assortment of custom crafted books!”
