Paperie is excited to feature an amazing two-part “packaging and presentation” series by Lindsay Alexander Photography! Please help us welcome Lindsay for this “Part II – Wedding Welcome Packet” guest post. (You can view Lindsay’s first post “Part I – Packaging” here.)




Hi, I’m Lindsay – a lifestyle and wedding photographer based in Fort Mill, South Carolina. After four years of business, I knew that I was ready for a change. When you own your own business and YOUR NAME is at the forefront of what you do, you want your product to be TRUE to who YOU are! Yes, I loved my old look . . . it was me THEN. I just wanted my new look to be ME NOW! I wanted everything to speak to the heart of why it is that I have this business in the first place and it took time and development as an artist and business owner to know that.

(Please click on each of the photographs below for a larger pop-up version. And visit Lindsay’s “Welcome Packet” post on her blog for a detailed explanation of each of the photos you see here.)

The sheets for my Wedding Welcome Packet were printed as flyers on high gloss paper. The bridal and e-session cards are rack cards and the groom card is a 5×7 watercolor card from WHCC. The large kraft envelopes and folders are from Paper Presentation.

Paperie Boutique would like to introduce our newest sponsor – Animoto!

“Animoto was founded in 2005 with the vision of inspiring people to share their lives through the magic and power of video. Animoto’s founders include veterans of the entertainment industry and have produced shows for MTV, Comedy Central, & ABC, studied music in London, and played in indie rock bands in Seattle.

Today, Animoto is a video creation service (online and mobile) that makes it easy and fun for anyone to create and share extraordinary videos using their own pictures, video clips, words and music.”

Please help us welcome Animoto to the Paperie family, and read more about Animoto for professional photographers here.

We are gearing up for our 4th annual birthday party in mid-July and we’d love to have you be a part of it all!
