sugarlove masterclass: the invitation

We've been dying to share this great project we recently finished working on, for the lovely Leigh Taylor and Bradley Patrick of SugarLove Weddings (Bradley in fact photographed the wedding of my husband and I back in January 2009, so we are already huge fans of his amazing work).

SugarLove approached us to create a very special letterpress invitation for their upcoming SugarLove Masterclass event, a world-first leading photography workshop that aims to inspire and motivate creative talents in the photographic industry.

Together with the super talented Alicia Larriera at Form Over Function, we created this beautiful one-colour letterpress invitation, printed in a perfect shade of coffee (Pantone 7504) on our pillowy-soft ivory cotton stock, and paired with a cotton envelope lined with linen fabric. Each envelope featured calligraphy in chocolate ink to complete the look. We also printed some lovely tags to be used as placesettings for the lucky Masterclass students.

Bradley, who has photographed the likes of Elizabeth Taylor, Morgan Freeman, Nicole Kidman and Rose Byrne, will be sharing his 18 years of experience for the very first time in this exclusive two-day event (July 7 and 8 in Sydney), with red carpet opening night drinks on July 6.

For emerging professionals and lovers of photography, this is a fantastic opportunity to see a master of the trade at work - and it's not too late to purchase a ticket. Email info@sugarlovepictures.com or call (02) 9360 1127 for bookings and enquiries.

We've got a couple of other bits and pieces from the Masterclass project to show you, including some gorgeous letterpress gift tags that we printed for the cocktail party gift bags, but we'll wait until after the big event to reveal those!

Thanks so much Leigh and Bradley for asking us to be part of this very special event - it was such a pleasure to work with you xx
