On Wednesday morning, several vendors and staff members from StudioWed woke up bright and early to volunteer at Open Hand Atlanta. For 25 years, Open Hand has focused on cooking and distributing balanced meals for those in need across the Metro Atlanta area.  On a typical day, the organization makes over 5,000 meals, and along with volunteers from Home Depot and the wonderful staff, we made 2,074 of those in three hours!

As we continued to pack meals, it was amazing to see how much food was produced. Both quality and quantity are important to Open Hand; everything is freshly cooked and must adhere to specific nutritional guidelines based on their clients’ dietary needs.

Here at StudioWed, we’re dedicated to incorporating teamwork, passion and hard work into everything we do. It was an honor to give back to the community by working with such a great cause. If you’d like to learn more about our company culture and The StudioWed Way, click here.

No two weddings are exactly alike; everything from the couples’ clothes to their cake can reflect their unique personality. Why should their wedding stationery be any different? If you need anything on paper (or even engraved in wood), Hi Note can create exclusive designs that you and your guests will treasure for years to come. Here are just a few of our personal favorites.

1. Urban Chic Stationery Suite

If you don’t prefer the lace and frills of a traditional wedding, stationery such as Hi Note’s Urban Chic suite would be a great way to showcase your unconventional style. The red and gold accents blend beautifully with the dark, gritty theme for a design that stands out from the crowd.

2. Champagne Flute Escort Cards

Whether you want to save a bit of table space or just want something different, these escort cards will add an extra element of sophistication to your wedding reception.

3. Passport Wedding Invitations

This passport inspired invitation set is perfect for a destination wedding. From the vibrant colors to the laser cut accents, your loved ones will wish they could use these as the real thing.

4. Wood Engravings

Wood engravings can add a rustic touch to the atmosphere of your reception. Whether they’re used as table numbers or a decorative medallion, these engravings would serve as the perfect conversation piece.

5. Watercolor Floral Suite

From the moment they open the envelope, your guests won’t be able to take their eyes off of this whimsical floral design. The gold accents and textured wood pattern in the background add a sophisticated flair to this already beautiful invitation.

If you want to capture the excitement and happiness of your wedding day, having beautiful pictures that you can cherish in the future is definitely a necessity. Janet Howard Studio combines emotional influence with cutting edge style to tell the full story of your big day.

As the winner of the Two Bright Lights Editor’s Choice Award and Wedding Wire Bride’s Choice Awards in 2012, Janet Howard’s photography is highly acclaimed throughout the wedding planning community. Her studio also has its own magazine filled with tips and inspiration, which is available to read here.

Here are what a few the couples who used this talented photographer had to say about her via Wedding Wire:

“Janet Howard is an incredibly talented photographer! She captures all the emotions and details of a wedding day in a way that tells a complete story. She also has a great eye for the special shots that take your breath away. Having Janet photograph your wedding feels like having another family member along for the celebration. She’s the best!”

“There are those who take pictures and there are those who embody moments. Janet embodies the moment – time and time again. Her photographs are bold, bright and beautiful. I feel like I can reach out and touch the photo, travel back in time and relive our wedding day over and over again. She was concerned with me not only as her customer, not only as a bride, but as a person. She kept in constant contact with me throughout the entire process. 

“Janet doesn’t look for cookie-cutter poses, instead she looks for fleeting moments and cements them into forever memories. The raw emotions that she captured in her camera lens conjure up several emotions. The main two? Happy tears. However ironic that is, one thing is for certain – Janet Howard is the best around!”

“Janet was a godsend! After a less than desirable experience with another photographer, we had to scramble and found Janet about a month before our wedding. And wow, what a difference! Her work is second to none and her professionalism in unmatched. She really has a knack for making you feel comfortable in front of the camera, which was beautifully displayed in our engagement and wedding photos. Her eye framed the shots perfectly and captured the true essence and emotion of our wedding. We are so happy that we chose Janet and love reliving our special day when we look through our photos!”
