Part II of the most insanely unique Hi-Fi Wedding that is Hannah & Alex continues with Kelty’s description of their awesome album art, which were favors at the wedding!

What do you get when you mix two rockstar lovers, about a thousand rainbow dahlias, handmade crafts galore, a smelly cobwebbed barn, a table covered in candy, a skyscraper of an oak tree, and around a hundred screaming fans?…..

You may remember my twin sister, Hannah, from previous posts (bridal and engagement shoots)…Well, she and Alex just got hitched! They opted out of run-of-the-mill wedding portraits and hired me to create the following eight record covers for their wedding favors! They donned their wedding ensembles (Hannah in a custom green and buttercup yellow gown and Alex in a silver suit) and let my mixed media instincts run amok, free to create their “faux real” worlds… Hannah and Alex then recorded covers of three of their favorite songs in a matter of a few days, doing all of the instrumentals and vocals themselves, (listen below!) and had a blast whipping together the music in a sweet and silly way.

We then used the collages to make little cd jackets for the guests and also as larger 12×12 prints to decorate the barn. What resulted was an incredibly personal, super-hip, cheesy-to-the-max Hannah and Alex original series that I believe fits their wacky personalities and true-blue love to a T. They described what they wanted as “Elementary School meets Vogue meets Warhol meets Secret Agent meets Soap Opera”….
