So now that you have your beautiful new guest registry, you’re wondering which pen to use.

I suggest using an Extra Fine Point Sharpie, pictured in the foreground here and not to be confused with the Ultra Fine Point Sharpie, pictured in the background. The Extra Fine Point Sharpie will leave smooth lines and will not bleed through to the other side of the page.

Scatter a few extra on the table. I can guarantee that you’ll have a crowd over the book.

I am addicted to Asuka Books right now. Here’s the latest. A guest registry I designed for Marilyn & Danny using images from our San Francisco Engagement Session. Our contributing author, Melissa Napoleon, penned a beautiful poem to compliment the pictures.

Marilyn and Danny will use their book as a guest registry at their wedding. They will be married on May 17th at the luxurious Hotel Valencia located in European-inspired Santana Row.

Ever since Carolyn and Michael’s Asuka Coffee Table Book arrived the other day, I long to open it and turn the thick silky pages.

This is one of our custom designed coffee table books in which we use our images to illustrate a story told by the bride and groom.

Carolyn and Michael were married at St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Washington, D.C. and held their reception at Belle Haven Country Club in Alexandria, Virginia.

Our DC partner, Greg, and I, photographed this wedding, which was planned by highly sought-after DC planner Karie Lewicki of www. bellaamoreevents.com. The invitations were designed by Christina Barbour of Paperzest; the reception took place at the historic Hay Adams and featured a roof-top cocktail hour with a view of the White House; Petal’s Edge designed Jessica’s flowers and she ordered her cake from Charm City Cakes.
