Please welcome Sarah of Parisi Images – don’t forget to visit her blog for additional images and vendor resources for the products shown below!
Since starting my photography business in 2007, I have worked hard at honing my brand into one that is both timeless and versatile. It has always been important to me that my branding allow my images to speak for themselves, giving the photographs center attention and not the design. Similarly, it’s been important that the branding emphasize the story-telling approach I take when photographing weddings.When designing my identity system (I am a professional designer as well as photographer), I took cues from the design and layout of old newspapers, magazines (namely Life) and advertisements. This meant that I kept my color palette to the simple combination of black, white and kraft. Over time, as I added more pieces – namely the 8×8 brochure booklet – I included additional colors pulled directly from my images—colors like navy, burnt orange, magenta and deep kelly green.
Perhaps the two most important pieces in my branding so far are the kraft folders and the 8×8 12-page informational brochure booklet. The kraft folders (folders from Paper Presentation and letterpress logo printed by Cranky Pressman) offer me a great way to provide prospective and current clients with packets of information as well as giving me an easy-to-ship way to package fine art prints. The informational brochure/booklet is meant to be a stand-out piece that I mail to any bride who inquires about my services.
Other items in my identity system pieces include a square 2×2 business card on kraft paper, an A2 flat card I use to write handwritten notes of all sorts (I intentionally decided to make a generic card so that I could use them for all occasions), custom post-it notes and, of course, logo stickers and shipping labels.
