about moi

Details. Thump Thump. Beauty. Pitter Patter. Love. Whoosh Whoosh.

An amazing photograph: serious heart attack.

I find that my mind and my body work better, more effectively and more efficiently when I’m immersed in life’s details. I have a wicked habit of honing in on the things that for others might go unnoticed. And after a lifetime of calling this habit: wretched perfectionism, or an obsessive-compulsive tendency, or a passion, I have decided to label it: just me. My path.

This path led me here: Weddings. Couples. Communication. Paper. Design. Photos. Life’s Grandest Events. Travel. Antiquing.

I am a firm believer in all things beautiful; all things unique; and all things with a story. Through event design, I work to share my love for details with others by encouraging them to share their own story through life’s details.

Whether it’s brainstorming an invitation suite that speaks to a couples love and unity, or creating a vision for a photo shoot while incorporating a family’s most precious heirlooms, or designing & crafting a wedding day full of the details that make a couple scream: “you, me, us!” I’m hands down, without a doubt completely obsessed with details.

My blog in turn is my oasis of all the details in my home, my life, my career, and my world that make my heart sing – put simply: the details that inspire me. I also often share current musings in the land of weddings, as well, this is where my heart really gets singing.

Thanks for allowing me to share my details with you, and if you ever need me to assist you in creating a day, an event, or a photograph that bursts at the seams with the details that make your heart go pitter-patter, please let me know!

    Jenn!

    What a natural fit for you. Thinking of your amazing inventiveness, organization and follow through around multiple events for our couples, it is easy to see you developing your own “papier” business. So many of us are already in love with your creations and gifts in this area, you have a ready-made clientele. Already thinking of upcoming events requiring decorations/gifts for which I may enlist your savvy and sage advice. You go, girl!!

    Jenn,

    The jblake papier blog is a very nice start on your business and creativity goals. Mom and I are looking forward to having you “work your magic” for Sarah and Tristan’s upcoming wedding in about 4 months! Let me know how we can assist you and keep it going.

    Love Jeff and Janice (Dad and Mom Elliott)

  7. How lovely. I fully agree that a beautifully wrapped gift is a wonderful expression of care and love. When I receive a package with nice presentation, it lifts my spirits. Best wishes on your quest for a little papier venture!

    When Jenn created the baby announcements for our little girl, June, I was simply blown away. Her style carries a subtle sensibility with an offbeat flair that felt tailor-made for us. It’s the Haute Couture of the paper world!

    June’s nickname throughout pregnancy was “ladybug,” and Jenn presented an announcement that had hints of ladybug whimsy on an expertly chosen black, grey, red, and white palate. The Pièce de résistance was a petite ladybug button tastefully tied with red and white string. They were the perfect combination of class and style. I felt so proud to honor June-bug’s arrival with one-of-a-kind announcements full of such poise and perfection! THANK YOU JENN!!!

    I’m working in advertising and honestly some of your pictures could easily work for some of my clients.
