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 12x12 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"....
Which is your favorite?
Here are the CD teasers for your listening pleasure...
Click to play their version of Time After Time (mushy anthem for all ears... wait for it to kick in at the chorus!)
Click to hear a whole new spin on Our Lips Are Sealed (lady gaga meets abba on the playground ala gogos!)
Click to play their rendition of Champs-Elysees (french classic lullaby in the spirit of an old record...)
And I can't help but share these hilarious outtakes from the album cover shoot....
And coming up next... the WEDDING!

Dearest Kelty, you continue to amaze all of us who are enthusiasts of your amazing photography. My late husband did a fair number of acclaimed photo-essays for LIFE Magazine, and I find myself wondering whether you are related!
