Jerry Ghionis, a world-renowned wedding photographer, approached me to design and produce his latest book, Darling. With beautiful imagery to draw from, Jerry and I discussed creative direction. It was clear from the beginning that he wanted this book to be dedicated to his wife, Melissa.

Unlike other photography books I have designed, this one had a large amount of text. Like images, text has weight and feel on the page, so a lot of care was taken typographically. In addition, I designed the book carton mailers and graphics for the marketing of the book.

Darling was well received by Jerry and his fans selling out quickly. It also functioned as a nice branding tool for Jerry’s business.
