In a digital world, the art of the tangible holds a special significance

a boutique stationery studio

Of Light & Letters is a full-service stationery studio based out of the Boston, Massachusetts area. With over four years of experience as a wedding stationer and even more as a calligrapher, I am here to help you create a cohesive wedding brand that tells your love story. 

I have found myself drawn to the process of creating for as long as I can remember. While it has revealed itself differently throughout my life, the same throughline of collaborative creation remains. I grew up in the competitive dance world, bringing choreography to life alongside my team. Academically, I earned degrees in both chemistry and higher education, which now allow me to bring a strategic perspective and relational approach to my work as a designer. 

In a digital world, the art of the tangible holds a special significance. After your wedding day is over, the food has been eaten, your feet hurt from dancing, and the flowers have died, there is something meaningful about holding a physical keepsake in your hands. Through intentional design, custom artwork, and hand-drawn calligraphy, we can create an heirloom to be treasured for years to come. 

“Marriage is one of the most humbling, sanctifying journeys you will ever be a part of.”

Here at Of Light & Letters, I value not only the pretty paper, but preparing well for marriage. Engagement is a brief, but incredibly special season. I believe you should be present rather than stressing over wedding plans. My full-service process is personalized and hands-on, allowing you to enjoy your engagement while your guests rave about the beautiful invitations in their mailbox. 

I believe that the beauty of your wedding day exists in telling your personal love story, celebrated alongside those who will cheer you on in the commitment to forever. The decisions made for your wedding are meant to be unique and personal to you, and your invitations are no exception. I would love to help celebrate your love story.

meet emily

I currently reside in a small town outside of Boston with my husband, Steven. Hospitality is a big focus in our personal lives, which has translated vocationally for me. You can often find us going out for a great meal, serving in our church community, or hosting our loved ones.

The name Of Light & Letters originates from Matthew 5:16, an influential verse in my faith journey and one I abide by in my work.

Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

This is my absolute favorite time of year! You can usually find me at one of the Gloucester beaches or sipping a fresh cocktail on a patio.

I have become fully hooked on reformer Pilates - it has been a game changer for my health! For someone who has never loved to exercise, this is one class I look forward to each week.
