Somos Paper by Maggie Goldhammer is an offshoot of her incredible branding design business Somos Studios. Maggie is incredibly detail-focused and creates absolutely stunning, thoughtful designs and high-quality paper goods for weddings and more.

Ephemera is a paper and design shop in downtown Des Moines specializing in wedding invitations by appointment, custom printing, and curated paper goods. Their traditional process and careful approach make them a trusted choice for couples who want timeless stationery.

Gates Paper Co. creates some of the coolest, most artful invitation suites I’ve ever seen. Their work feels bold, modern, and completely unique to each couple — nothing cookie-cutter or cut-and-paste. I haven’t worked with them yet, but their luxurious designs are stunning and I would love to photograph their work at a wedding.
