Feature : Image to Impact - stationery, design, photography

Hello! I'm Ashley Ruff. I graduated from Winthrop University with a fine arts degree in graphic design and also photography. I was fortunate enough to land a position as art director of our state magazine, then went on to become the art director of a local marketing firm. I absolutely love art and what I do. On the side, I own a business called Image to Impact, where I design custom and affordable wedding stationery, and photograph weddings and portraits. I love creating relationships and personalizing your special day with all the perfect details.

Here are a few examples of my work (using gatefold invitations from cutcardstock and a custom designed belly band.




Below is a fun spring wedding design printed on metallic paper with metallic envelopes.



Below is another bold statement with a perfect pocket and custom monogram seal.



Aside from wedding stationery design, I'm a firm believer in handwritten cards. I think there is always a reason to stay in touch with the people you love. Here are some custom card designs from my collections and a few other projects (such as wedding programs and shower invites.)
