Wordmark treatments
The benchmark from high-end wedding photographers (Jose Villa, Elizabeth Messina, the luxury tier) is clear: no icon, no emblem — just the name, beautifully set in a refined serif, like a fashion-house masthead. The photography is the brand; the wordmark just signs it.
These are rendered as live, scalable web type (Cormorant Garamond) — not images — so they stay crisp at any size. Tell me which direction feels right and I'll refine it into the nav and footer.
Spaced Caps
Fashion-house masthead. Full name, wide letter-spacing, light weight. The benchmark move — Jose Villa, Elizabeth Messina territory.
Stacked Italic
Three lines, centred. 'Wedding' set in italic as the emotional centre — editorial and intimate.
Monogram + Descriptor
NWP as the hero mark, with the full name beneath in tiny spaced caps. Compact and confident — works small in a nav bar.
Spaced Italic
Directly inspired by Elizabeth Messina — the full name in italic Cormorant with generous letter-spacing. Quiet, artist-like, personal.
Diamond Dot
Your current NWP, refined — the dot becomes a small diamond accent, with the full name beneath. The lightest possible evolution of what you have.
Rule Split
A thin horizon rule between the place and the craft — echoes the coastline and the editorial horizon lines used across the site.
Interlaced · Place
Lindsay Adler treatment — 'NEWCASTLE' and 'WEDDING' in a high-contrast Didone (Bodoni Moda). The two E's are italic and offset so their slants form a single diagonal line; letterforms stretched taller without widening; 'PHOTOGRAPHER' larger and centred beneath.
NWP · Bodoni Moda
The floating-nav monogram, reset in Bodoni Moda (Didone, high-contrast). Letterforms stretched ~12% taller without widening; the full-stop accent stays in muted gold. This is the proposed replacement for the current Cormorant NWP in the pill nav.
Interlaced · Name
The true Lindsay Adler format — your first and last name interlocked in a Didone (Bodoni Moda), ADAMS's A rising through JOHN's N, with 'PHOTOGRAPHY' beneath.
