SILVER: Moments Into Memories is a 25-year retrospective of wedding photographer Genevieve de Manio. Divided into three sections based on a narrative approach developed in collaboration with the author, as she views these three themes as a reflection of her approach and career.

The images of the first section, Stillness, capture moments that are not often top-of-mind when one thinks about a wedding, yet a photograph of them prompts a nuanced memory of the day. Connection is everywhere one turns on a wedding day. In the images in this section, a connection might be represented by a look, a touch, a shared moment. Energy: these images capture the spirit and style of people in motion, and they are almost all candid.

The exquisite design and materials selected for the production of SILVER are a tactile honoring of the extraordinary moment that is the wedding day. The book’s size offers a generous canvas for Gigi’s portfolio. The expert typesetting is enhanced by metallic silver spot ink used with a restrained sophistication.

The text pages are hardbound and section sewn into a french blue head and tail band. The case is enveloped by light gray linen textile and silver metallic ink endpaper with silver foil stamping on the face and spine. Wrapping the bottom of the case is a short jacket featuring a full bleed photo. Printed with silver and black ink on vellum, the effect is ethereal and akin to the book’s wedding veil.
