Deckle

Deckle is built like a keepsake. Sections sit on sheets of warm paper whose edges are torn rather than cut, photographs arrive framed as instant prints with a strip of tape, and headlines are set in an italic serif that reads like a handwritten note. It suits businesses whose work is personal and made by hand, where visitors should feel they are being shown something rather than sold to.

Can I turn off the torn edges?

They appear only on painted sections. Keep a section on the default paper palette and it sits flat on the page.

Do my photos need a particular shape?

No. The frame adapts to landscape, portrait and square images, and your focal point still decides the crop.

Which palette does Deckle start with?

Deckle begins with Olive Press. You can switch to Blush Post, Kraft Mail, Seaside Blue or Darkroom at any time.

We are a married pair of photographers who work every wedding together, one of us with the couple and one with everyone who loves them.

We shoot quietly and mostly unposed, with a roll of medium format film for the portraits. Every gallery arrives within five weeks, and every couple leaves with a printed album.

How it started
We imagined Hollis & Vale as a place to do good work and make people feel welcome.
A place to belong
Today we keep that same care in every conversation, every visit, and every detail.
