Changes

Summary of design changes applied during this iteration session.

Hero

• Photo swapped to we_r_pretty.jpg (sunset/formal portrait, both faces, Montreal skyline).
• .below section deleted (“I · A Note From Us” pull-quote, body copy, supporting figure) — the page is now hero → Section II → footer.
• Photo grading retuned for the new photo: brightness(0.55) contrast(1.08) saturate(0.92) sepia(0.05) hue-rotate(0deg). Less sepia, no hue-rotate — golden hour photo is already warm.
• Hero focal point: center 18% to anchor faces.
• .hero-photo bottom buffer expands dynamically via var(--hero-photo-bottom, -50vh) so the parallax can’t expose the dark hero base.
• .hero-overlay gains an oxblood-tinted top dome over the base linear darkening.
• Film grain layer over the hero via .hero::before.

Mobile

• Mobile media query (≤720px) locks the photo to background-size: 115%, background-position: 74% 20% — keeps both faces in frame on portrait viewports.
• Mobile parallax reduced to 0.10 (vs 0.35 on desktop) via window.matchMedia in main.js so the photo doesn’t scroll its way out of frame.
• Hero names stack as Amanda / & / Francis centered, with the ampersand glyph translated to land on the optical midline.

Palette (Crew Collective vault tones)

• Replaced raspberry-pink --gilt (#8B2B3A) with burnished brass (#B5894A).
• Warmed surfaces: --base #15110D, --inset #23170F, --deep #0A0705.
• Travertine-cream type tier (--ink #F1E6CC, --ink-whisper #C8B596, --ink-muted #998260).
• New oxblood tokens: --oxblood, --oxblood-deep, --oxblood-light, --oxblood-glow.
• ::selection swapped from brass to oxblood — the only place wedding-red surfaces by default.

Masthead

• Title size bumped to 1.875rem (was 1.5rem), scrolled state shrinks back to 1.5rem.
• Tagline removed from masthead chrome; new wedding.masthead_sub config key (defaults hidden).
• Optional .masthead__mark decorative-rule system under the A&F monogram (hairline / double / bracket / fleuron — disabled by default).

Section II — “The Day”

• New fact grid (When / Where / Address), parallel small-caps labels, brass dividers.
• Detail rows mirror each primary as a temporal/geographic zoom-out:
  • When: “Saturday, August 7” → “Two Thousand Twenty-Seven”
  • Where: “Crew Collective” → “Est. 1928”
  • Address: “360 Rue Saint-Jacques” → “Old Montréal · Québec”

Footer

• Replaced the bare two-line footer with a back-of-invitation signature: brass rule + italic married.af wordmark + venue address + contact + tiny copyright.

Typography modes

• New body classes italic-mode-italic (default no-op), italic-mode-roman, italic-mode-caps for future typography iterations without code changes.

JS

• assets/js/main.js: parallax factor is now mutable via window.__heroParallaxFactor (with getFactor() defaulting to 0.10 mobile / 0.35 desktop) and exposes window.__heroParallaxUpdate for live nudging.

Dates

• Site-wide 2026 → 2027 sweep.
• New wedding.date_year config key for inline composition.

Files touched

• _config.yml
• _includes/footer.html (rewrite)
• _includes/masthead.html
• _sass/_base.scss (selection color)
• _sass/_components.scss (masthead, names mobile, footer, Section II, hero-stamp, italic modes)
• _sass/_layouts.scss (hero-photo, hero-overlay, film grain, mobile reframing)
• _sass/_tokens.scss (palette, photo filter)
• assets/js/main.js (parallax mutability + viewport-conditional factor)
• index.md (Section II, names spans, footer copy, deleted .below section)
