Examples of First Anniversary Portraits
the perfect gift
A pencil portrait makes a very special 1st anniversary gift. I can draw it from any good clear photograph - either taken on the day of the wedding or, perhaps, on the honeymoon.
In fact, any favourite photograph of the couple can make a beautiful portrait.
Although, being paper, it makes an ideal first anniversary gift, it can also be an ideal thank-you gift for the bride or groom's parents.

Dear Basi
Thank you so much for the beautiful pencil portrait. I received it this morning and it is absolutely beautiful. I am really happy with it. I cannot wait to have it framed and present it to my husband. I am sure he will love it as much as I do.
You are a very talented and gifted person.
Best wishes

Once again thank you very much for sharing with us your gifted talent as an artist.

Getting Tristan's portrait to him in time was a bit of a challenge. Not only was he caught in the 2007 floods but his anniversary also co-incided with a postal strike...

Hi Basi,
Yes all is back to normal here. Water back on and drinkable and the portrait arrived on the Saturday, so wasn't effected by the strike.
And the good news is that we're both really pleased with it. Shall certainly be recommending you to friends and family.
All the best,
Tristan
