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.

When Mick commissioned his portrait, he asked me to include a romantic verse:
I love thee, I love but thee
With a love that shall not die
Till the sun grows cold,
And the stars grow old.......
He presented it to his wife during their anniversary meal at Michel Roux's restaurant in Bray.

Hello Basi,
I received the portrait on Friday and have been away for the weekend, so I apologise for not letting you know sooner.I opened the packaging with great anticipation and was overwhelmed when I saw your work; you are truly a very talented person.. It gave me goose bumps and nearly made me cry !!!
I have since had it framed and it looks breathtaking.
Thank you VERY MUCH.. I will let you know how it goes when I present it to Fiona
Kind regards and all the best for the future.

Dear Basi,
A million thanks for the beautiful portrait of me + my husband Rohan. We can't wait to adorn our house with such a unique work of art. I think Rohan was so stunned when he saw it he was lost for words. But he treats it like it's the most precious thing ever! It is - it's so special. Thanks for making our 1st wedding anniversary so memorable.
Best wishes
Neeta & Rohan

Not a paper anniversary, but a wedding anniversary present none the less.
Andi contacted me to commission a portrait of his parent's wedding - they look so young!
