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.
Greg & Angela - USA

Shawn commissioned me to draw a portrait of his best friend's wedding in the States.
He was so pleased with the end result that he contacted me again a few months later to ask for a portrait of his brother's wedding as well.

Alan & Anne - Thailand

Alan had intended to give this portrait as a gift to his mother-in-law on his anniversary to thank her for their wedding.
He ended up keeping it and giving it to Anne instead!

Devinder & Shashi, UK

Vikas and his wife commissioned this portrait as a thank you to his parents for having put so much effort into making their wedding day special.

Dear Basi,
Just to let you know, my wife and I gave the portrait to my parents last weekend - they really loved it. Thank you once again.
Hope all is well.
Kind regards,
Vikas
