he 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.

Photo of Alan and Anne which was used for the anniversary portrait
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!
