Phil and Julie's Ruby Wedding Picture
Phil and Julie live in New Zealand. Their daughter, Hannah, who lives in the UK, came to see me to discuss the picture. She brought a huge pile of photos of the family, all the pets they've ever had, their house and surrounding countryside.
The house has a long driveway and large garden, which they have both created, so we decided that would be the perfect setting for their names. Hannah wanted the background to be the New Zealand scenery where they live.
There are little personal jokes, such as the dog in the foreground, who was always running off, so Hannah asked if I could put an extra long lead on her. I made it into the "and". Phil likes skiing and playing the piano, so I used those for the "P" and "H". Julie loves gardening, so most of the letters in her name have that theme.
They both cycle, and love travelling. They are members of the Caravan Club, so the flag appears at the top, with those of the other countries they have visited. Also on the signpost are places of importance to them. They went to Buckingham Palace to a Garden Party! The coat of arms is Leeds Met University, where they both had connections. Their other daughter is also in the picture.
Kevan's 60th Birthday Picture
Nana Wendy's Picture
Ten years after Kevan's 60th Birthday picture, the family came back for his wife Wendy's 65th Birthday painting. There are now grandchildren, which weren't in Kevan's picture!
Jenny and Marcel's Wedding Picture
For baby and children's pictures, details such as:
