Over the last few years, some of my closest friends have gotten married...
I thought that a special gift might be to do a sketch of the location where they had their ceremony or reception...

Here a couple of examples...

Colleen & Johnny, The Crystal Palace, Picton Ontario, 2002

Tahrana & Kevin, The Gazebo on Parliament Hill, Ottawa Ontario, 2001

Sorry for the poor photo and funky scan.... i hope you get the idea...

And I'll keep adding as my buddies get hitched! :D

    Thats a neat idea to do the sketches from were your friends got hitched.
    And that they're personalized and can't be bought at a store is even more special and meaningful. Those are some very good sketches by the way. Nice Job
    I'm wondering, about wondering...

    As some of you may know, I just got back from Hungary, where I was a bridesmaid in my friend Amy's wedding... :D so, in the usual fashion, here's the sketch that I did for them:

    Amy & Andris, Pannonia Golf Club, Budapest, Hungary, July 8, 2006.
