What’s the most important thing about your wedding day? Which moments or details will be something you remember forever and which will fade into the mists of time?
Traditionally marked with a gift made from paper, it may not surprise you to hear that a lot of my commissions are for first anniversary presents. I’m always fascinated to hear the story of a couple’s big day and the memories which stand out for them. A recent commission based on a wedding photo got me thinking about whether it’s the little details or the big picture that matter most…
Scrolling through a CD full of wedding photos, I wasn’t entirely sure what I was looking for. I had been asked to create a wedding anniversary papercut based on a wedding photo but the customer had left the choice of image up to me. One photograph stood out. It seemed to tell the whole story…
First Dance Papercut by Rosie and the Boys
The row of tiny buttons on the bride’s dress and the supportive hand of the groom.
The wedding dress had a beautiful ruffled skirt.
I tried hard to capture the detail and texture of the bride’s hairstyle.
All those little details will be wonderful reminders of a magical day which happened because this couple only have eyes for each other.
