A Particularly Well-organised Wedding
Everything ran like clockwork for this Berkshire wedding. The whole event was beautifully organised and relaxed.
What rain?!
The weather must have been given the itinerary because, despite raining in stair rods throughout the wedding ceremony, the sun appeared on cue as the guests poured out into the grounds to mingle for drinks.

Who’s Who?
What a good idea! For spotting the key people to include in the painting, having a list, complete with photographs, was indispensable and made my job so much easier.
Working from a handy check list. It's showing me the key people at the wedding party.
A further good idea was the inclusion of a hidden wedding date in the watercolour. This was a family tradition that I feel sure I will want to employ often in future.
