The art of wedding portraits
Anita Faulkner was always going to be an artist. Her earliest memories involve lying on her parents’ bed as a four-year-old and drawing intricate circular patterns all over her mother’s cardboard bill box. “I’d be yelled at every day because I’d draw on anything that was blank; walls, books, even, tables,” says Anita, who remembers…

I was so wrapped with our groomsmens suits. They are exactly how I had imagined, the perfect colour. We ended up having to get them made to measure as it was becoming impossible to find a taupe/beige/nude suit that fit all of the groomsmen, as we are having 6 of them. We have all shapes…
