Artsy Wedding Memory Box

When the couple you photograph loves their animals like the family members they are...well, you include those animals in a family portrait! When I saw their drink menu at their wedding, a little idea started to form...

So, I grabbed a box and set to work. Instead of stain, I used watered down acrylic paint to give the wood a richer tone.

Then gold leaf to make their portrait pop!

I sketched their outlines and started to paint.

I LOVED their wedding invitations, so I used the greenery as inspiration for the box:

And voila!
