“Hi Brendan. I was looking to get another canvas done. The wedding was actually at the weekend so I have attached the pics below. Philip the groom is big into Golf and is VP of Youghal Golf Club. Martina bakes fantastic novelty cakes so not sure what u might get out of that. Was thinking maybe having them with the golf club or nice sea view in background, maybe a set of golf clubs?”
[We decided to have the clubhouse as the background and the bride holding up the wedding cake. I always suggest including the wedding cake when there is a photo of it to work from]
"Class. Love it" - Michelle
“I am looking for a wedding gift for my friend's wedding and I stumbled upon your website! I think your work would make a fantastic gift for them.
I'm just wondering which are the most popular wedding gifts, prints or canvas? And what sizes you do? I would like to get them something meaningful that will last. I don't really have any ideas of what to include. The couple getting married are both in their 20's, she is Brazilian and he is Irish. They both work as trainee engineers and met when he went to Brazil to work with the charity Habitat. She was working with them too. I’m not very artistic myself so I really don't know what else to include!
Wedding Venue ; Kinnity Castle, Birr, Co. Offaly. Wedding Date ; Friday 8th May 2015.
I look forward to hearing any ideas you can offer!”
“I received the print yesterday! It's absolutely gorgeous! Very very happy with it! Thanks so much again for all your hard work! I really appreciate it! I'm sure I will be in contact again in future with further requests! And will definitely recommend you to others!
Thanks a mill!” - Melissa

“Thanks so much for your quick response. I would like to go with the A3 picture please. Since emailing you my brother has accepted a new job. He's going back to the carpentry side of things kitting out ships/boats. So I'm thinking now him in his suit (grey) with a saw and maybe wood shavings flying and Sarah in her wedding dress looking at her watch reading 1.45pm. In the background would you be able to either do a church, or their reception is in Bellingham Castle?”
“Hi Brendan. Was supposed 2 send this email all week to say a huge thank you for the picture. It is stunning. Got it framed yesterday can’t wait 2 give it to shane and Sarah. Continued success in the future” - Valerie
"The first is Dave who is a member of the Garda Siochana so we were thinking something along keystone cops maybe? He's big into his rallying also....
The second one is Martin (who is an Architect . He is a formula one and Lego fanatic......
The third one is Dessie (bearded one) who is the Best Man. Dessie is a farmer, a butcher and a fisherman
Last but not least is the Groom Eamonn (glasses). He ain't got a clue I'm getting him done also 😆
He is a mechanic and a fisherman, into rallying and archery
I don't know if you can use their descriptions in any way so I'll leave it in your capable hands. ...."
Hi Brendan,
Just to let you know your caricatures for the groomsmen went down a storm. Every one of the boys were so impressed with the attention to detail that went into each one and I really should have videoed their reactions....They were priceless 😆.
I hope you dont mind but I have passed your details on.
Like I said before I will be back and wish you the very best with your business going forward.
You were a pleasure to deal with.
Regards
Annemarie & Eamonn 😆
“A friend of mine commissioned you to do a caricature picture for her friend's wedding and it was super. My cousin is getting married on Friday 12th August and I would email you a photo of the couple then, ie in the actual suit and wedding dress. I'd have to think about the background, but maybe the church? The church is called St. Coleman's, Ballintotis in Co. Cork”
“Thanks a lot, Brendan. They are thrilled with the picture! They are using it on thank you cards to send to all the guests!” - Catherine
