the destination weddings

Doing wedding-themed portraits is no news anymore for me, but along the way, they grew bigger and bigger. It seems they became great gifts to give to a newlywed couple or make great backdrops for wedding invitations. Whatever the purpose, I get to illustrate their stories. And I just like the fact that each time, somehow, everything is different. And even though it's time-consuming, I love painting the details on each and every dress and the backgrounds can become very intricate as well. Here are two such illustrations, with similar concepts, with travelling souls who found each other, from the aurora filled skies in Iceland to the spicy lands of India, to landmarks from each continent.
