And red hair changes at will. :)<br /><br />Jennifer, there's no shortage of rocks here so this was a perfect backdrop.<br /><br />They are great images Ronell. I think they were more trying to recreate a moment rather than enacting a tradition, but its commonplace now.<br /><br />Vivien, St. John's row houses are brightly coloured and known as 'Jelly Bean Row'.<br /><br />Thanks Stacy, seems the copyright now rests with my daughter and husband, so I think I'll be able to use a couple of images to draw from. <br /><br />Billie, yes, there is a direct Irish connection. Her father was Irish, from Cork. She has the classic Celtic colouring of pale skin, blue eyes and dark hair. The red is optional.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-15948454558240705792009-07-11T21:53:17.046-02:302009-07-11T21:53:17.046-02:30Your daughter is gorgeous, Jeanette!

She certainly does look like a mermaid in her gown, too.Billie Crainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11336330932102277633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-53961696832042520412009-07-11T18:19:11.240-02:302009-07-11T18:19:11.240-02:30Thanks everyone for your comments about the pictur...Thanks everyone for your comments about the pictures. Our big day turned out great as the photos show.<br /><br />Jennifer Rose, I'm glad you like that last photo. We were trying to duplicate an image from the opening credits of Codco, a well-known Newfoundland comedy show from the 80's and 90's. That was quite a steep hill!Sorchanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-62988866790389331962009-07-11T12:47:41.667-02:302009-07-11T12:47:41.667-02:30Jeanette, what beautiful photos and beautiful daug...Jeanette, what beautiful photos and beautiful daughters too! I love the first picture among the rocks with her dress swirled around her feet. You should ask the photographer for permission to use it for a drawing reference. The soft touch of your pencils would only make it more fabulous.<br /><br />Now we just need to see pictures of the pretty mother of the bride. :)Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02494806312648513169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-50529307918150680602009-07-11T11:10:16.285-02:302009-07-11T11:10:16.285-02:30she looks lovely and those will be very different ...she looks lovely and those will be very different photos to treasure<br /><br />the buildings painted like that look so Scandinavian :>)vivienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16820836660470146799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-43281537434142384942009-07-11T07:55:31.577-02:302009-07-11T07:55:31.577-02:30Beautiful Jeanette!!
