I’m so proud to say that my parents will be celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary in May. They are organising a party to mark the occasion and inviting lots of old friends and family members to share the celebration. I have been designing the invitation to the party, and one of the things I had to do was to scan and retouch a beautiful old photo from their wedding day. Here are my happy parents – after retouching:
Here you can see the faded and scratched photo, before retouching. I also had to remove the other people from the shot, including a friend of theirs whose face is visible behind and through the veil. My dad was an officer in the Army so he was married in his dress uniform.
Here is the photo on the front cover of the invitation I designed for them:
As part of the invitation for the party, they also wanted me to scan the original wedding invitation. It was faded and marked as well. Again, I put Photoshop and my retouching skills to work to bring it back to it’s former glory:
Here is the original scan:
It was such fun working on these, especially on the photo. It is so beautiful to see their faces just lit up with excitement and happiness… so young and just beginning their life together. It was a different time and it seems so romantic. So happy to say that they are still as happy 50 years later!
If you have any old family photos that need a lift, get in touch for a quotation – bring your treasured mementos and memories back to life.
