A few years ago my brother was getting married and I couldn’t attend the wedding as I live on the other side of the planet. I decided to make something for him that was rather unique and never thought of before. I realised that most people don’t celebrate what it is to document their lives together and so I created this wedding anniversary photo album called Milestones of Love.

For every year the couple are married they take a photo on their anniversary and place it in the album. I believe it to be one of the most romantic gifts you could give a couple on their special day. It’s a lovely way of seeing how your lives grow together and reminds you of all that is good between you.

For each anniversary there is an illustration and a small poetic message on each page. The book is a 12 x 12 inch format, the perfect size for any photo. I chose Blurb to publish each one as the quality of their books is wonderful.

Since making this book I have gifted it to several people on their special day.

You too can buy this book if you want to gift something from the heart to a special couple.

I also used all the illustrations to make great anniversary cards available at my Zazzle-Jupigio store. You can find out more at my Jupigio-artwork website.

I have included a few photos here of a handful of the pages in the book. Each illustration shows the relevant flower and gem stone associated with that anniversary.

The Painting here was also created for my brother and his wife, it was the original cover to the book. It is called the Wedding anniversary tree and in each branch or root is an anniversary. Needless to say my brother loved his gift and thought the book was absolutely fabulous.
