A couple's crystal is one of the most popular gifts. Two faces, a name line and a date are all it takes.
The photo
- Both faces in focus and close together. Faces a little apart work too; the site evens out their brightness so neither looks darker.
- Soft light: harsh sun leaves white patches on skin. Sunglasses are calmed automatically, but clear eyes look best.
- Full-length wedding photos work on a standing block; head-and-shoulders photos show the faces bigger.
Lettering
Start from the Wedding occasion (it suits anniversaries too): it sets two lines in a formal script and a heart outline. Put the names on the first line and the date on the second; switch to the Full frame outline if you want the whole photo.
The crystal
- Portrait Block (50 × 50 × 80 mm), standing, for the most height.
- Premium quality for the smoothest faces.
- On an LED base, photograph it in a dark room at eye level.
