Silhouettes of the wedding couple also make fabulous wedding gifts

“There aren’t words to describe what a special addition Ruth was to our wedding celebration. She was the highlight of the wedding, and though we booked her for only three hours, demand for her silhouettes far exceeded anything we could have imagined. Ruth selflessly stayed til the very end of the wedding and made sure that every single guest received a silhouette. Not only did our guests love her and rave about the silhouettes, we now have a beautiful album of all of our guest’s silhouettes as a precious keepsake. Ruth is simply amazing and pure class, I can’t recommend her enough to any bride or anyone else planning a special event. Thank you so much Ruth.”
