Raul and Maria Helena's Engagement Caricature






















I had to share this story of writer/composer Raul Garcia's engagement gift with his new fiance, Maria Helena. It's best if I just let him tell it:

"The 22nd of February, the day of the engagement, was incredible. All went as planned, the restaurant looked great, empty reserved just for the two of us (friends arrived later). The seafood paella was delicious and the Dom Perignon 1990 (sorry but I just have to rub it in) was... I have no words, it tasted too good.

I had the HD Caricature printed at a specialty shop from the National Geoph, and it looked and still looks amazing. Maria Helena loved it. When the waiter brought the picture she was stunned and wouldn't stop smiling. The music I composed/arranged/designated set the mood smoothly. Once she realized the music was "for her" I pulled the CD from my coat and it was all tears from then on.

All the little but perfectly crafted details made this evening unforgetable and I must thank you for doing such a great job, gracias maestro."
