Live Guest Portraits

---

Instead of one large canvas of the ceremony, I bring the art to your guests. I paint quick, stylish, portraits of your loved ones in real-time. It’s a captivating live performance that doubles as a deeply personal keepsake. Guests love watching their likeness come to life on paper, and there is nothing quite like the 'gallery wall' moment—seeing the collection of portraits grow throughout the night before each guest claims their one-of-a-kind masterpiece to take home.

This is how I make my guest portrait experience seamless, elegant, and interactive:

I arrive at your venue and set up a small, elegant workstation that complements your decor. My presence adds a touch of live artistry to the atmosphere without being intrusive.

Your guests don't have to wait in a long line or miss any time on the dance floor! They simply snap a selfie and text it directly to me. This allows them to enjoy the party while I get to work. They also tend to have fun taking pictures of eachother instead of selfies. 

As the night progresses, I render each guest’s likeness with style and personality. Each finished painting is placed on a "Live Gallery" display—a favorite gathering spot where everyone can admire the collection as it grows.

When guests are ready to head home, they stop by the gallery to claim their "mini-masterpiece." Every portrait is neatly packaged in a protective sleeve to ensure it stays safe and pristine on the journey home.

If your guest list is large and I can't finish every portrait during the event, don’t worry! Any remaining paintings will be completed in my studio and mailed directly to your guests so that no one misses out on the magic.

The Best of Both Worlds: The Luxury Experience, also known as the Live Combo

Can’t decide between a live painting of your ceremony and portraits for your guests? 

You don't have to. As a solo artist, I offer a unique "Combo Pack" designed for the couple who wants it all. This is a high-energy, multi-layered experience that works like this:

1. Capturing the Scene: I begin the night by live-painting your chosen "big moment" on-site to capture the authentic energy of the room.
2. A Guest-Signed Heirloom: During the transition, I invite guests to sign the back of your canvas, turning your art into a guestbook of well-wishes.
3. Live Guest Illustrations: I then pivot to my portrait station, painting your guests from their texted selfies throughout the reception.
4. Studio Finish: Your main wedding painting is then brought back to my studio, where I spend dedicated time perfecting every detail before delivering it to your door.

It’s an epic undertaking, but I pride myself on the speed and character I bring to every brushstroke. It’s a "WOW" factor your guests won't forget!
