Live guest portraits are a unique and unforgettable way to elevate your wedding experience, providing your guests with a personalized keepsake they’ll treasure forever. If you’re considering adding live watercolor portraits to your wedding, here’s an overview of what to expect from the process, ensuring your special day flows seamlessly.
How It Works on the Wedding Day
-
Guests Visit My Table
Guests are invited to visit my table to learn about the process and decide if they want me to paint a portrait of them. -
Quick Photo Session
Once guests arrive at my table, I’ll take a quick photo of them—usually two guests per portrait. This allows them to return to the party while I paint their portrait. No long waits or standing around! -
Creating the Portrait
Each portrait takes about 7-10 minutes to complete. I carefully craft each one in my signature style, ensuring every piece reflects the unique personality of the individuals. -
Portrait Pickup
When the painting is finished, I place it in a protective sleeve and display it at the end of my table for guests to pick up at their convenience. This setup lets everyone enjoy the party while still receiving their one-of-a-kind artwork.
Completing Unfinished Portraits
Weddings can be lively and fast-paced, and sometimes there’s not enough time to finish all the portraits during the event. Any portraits that remain unfinished by the end of the night will be completed in my studio after the wedding. I take great care to ensure these portraits are just as detailed and beautiful as the ones painted on-site.
Post-Wedding Delivery
Within 3-4 weeks after your wedding, I’ll mail the remaining portraits to you, packaged with care. These portraits make a wonderful addition to your thank-you cards, offering your guests a delightful surprise when they open their envelope. To make the process even easier, I include 5x7 envelopes in case your thank-you cards are smaller than the portraits.
Why Choose Live Guest Portraits?
Live guest portraits add an interactive and artistic element to your wedding, creating a memorable experience for your guests. Not only do they serve as entertainment, but they also provide a tangible memento of your big day. What better way to thank your guests than give them a custom piece of art!
