live wedding guest portraits
a unique & personal wedding favour
Guest portraits offer a fun experience and a sweet favour for guests to remember your beautiful wedding day by. My fashion illustration-inspired wedding guest portraits are painted live during the reception to quickly capture the fashion, hairstyles, and energy of your wedding guests.
how it works
If guests are interested in taking home their own painting, they can stop by my table to have a reference photo taken. Each guest painting takes about 6 minutes to complete (12 minutes for couple paintings). Many guests will get to take their portrait home with them at the end of the night!

Complete the guest portrait booking form below to confirm if your date is available. A non-refundable deposit of $600 and a signed contract is required to secure your date. The deposit will be applied towards the total cost, which will be due 1 week prior to your wedding date.

I bring all of my own materials, including lighting, signage, shelves to display portraits, and a white or black tablecloth. I only require a 6' table and chair to be provided at the venue, as well as a nearby outlet and a water source.

Nope! When guests stop by my table, I'll take a photo of them to use as a reference for their portrait. They're free to rejoin the festivities, or stay nearby to watch the painting process.

I can move to a different location once during the night, as long as a 6' table and chair are provided in both locations.

5"x7" watercolour paper
Alcohol-based fineliner (for the initial sketch)

Many of your guests will! I can paint at your event for up to 5 hours, and complete up to 50 individual portraits (or 25 couple portraits) during this time. If you want to make sure all of your guests are painted, I will take photos of the remaining guests and complete the portraits in my studio at an hourly rate.

Portraits completed after the event will be shipped to the newlyweds within 3 weeks of the wedding to distribute to their guests. Shipping fees are not included.
