Live watercolor guest portraits painted during your wedding, so your guests leave with a keepsake, not just a favor.

Live wedding guest portraiture is a unique blend of entertainment and art. During your reception or cocktail hour, I create hand painted watercolor portraits of your guests on-site, capturing them in an fun and fashionable style that they can take home the same night.

I arrive 30–45 minutes before the reception begins (earlier if requested) to set up my painting station and prepare materials.

Guests are invited to stop by the artist table at their convenience. A quick reference photo is taken on an iPad, so guests can immediately return to enjoying the celebration or stay and watch.

Portraits are completed on a rolling basis throughout the reception during your booked painting time. This process minimizes wait times and allows as many guests as possible to participate.

Finished portraits are available for guest pickup later in the evening or by the end of the reception, depending on guest volume and timing.

  • Solo, one couple, or up to four guests per painting

  • Approximately 8–10 portraits per hour (portraits including multiple people)

  • One 12” × 18” watercolor portrait of the couple

    • Completed after the wedding to allow maximum time with guests

    • Finished piece is mailed to you

Paintings are created in a loose, expressive watercolor style. Variations in likeness are a natural part of the live art process.

This service is ideal for intimate to mid-size weddings. For larger celebrations, couples typically select a set number of hours, with guest participation offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

  • Portraits are completed during the booked painting time only

  • Completion of portraits for all guests is not guaranteed

  • Group portraits (couples, families, friends) help maximize coverage

If desired, additional guest portraits may be completed after the wedding for $15 per portrait and shipped directly to the couple, when arranged in advance.

Live wedding guest portrait services are $200 per hour, with a 2-hour minimum.
