Guest Portraits
— Watercolor Keepsakes for Your Guests
Celebrate your guests with custom watercolor portraits , each one hand-painted on-site to capture their unique style on your special day.
​
After the ceremony, I’ll set up in a designated area and begin painting full-body portraits without facial features, highlighting the outfits your guests thoughtfully chose. Each painting includes a simple background and is completed in about 6 minutes on 4×6" archival paper.
​
Guests receive a numbered ticket and may return at any time to chat, watch the process, and collect their finished portrait. Each one comes with a complimentary paper frame, ready to take home as a keepsake of the day.
Individual, couple, family, or even pet portraits are welcome. Please calculate the time needed based on the number of guests you’d like to include ( I typically paint 6–10 portraits per hour.)
​
Let your guests leave not only with memories, but with a one-of-a-kind portrait to remember how stunning they looked.
Each painting is created with great care and craftsmanship — from the first sketch on-site to the final brushstroke in my studio. Below are the available sizes, what’s included, and starting rates.

Additional Notes
-
Booking Early is Recommended: I only accept up to 2 weddings per month to ensure each piece receives full attention. Dates fill quickly, especially during peak seasons.
-
Travel Fees: Travel and lodging costs are not included and will be quoted separately based on your event location.
-
Framing & Shipping: All wedding paintings come professionally framed and are shipped via tracked and insured carrier.
-
Guest Portraits: I can typically draw 6–10 guests per hour, depending on style and detail. Please estimate the number of hours needed accordingly — time cannot be extended on the day of the event unless arranged in advance.
-
Outfits Matter: For guest portraits, stylish or meaningful outfits are encouraged! They add charm and personality to each sketch.
-
Combo Timing: When both services are booked, guest portraits take priority after the ceremony. The wedding painting may not be finished on-site but will be completed in my studio.
-
Studio Time: Wedding paintings require 40–80+ hours of studio refinement after the event. This is where the magic truly happens , transforming a live sketch into a finished heirloom.
-
Optional Video Feature: With your permission, I can document the day from my perspective , including guest reactions and behind-the-scenes painting clips. These may be shared online as part of my creative storytelling work.
