Live Wedding Guest Portraits

Hand-drawn portraits created live at your wedding. An interactive experience and meaningful keepsake your guests will take home.

A Personalized Experience for Every Guest

Live wedding guest portraits are a unique way to elevate your celebration while giving your guests something truly special to take home. As your event unfolds, I create portraits in real time,
capturing each guest in a distinctive style.

Both an experience and a keepsake, guest portraits add a thoughtful,
interactive element your guests will remember long after the day is over.

I arrive at your venue and set up a dedicated space to begin painting guest portraits throughout your event. I will take reference photos of your guests, who can enjoy the celebration and come back to retrieve their finished portraits. Each portrait is completed in minutes depending on the selected style.

The process naturally draws people in, creating a memorable and engaging experience alongside your celebration.
