The Art of Watercolor

Watercolor painting is a beautiful and versatile medium that allows for soft, ethereal tones and delicate details. And most importantly, it dries in minutes, making it the perfect medium to send your guests home with personalized wedding favors created at your event. 

The Guest Portrait Experience

Our guest portrait sessions were a fun and interactive experience for guests of all ages. We set up a cozy corner at the reception where couples could take a quick photo and have their likeness painted. As I worked, I chatted with guests about the wedding, their relationship with the couple, and any special memories they wanted to share. I heard so many sweet sentiments and was fighting back tears during speeches that shared just how loved this couple is. Guests were thrilled to receive their portraits as treasured mementos of their relationship with Leigh and Corey.

The Venue

Bakery 105 provided a historical and charming backdrop for the guest portraits. The venue's historic setting, vintage lighting, and exposed brick created a warm and inviting atmosphere. The combination of the beautiful setting and the personalized artwork made for a truly memorable experience.
