Watercolor Guest Portraits Being Painted Live at Wedding

Most weddings book me for 4-5 hours depending on the timing and number of guests.

Portraits with 2-4 people generally take about 7-9 minutes for me to complete.

Let’s schedule a complimentary call to discuss your wedding. We can create a custom package that includes enough time to create portraits of the guests who want to participate. At most weddings, about 75% of guests decide to take part.

Live guest portraits are perfect for everything from a small intimate wedding to a packed reception hall.

I am located in Wilmington, NC but am happy to travel to you!
