Elevate your wedding or event with live watercolor guest portraits painted on-site. Guests are briefly photographed and their likeness is turned into a hand-painted keepsake they can take home and treasure for years to come.

I am available for events within one hour of the Chicago area. If your event is outside of Chicagoland, feel free to reach out to discuss availability. Travel fees may apply.

HOW IT WORKS:

Portraits are painted live during your event using watercolor and ink.

• Book 2–6 hours of painting time (2-hour minimum)
• Each portrait takes approximately 6–10 minutes
• I complete up to 8 portraits per hour

Guests stop by the painting table and have a quick reference photo taken. I work through the portraits in the order photos are taken (first come, first served) while guests return to enjoy the event.

Completed portraits are packaged in protective sleeves and displayed for guests to pick up and take home.

For example, a 4-hour booking typically results in about 24–30 portraits completed during the event.

Some packages may include a limited number of additional portraits completed in my studio and mailed after the event.

Weddings:

For weddings, I typically begin during cocktail hour or early in the reception. Guests can stop by the table to have their photo taken, and their portraits are painted throughout the evening. I arrive early to set up and provide my own table with a black or white linen (unless the venue provides one). My table includes a small sign explaining the process, so guests know how to participate.

Most weddings book 4–5 hours of live guest portrait painting for the full guest experience.

Please note that it is unlikely every guest will receive a portrait, as paintings are completed throughout the evening while time allows.
