LIVE GUEST PORTRAITS
In watercolor
Things we never get tired of hearing...
"Everyone keeps raving about their portraits!"
"You are everyone's favorite thing here tonight!"
"You guys are so talented!"
"This is such a cool idea!"
"How do you do it so quickly?!"
"You made me look skinny! Thank you!"
"Pleeeeeeeease do us!!! I know you're done for the night but PLEEEEEEEEEEEASE!!!"
Nobody doesn't love these watercolor portraits! We've never done a wedding where guests weren't absolutely thrilled to have these hand-painted memories to take home. Each portrait is a forever reminder of the fun they had at your wedding. It's very common for guests to and frame them and/or post them on social media.
Over the years we've changed how we do things to maximize the enjoyment of the guests and to streamline our efficiency so we can get to as many guests as possible in the time allowed. There is no standing in line or posing for long periods of time. We simply snap a quick picture, record the number and their name, and then create the portrait from the photo. Guests come back later to pick them up. Everyone loves this system!
Each portrait is on 6x8 cold pressed, acid free watercolor paper with professional grade pen and paints. In other words, they are of the highest quality possible.
Not to brag, but...
There are other artists out there offering guest portraits. We think we are the best choice, and here are a few reasons why:
-
We take photos of the guests and paint from them, freeing them up to go have fun while we work.
-
We use the best quality paper, pens, and paints you can find. It matters. Our lines are clear and our colors are vibrant.
-
We keep a spreadsheet of every portrait with the guest's name. We can tell a guest exactly when their portrait will be ready, and we write their name on the back.
-
Because we've been doing this for so many years, we are fast. Drawing and painting a guest takes exactly four minutes from start to finish.
-
Mark does the drawing and I do the painting, because these are our strongest gifts. We think the result is a very good portrait.
-
We've done about 200 weddings and events, some in faraway places, and have never once been late or missed our goals. We are extremely appreciative to be there and conscientious with time.
-
Because you are paying us by the hour, we work hard and don't take long breaks. We want to paint as many guests as possible in the time we are given!
-
Mark wears a tie with a famous painting on it!
