What Are Live Guest Portraits?
Live Guest Portraits—sometimes called fashion sketches—are a form of live portrait entertainment in which a skilled wedding artist or event illustrator creates quick, personalized artworks of your guests on-site. In just a few minutes, I transform candid poses or reference photos into elegant watercolor or ink guest portraits, blending the charm of wedding art, the detail of a wedding painting, and the spontaneity of an event drawing. Each guest portrait doubles as both wedding favor and interactive décor, elevating your celebration with memorable event portraits that guests can treasure long after the last dance.
