Live Event Illustration FAQs

Where are live illustrations available?

We are based in Washington, DC but love packing up our paintbrushes to travel worldwide.

What types of portraits do you create?

Live Portraits: These quick sketches (5-7 minutes) capture your guests' likenesses in a fun and whimsical style.

How many guests can you illustrate per hour?

Approximately 8-12 guests per hour. All of our packages include options to get additional portraits done after the event with a two week turnaround time so you can provide one to every guest who wants a portrait.

Do guests need to sign up or make appointments?

We typically set up a designated illustration station where guests can freely queue up. They won’t have to wait around though, our assistant snaps a photo and they are free to head back to the dance floor while their mini masterpiece is created to be picked up before the end of the night.

What supplies do you provide?

We bring all of our artistic tools and materials, including premium 100% cotton artist paper, archival grade watercolor paints, and brushes. We also have signage to explain the process, stands to create a mini gallery as the night unfolds, and a ring light setup so we can get the perfect reference photo.

Can guests choose their poses or request specific details?

Absolutely! We encourage guests to express themselves and share any preferences they have for their portraits.

What do guests receive?

Each guest receives their completed portrait, carefully protected in a clear sleeve. We also offer optional luxury matting and digital copies for purchase.

What can we expect on the day of the wedding?

We arrive early to set up and ensure a smooth flow. Once set up, we love to engage with the guests. Though we love art, we also love meeting and chatting with the people you hold dearest. Live event illustrations are a perfect way to get the party started.

Do you accept special requests or customizations?

We love creating unique experiences! Please share any specific ideas you have for your wedding, and we'll do our best to accommodate them.
