Remember, not ALL guests want a live illustration & it is an experience regardless how many people receive one.

Yes! I can plan a simple background that can go on all illustrations.

My suggestion is at least 6 months in advance for Winter & Fall weddings. Spring and Summer at least 3 months. You never know! Your date could be booked so please inquire as soon as you get the urge.

What mediums do you use?

Typically Watercolor. Typically I use Watercolor and copic markers due to the # of guests brides request to be completed.

What do you need from the venue?

As the live event illustrator, bring my art supplies. I will require one 6 ft table and 2 chairs located out of direct sunlight and away from a DJ. I also require a vendor meal. If an assistant is present, they also require a meal.
