Live Guest Portraits
You've put dozens of hours of thought and emotional commitment into your wedding.
And even though your wedding will be stunning, you're starting to wonder if it might feel like the other five weddings you've been to this year. Another pretty reception, another chorus of "YMCA," another table of tchotchke favors no one actually wants to take home.
​
The last thing you want is for your thoughtful touches to end up in the trash 2 days later… Or worse, get left behind.
“I’m going to frame this and put it on our dresser!"
Imagine your guests actually crowding around the favors table. They are mesmerized. Because this isn't what they're used to at any of the other celebrations. This is an experience.
​​​​​​​
And they see their painting and think about your wedding for years.
​
And the coolest part? They’ve never seen anything like this at a wedding before.
"OMG is mine ready yet?"
did you know?
Up to 70% of wedding favors get left behind or thrown out. Industry data indicates that only about 30% of guests actually take home traditional trinkets or personalized keepsakes.
But most couples want that unique touch to thank those most special to them.
With live guest portraits you get both a gorgeous keepsake your guests actually want and a wow-factor almost no other celebrations have

EXPERIENCE THE
difference
01
Framed portrait of YOU!
Don’t worry girlie, you get a custom portrait too! I'll make it bigger (cause it's your day, duh). And, I’ll frame it for you, cause you deserve the cutest keepsake of all at your wedding
02
ALL your guests painted
Others will charge you EXTRA for guests they don’t paint night of… Not your fault they weren’t fast enough! I will never charge you extra for any uncompleted guest portraits, and any we can't complete night of I'll mail to you personally! But don't worry, I'm speedy ;)
03
Professional Packaging
Guests get to take home their portraits packaged up all cutsie– just like when you invest in a print from a gallery
04
Guest entertainment
Trust me, your guests will come back to my table over and over to watch the process, see if their portrait is done, and look through the painting to see who they recognize. Mothers of the bride? They love delivering the finished portraits to guests at their tables.
"Each guest was photographed during cocktails, then Rachel worked her magic with her watercolors while we had dinner.
I loved that my friends and family were able to take home such a one-of-a-kind favor!
From our communication prior to the party to the event itself, Rachel was kind, professional, and thoughtful.
I highly recommend her for any event that you're planning if you're looking to add a personalized touch!"
-Jean
