Live Event Guest Portraits~ The Experience~

We aim to keep our services simple, transparent, and stress-free, so you can enjoy your special day without surprises. Our all-inclusive approach — based on guest count and includes studio time if necessary— allows all of your guests to receive a one-of-a-kind portrait card and lets you plan with confidence.

  • We snap a quick photo — guests don’t need to stop celebrating, and we also have a fun “pose board” for inspiration.

    We paint live using watercolor and embellishments, and guests are free to interact and watch the process as their portraits come to life.

    Portraits are displayed on our live art stand throughout the event, where guests can enjoy seeing themselves, their friends, and family featured in the artwork.

    Portraits are done! Couples have the option to let guests leave the event with their portraits as a party favor, or we collect them afterward for the couple to use as unique thank-you cards.

  • Two Artists
    Every booking includes two live artists, working together to balance speed with meticulous detail, efficiently creating beautiful portraits while keeping the live-art experience seamless for your guests.

    Hours & Timing
    We set up during your ceremony (or otherwise arranged time) and begin painting at cocktail hour, continuing through the reception — usually 4–6 hours of live painting, depending on your timeline and guest count.

    Quality
    We use high-quality 5” by 7” watercolor paper or fold-over cards, using premium watercolor paints and embellishing with glitter paint, jewels, and pearls.

    All-Inclusive Pricing & Studio Time
    Every guest who wants a portrait receives one — no repeats. We paint primarily couples portraits but also accommodate singles and small groups/ families with children. Depending on your guest count and live art timeline, some studio time to finish any portraits after the event may be necessary and is included — no additional charges. All portraits are mailed to you within 30 days.

    Display & Keepsakes
    Portraits are displayed during the event on our “live art” stand for everyone to enjoy. Couples can choose:

    • Party Favors: Guests take their portraits home that night

    • Thank You Cards: Portraits are collected after the event for the couple to use as special thank-you cards (ideal for larger guest counts, or if you want a full display board).

    Custom Stamp
    Each portrait comes with a custom stamp selected by the couple, adding a personal touch to every keepsake (can be omitted).

    Additional Services
    When you book live guest art with us, we offer significant discounts on our additional and complimentary artwork and services, including live or after-event bride/groom portraits (watercolor or oil) and bridal bouquet preservation.

    Travel & Booking
    We’re based in Castle Rock and we do travel! We include up to 80 miles round trip in our packages, and quote $1 per mile of additional mileage. Event locations over 2 hours away may require an additional cost if an overnight stay is necessary due to the event timeline.

    A $150 retainer secures your date and goes toward your final balance, not due until 30 days before your event date.
