FAQs

  • Washougal, WA. Just 30 minutes outside of Portland.

  • You will need to pay a 30% non-refundable retainer upon the signing/receipt of the contract + security deposit (if applicable). The remainder will be due two weeks prior to your event.

    For services that are based on final guest count, I will adjust the quote accordingly prior to final payment.

  • I have a $100 flat fee for travel up to 60 miles. Additional travel costs will be applied at the current IRS standard cost per mile exceeding 60 miles to and from Artist’s studio location.

    If Artist & support staff are scheduled to work until 10:30PM or later and the reception venue is more than 90 miles from Artist’s and support staff’s home(s), a lodging and accommodation fee for any ground transportation and one overnight stay will be applied.

    For anything farther than 2ish hours/requires air travel, it will be considered a destination wedding.

  • YES! I would love to travel for your event! Destination travel fees will include but are not limited to Artist’s and support staff’s airfare, car rental, lodging costs for two nights, and $100 per-person, per day Per Diem.

    Destination weddings and events typically will incur a travel fee ranging anywhere between $625-$3,000.

    Seattle, WA | $625 - $800
    Napa, CA | $675 - $850
    Orlando & Tampa, FL | $975-$1,150

A Little About The Live Artist

Hi, I'm Danison Fronda-Tietz—the heart, hands, and hype behind Bowtie & Brush. I create live watercolor guest portraits and engraved keepsakes that turns weddings and events into unforgettable experiences. My art captures details and stories in a way that’s personal, fashion-forward, and totally unique.

What sets me apart isn’t just the art (although your guests will frame it the next morning). It’s the energy I bring. I don’t just show up—I celebrate with you. Clients often say I become the talk of the night, the surprise favorite, and even “a friend for life.”

With over 100+ weddings and events under my belt, I’ve created thousands of keepsakes—always with professionalism, kindness, and a dash of charm. If you're looking for a keepsake that’ll make your guests say “this is so them,” you're in the right place.
