Have you ever heard of WINE-color Guest Portraits?
Introducing Wine-Color Guest Portraits – my signature live watercolor guest portraits with a twist!
Instead of traditional watercolor, I use real red wine from your vineyard venue or label of choice. It’s chic and totally one-of-a-kind—just like you. Each portrait is hand-painted in different shades of wine, creating a monochromatic masterpiece that’s both elevated and just jaw dropping.
Whether it’s Pinot Noir, Cab Sauv, or your estate’s favorite blend, your wine becomes part of the art. Literally.
This experience pairs perfectly (pun intended) with vineyard weddings, wine country celebrations, and couples who love a little flair in their favors.
Make sure to mention WINE when you contact me!
Why Napa Weddings Are Special
You’ve picked wine country—aka aesthetic goals—for your celebration. Let me bring the charm of live guest paintings and engraving & calligraphy to your wedding in Napa.
I create personalized watercolor pieces that feel modern, romantic, and exclusive—like your venue’s private label wine.
FAQs
-
Nope, I am based in Portland.
But lucky for you,
Napa is a fave and I frequently do events here!
Thus, I have a special rate for Napa weddings and events! -
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.
-
Travel fees will include but are not limited to Artist’s and support staff’s airfare, car rental, lodging costs for one night, and a per-person, per day Per Diem.
Napa Weddings will incur a fee of $675-$850.
-
I require at least one 4-6ft table, 1-2 chairs, and access to an electrical outlet. If the event is outside during the day time, I must be stationed in a covered area.
Not to toot my own horn, but *toot, toot*

5.0
“Words cannot even describe how much we enjoyed working with Danison. Danison’s watercolor guest portraits stole the show! Everyone loved them as a favor (and we even had someone who didn’t come to our wedding tell us how cool they were). He is such a delight to work with! If you’re thinking about adding that service on, no need to look any further—he’s the best.”
“Early on into wedding planning I knew I wanted a unique touch and experience for my guests, a keepsake that goes past the quintessential Photo Booth! He was the talk of the whole evening and many guests, including my husband and I, immediately framed our work the following morning! If you are looking for something unique, eye catching, and absolutely fashion forward gorgeous of a special keepsake, then look no further!”
