“Want guest portraits that feel chic,and not cartoon-y?”
“You’re sooooo
in the right place.”
I paint live watercolor guest portraits that look more “editorial fashion model” than “caricature.”
Your guests get a favor they’ll actually keep.
You get an experience that feels high-end, interactive, and not super basic.

As a Portland-based live wedding artist who frequently serves Napa Valley, I love creating watercolor guest portraits in settings like these—where the experience feels just as meaningful as the keepsake itself. From vineyard estates to the overall feel of the celebrations here, events in this area always feel artistic and sophisticated.

But why should your guests have all the fun?
You deserve something too.
You get your own portrait—done with extra detail.
I’ll work my magic to grab reference photos of you and your ceremony space to create a more detailed portrait of you two—with a loosely sketched background!
And after the wedding? You get the full gallery.
Spoiler alert, you’re not going to see every portrait on your big day because you’ll be busy doing the whole getting married thing.
That’s why I scan every guest portrait and professionally format them into a keepsake poster—so you can see the full collection all at once and relive the night from your guests’ POV.

I offer flat travel fees for local events and many popular destinations across the country, so you can get a clear idea without a bunch of back-and-forth.
For local celebrations, this typically covers mileage and gas, and for destination events it may include gas/mileage or airfare, lodging (usually 1 night for longer drives/West Coast locations and 2 nights for longer flights), plus a per diem for food and incidentals.
You’ll see the exact travel fee when you select your region on my inquiry form. If your destination isn’t listed—or if it’s international—a custom travel quote will be required.
