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!

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.”

— Christine + Noah

“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!”
