What size should I choose?
Choose the size based on how you plan to use the painting. If you want it to be a statement piece or the main focal point, a larger size is recommended.
The artist determines whether it will be vertical or horizontal on-site unless the client specifies otherwise.
Still thinking about it?
Consider bundling guest portraits with custom artwork for your wedding invitations, table signs, or thank you cards.
We'd love to fill your wedding cocktail hour and reception with art, light, laughter and joy!

For guest wedding favors portraits, Nicole uses high quality watercolors and ink pens on mixed media paper. She sets her materials up in an area that allows her a good view of your event but towards the back as to not disrupt the ceremony. It's a great way for your guest to see the progress of their paintings and get some great interactions. All she requires is a table, chairs, and an electrical outlet.
For our bride and groom canvas paintings, Nicole uses high quality acrylics. She also uses a high-quality finish and sealer so your art will last for years to come.
