My hand painted guest portraits will convey the joy, emotion and celebration so your guests will remember your wedding - a favour to cherish and not discard.</p><p><br></p><p>Such is my passion for painting beautiful guest portraits I offer a tailored service to ensure your favours provide the “wow” factor” to you and your guest on the day. </p><p><br></p><p>All my portraits are presented on high quality 100% cotton paper by Arches using artist grade watercolour paints - no felts here!</p><p><br></p><p>Watercolours are renowned for its light, bright, and translucent qualities. The vibrant but soft nature of watercolours captivates the viewer’s eye in ways that are much different from other mediums and provides a natural and warm depiction of the guests.</p><p><br></p><p>Please be sure to look at examples of my work which will show you how I bring these outcomes to life.</p><p><br></p><p><strong><u>How It Works </u></strong></p><p><br></p><p><u>Consultation </u></p><p>Please message me to see if your date is available and we can then arrange a quick call by phone or video call to discuss the logistics and plans for your wedding day including number of guests and whether you would like a priority guest list to ensure certain guests are captured e.g. parents, grandparents etc. I recommend that you book as early as possible to avoid disappointment</p><p><br></p><p><u>Set-up</u></p><p>I will arrive 1 hour before guests arrive to set up my beautiful traditional easel and equipment (see my pictures), so everything is ready at the start of everyone's arrival. My easel allows me to be position anywhere at your wedding so I'm well positioned amongst your guests. I have my own electricity and lighting so I can even set up outside if the weather is good. I may require a table and chair for my assistant who will be taking photos and packaging while I paint.</p><p><br></p><p><u>Live illustrations/portraits begin</u></p><p>As guest arrives I will engage and take a reference photo so they can continue to mingling with other guests and return to collect their portrait at their convenience. Each portrait takes around 10 minutes per couple depending on the outfit and detail. If there are certain guests you want to include e.g. in-laws then you can send me a shortlist of names in advance.</p><p><br></p><p><u>Collection and take home </u></p><p>By the end of the wedding, guests can collect their finished watercolour portraits and take home as memorable keepsakes. All my portraits are present in a frame mount in a plastic sleeve for safe keeping with your own personalised wedding stamp </p><p><br></p><p><strong><u>Packages & Pricing </u></strong></p><p><br></p><p>I offer three packages</p><p><strong>Classic</strong> 4 hours of guest portraits for around 30 guests with the artist seat at a table <strong>£599</strong></p><p><strong>Signature</strong> - all day/evening guest portraits for around 70 guests with the artist standing at a traditional black or natural wood easel <strong>£999</strong></p><p><strong>Deluxe</strong> - all day/evening guest portraits from around 80+ guests including A4 fine art portraits of the newly weds produced after the wedding, guest portraits presented in a mount stamped with the couples initials and date of wedding with the artist stood at a traditional black or natural wooden easel <strong>£1499</strong></p><p>Portraits of the rest of guest who didn’t get one on the day will be sent to their home address.</p><p><br></p><p>However, if you have more or less guests or would like a different timings please send me a message so I can provide a tailored quote.</p><p> </p><p><br></p><p><strong>All packages includes:</strong></p><ul><li>full consultation to discuss your preferences and logistics;</li><li>professional watercolour and ink guest portraits;</li><li>100% Arches 300 GSM cotton paper;</li><li>live guest painting and interacting with guests and</li><li>presented in a protective plastic sleeve.</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong><u>Additional travel costs</u></strong></p><ul><li>Under 50 miles from London is free and any additional miles is calculated at £0.45/mile</li><li>1 night accommodation cost is added if the travel to the venue exceeds 1.5 hours</li><li>2 night accommodation cost added if travel to the venue exceeds 3 hours (this is to ensure safe travel to and from the venue)</li></ul><p><br></p><p>However I will work all this out for you so you are clear on the prices as depending on the times of your wedding these costs may not be necessary</p><p><br></p><p><strong><u>Next Steps</u></strong></p><p> Message me for more information or to arrange a quick call as the first step to create your dream painting.</p><p><br></p><p>Thank you</p><p>Patrick</p>
