ALL DAY PLATINUM

The ALL DAY PLATINUM package has everything I have to offer AND some delightful additions after the wedding: the Story of your Wedding and hours of guest portraits for those waiting times when your guests might not have a lot to do. You will also get an oil painting afterwards and not just the original sketch album, but two additional ones with prints, to give as presents to your family. (more can be added for extra fee).

I will be there for you all day, doing a combination of live sketching, sketches from photos and guest portraits. It’s the perfect setup for the day, capturing your story through sketches, and providing fun for your guests (and you!) having their portraits done.

Some of the work will be done on the day and some later, after the wedding, to make the most out of every minute and ensure that all those precious memories are captured for you to enjoy in the years to come!

SO WHAT IS INCLUDED EXACTLY?

Telling your Story though Sketches

The “story of your wedding” part captures all important moments of the day. Some of the sketches will be done live and some will be added later, from photos. I don’t like rushing the drawing, while at the same time I want to capture all that is important to you. You will get about 15 sketches, depending on how much time you would like me to dedicate to this part (negotiable).

You will get to chose which moments to include in the story, I can start in the morning with the bride/groom preparation or later, depending on your preference.

After the wedding the sketches will be bound into a personalised, hand-bound album, made especially for you. This gives you your own, unique, illustrated book of your wedding. You will also get two additional albums with prints to give as presents to your family.

These sketches are always drawn on archival quality watercolour paper, with ink and watercolours.

The sketches will also be scanned and uploaded to a password protected online gallery, allowing you to download the digital version and order additional prints. You can share this gallery with your family and friends, of course.

guest portraits

Guest portraits not only provide entertainment and fun for your guests, they also give them something that lasts, something very personal, and make a lovely reminder of your wedding.

I offer guest portraits in different styles, including a fun and fast Quentin Blake inspired style. The choice will be entirely up to you.

Guest portraits are drawn either digitally or traditionally on paper, and given to your guests when finished. Drawn digitally, they can be sent to your guests mobiles or email address right away, or uploaded to an online gallery to view and download (the fastest option).

The digital portraits are free-hand drawn on my iPad, the same way I would draw them on paper. It’s an option I always recommend for its many advantages.

Digital Portraits Advantages

Your guests will have their portrait right away in a digital form.
They are a bit faster because I don’t need to wait for wet layers to dry.
More than one person can have their own copy, or order prints afterwards.
Your guests can share the sketches without having to try to photograph them.
They won’t be left behind accidentally or get drinks spilled on them
You will receive a set of prints of all the guest portraits after the wedding.

OIL PAINTING

An oil painting from a wedding photo of your choice, done after the wedding.

This would typically be the bride or the couple, special moment etc… I am happy to assist you in choosing which one of your photos would work the best for an oil painting, capturing this special memory in the way you can enjoy looking at years down the line.

The oil painting included in this package is 16 x 12″ and is unframed. I can arrange framing for an additional cost (the cost depends on the type of frame you would like).

My way of painting is combining the traditional with contemporary, to really bring the painting to life. I usually work in a loose and spontaneous style, yet keeping some areas well defined – a winning combination that doesn’t just replicate the photo you already have.

I have decades long experience with painting various subjects, from portraits to landscape, and use everything I learned to create the best painting of your wedding or any other special moment.
