Buttercup-yellow-themed wedding reception in cobblestoned garden

Saturday's wedding reception was a joyous outdoor event, that included my MINI-caricatures! 

Of course, I did them on yellow paper. But first, here are the beautiful bride (she booked me after coming across my work on Instagram!) and handsome groom, on normal sized paper:


My spot was at one end of a courtyard between some old industrial buildings:
Here's the ambiance Reel.

I don't have any yellow clothing so I wore my usual black-and-white:


Here are some of my drawings!
I have to say, I coveted her dress!


These mini-caricature papers are just 5" x 5" and are very easy to put in a purse or otherwise transport, or even just have on your table at a reception. Plus, they are CUTE!





There was no way I could fit these two on one paper!

I am just so happy I have the job that I do. :-)
Thanks to Briana and Dontae for having me!

Fabulous Indian Wedding Celebration in a tented backyard

This summer Friday evening in a Delaware backyard won't be forgotten anytime soon...

I drew my speedy line-drawing-only caricatures at a fabulous wedding celebration, one of several for this newly married couple:

Here's my IG Reel for their reaction, and for ambiance!

The tent was so elegant, there was a live music trio singing jazz, and I was seated next to the henna artist.

I did couples, singles, friends and family groups until the sun set and it was full dark...

I had a wonderful view of the gorgeous sunset:

After I finished my allotted time, I had a plateful of some exquisitely good Indian food 
(the caterers were all the way from northern NJ)
Thanks again for having me!

Carnival-themed summer party at senior community

 This senior community has my caricatures at events twice a year, and this was the summer edition:

Here's the vibe in my IG Reel. So, here are a few of my drawings...

I usually ask the guests where they were from originally, before they moved to this lovely senior community...and this lady was from my hometown...and my street....turns out she lived five houses up and across from me, and my brother was a friend of her son (whom I am also FB friends with). 
Small world!!!!

This couple has been married for SEVENTY-FIVE years and are smiling away, awww! Plus he just celebrated his 100th birthday. I was very happy to draw them to commemorate both those milestones!



Finally...a Three Generation caricature!!

Thank you to Ivy Creek for having me!

Outdoor wedding reception, with caricaturist colleague ArtGirl

Art Girl Deb actually brought me along to help out at her gig, which was appreciated by me!
Here's my Reel about this very sultry evening. 

As I mentioned, it was a blazingly hot evening, but the bridal couple and guests were definitely in a celebratory mood ;) 
We artists were stationed in a snug little air-conditioned barn---so we were a very popular attraction! (this photo was taken at the end of the night)


Here's some of my work:



This is Deb at work:
...with some kissy-kissy subjects! 


And here's one of me NOT at work ;-)
We always seem to sartorially match when we meet up, and we aren't even trying!!

Thanks to Deb's clients, and Deb for having me! :-)

A Teal and Apricot-colored wedding with caricatures!

This was the color scheme, for this lovely wedding reception at a golf course in Wilmington, Delaware.
I drew on teal and apricot toned paper:



These are my  FAST unshaded line drawing caricatures, since there were more than 100 guests---and I was able to draw more than half of them!
 See more wedding guests here:     Reel 1.     Reel 2


So...the bride and groom were my final of the night...and they spent most of their time on the dance floor, hence the un-tuxed groom.  Here's a link to their adorable reaction. 

Thanks so much for having me (and for the cookies!!!)! The bride's mom found my listing on the Knot.

Update: Bride's mom left this feedback on my Google listing. Thank you!!!

Emily was simply amazing! Professional and fun! All the guests loved their pictures. If you are on the fence don't be.. book Emily for that extra personal touch.
