Main Line-mansion wedding caricatures!

I love old historic houses, and it's really cool to be a part of wedding receptions held in them! This one was at Hilltop House in Devon, PA. Unfortunately, I did not have any time to get photos of this venue and its beautiful gardens, as I arrived directly from a previous gig and got busy drawing right away!

TThe bride and groom were so sweet, they incorporated Polynesian customs into the celebrations--leis from Hawaii, and a quilt wrapping them warmly once they were man and wife. Of course I included that in their caricature!

Here's a view of the quilt--handmade and also from Hawaii!

I was situated in the sun room just off the patio, next to a wonderful bartender--who enjoyed having a front row seat to my drawing, he said!

The wedding colors were light blue and burgundy, so I used blue paper, and an image of the venue printed lightly on them, which was the bride's suggestion. I think it's a nice touch!

Congrats to the very happy couple and thanks for having me!

Gold Star Families annual picnic--with my caricatures!

I met the hostess of this Gold Star Moms event at another event earlier this year, and she and her husband booked me immediately for this gathering! It's so great to be appreciated that way! 

They had me out on a lovely family room/porch of their home, and the guests found their way inside to me to be caricatured!

Before the party started, the national anthem was sung and everyone pledged allegiance...

Then I got to work! :-)

There was live music too! This is the band:

It was totally my pleasure to be there...thank you in more ways than one!

Penn State Friends-Family-Founders Day Caricatures!

 

Yes the Nittany Lion was there too!

and two fun reactions:

University Dining Hall Caricatures!

 

My caricatures were part of a carnival-themed, student-morale dining event at UD! Thanks to TheBash hooking me up with my client.

I did my fast line-drawing-only style so as to get more kids drawn.

My client left this feedback for me on The Bash (thank you!!!!)

Emily was such a pleasure to have at our university dining hall event! It was such a cool touch to put the engagement with the students over the top! I would definitely recommend Emily, and she will certainly be the first call I make for future events! Campus Dining Hall Manager, College event, 9-22-22

Backyard wedding caricatures under the trees...

This past weekend's wedding-reception caricature-gig was another outdoor (on a PERFECT day weather-wise), at-home event...held at the childhood farmette of the groom. They literally couldn't have done much more to make it an amazing, memorable event for their guests ---bubbles at the ceremony, barbecue feast, bourbon bar, ice cream truck, a white bounce house, pretzel gift bags, enthusiastic dancing, cornhole games, sparkler send-off (and a porty-potty that was more like a high-end hotel)!

 The ceremony was held by their barn...their huge tent was in the backyard...and lots of fun stuff was happening under the grove of trees. Including caricatures!

Here's a view of my set-up (and me, with my new glasses!)

The bride and groom had me do their wedding caricature from photos beforehand, and it was a FAMILY caricature! The kids were best man and maid of honor ,too. Isn't that so sweet? I had it on display near my easel. 

Now for some caricatures!

And a couple of reactions for good measure:

Finally, this couple were SO great together...and they made their entrance to a song no one's ever used at a wedding I've been to...

If you couldn't tell, it's Hot for Teacher. Actually I hope it's muffled enough to stay up on my blog. ;-)

I have the best job!!!! Stayed later than anticipated, thank you for having me!
