Heartfelt wedding caricature and their retro-music reception

 This couple had one of the most heartwarming reactions I have ever had to a wedding caricature. 

Here is my drawing they are reacting to:
Their first dance was to "Kiss me once, Kiss me twice" and there was lots more music like that played at the reception...so sweet!
And here they are waiting to make their entrance:

Ok, to backtrack a bit:
I arrived at sunset to the venue, a popular brewery restaurant in Allentown PA.


When I looked out that window shown above, I could see my car was the only one in the parking garage across the street! LOL! The lonely little car on the bottom left above the lobby!

When the guests arrived in the elevator, things started to swing....really! with that classic 40's music!
And I started drawing:









This last couple walked me to my car since the entrance to the parking garage 
was on a side street..so thoughtful! And yup, it was STILL the only car in there! 
(the wedding guests were all shuttled in from a hotel.)

The bride left some wonderful feedback for me on The Bash, 
I appreciate it so much, thank YOU, Heather!


Wedding ReceptionReviewed on November 4, 2022From Allentown, PA

If you're on the fence about booking a caricature artist, don't be. We booked Emily for our wedding and she was such a great addition to our day. Emily was professional, on time, she was outstanding with our guests and her rates are super competitive. Everyone who had a piece drawn by her has framed them in their house and our guests are still raving about the experience. This was such a nice and unique addition to our wedding and I'm really glad we decided to add Emily last minute. My only regret is not booking her for a longer period of time, so I definitely recommend having her available at your cocktail hour and entire reception!

60th Birthday Masquerade caricatures!!!

 This milestone birthday party was a total joy---glamorous and heartwarming at the same time! It was held in a hotel ballroom and featured a very good live band. Of course, I dressed up too!! They had me seated just outside the entrance to the ballroom...

...where the photographer was also doing his thing. 

Here is the birthday girl in all her glory: (I hope I look half as good as her when I hit 60!!)
and some of her family and friends:








Thank you so much for having me, Lori!!

Caricatures from the BIG CHAIR!

At this outdoor company event, my client asked me if I could draw caricatures of subjects in an unusual spot...this GIANT CHAIR! I was a little dubious, (because of the crazy up-your-nose angle) but it turned out to be quite an amazing choice! 





This is the wide view, there were other festivities and music going on all around me:
..and they even had a big sign for me, to go with the big chair:
Love it! Thank you for having me!
