September outdoor wedding caricatures....

 This misty, but beautiful evening in September saw this heartfelt outdoor wedding in Lancaster County...

with caricatures at the reception!

I was situated in my own tent, just next to a rustic pavillion for the guests.

(the chairs were all in use at the ceremony when I took the above photo)

After that, the guests arrived at my tent and I got busy!

This couple were nonagenarians!!!

The bride was my client, and she recently saw me at a Quinceanera I did nearby. 

She also knows another bride I did some years ago. So it felt like family!

 Here's the bride and groom with their caricature (and me!) 

Thank you both for having me on such a special day!!

Beautiful (and Energetic!) Wedding (with my caricatures!)

 

This one was held in The Waterfall, a wedding venue quite close to where I live...which is always nice for me, not to have to drive for long, after drawing for hours.

It's an impressive place to have a reception,  (in fact, the post-prom I did on Friday evening had the kids coming directly from here, where their actual prom was held!) but more importantly, the staff are always top-notch and helpful to me.

The dress code was classic black and all the guests got the memo! This was the cocktail hour, here.

Didn't take many pics because I was slammed!! :-)

Then everyone moved into the ballroom, including me...

The bride and groom made an EXUBERANT entrance. You can see it here on my IG Reel.

Here's their wedding caricature!

Now for some WEDDING GUESTS!!!!

Above: here's their reaction on my IG LOL....

I got the "wear black" memo too! Thank you for having me, Brianna and Chris!!

Cape May wedding caricatures...2023 edition

 I am honored to be on the preferred-vendor list of the Peter Shields Inn in Cape May, NJ...a beautiful Victorian seaside resort town that is one of my and my husband's favorite getaway places. So, I was thrilled to be part of yet another beachside wedding here..this one literally on the front steps, celebrating two brides:

That was my view of the ceremony while setting up!

Once the ceremony was over, people were ready to party--and get caricatured! Here they come!

Someone told me these ladies wanted their "hot legs" included!

And below, she wanted her espresso martini in it!

I just love the ornate mirrors in this room, so bear with me for the selfies...

Thanks for the love, PSI! and thanks to my two brides for having me be part of their wedding day!

I love my job!!!! 

UPDATE 6-22-23:

I got a lovely email from the brides, thank you so much!

Thank you so much for drawing everyone at our wedding! No one there had been to a wedding with a caricature artist before and you were definitely a hit! Our guests loved that they could have a memory of them and a loved one to take home. Thank you again for contributing your talents to our big day; booking you was one of the best vendor decisions we made for our wedding. 

My final Caricature Event of 2021....

...was a two-groom New Year's Eve wedding---held in a local venue I've drawn in many times.  For the last day of December, the weather was definitely wonky...60 degrees F...so the grooms' attire was actually appropriate!

For the rest of us, the dress code was: PAJAMA PARTY!! I wore my new Nautica red flannel pjs, bought especially for the occasion. My setup was situated by the bar just outside the ballroom:

My hubby was with me so we could still spend NYE together, and he got some wonderful photos and videos of my work, like the one above!

Here's a few of the many caricatures I cranked out:

Here's a few videos: ( two reactions and a time-lapse)

Happy New Year! May 2022 be happier and healthier for everyone!
