Burnt orange and umber wedding caricatures

 This fabulous wedding had an unusual color scheme: burnt orange and umber, which was PERFECT for the line-drawing-only caricatures I was drawing for the guests...the toned paper made them POP! 

But first, the bride and groom:

I made sure to get his beloved cognac in there! Here is their reaction on my IG. 

There was a unique connection with this bride---I had drawn her two years ago at an anniversary party. 

All my drawings have my contact info on them, so when she booked me I asked whose party it was, and she told me. Then I asked her what she was wearing at this party and if I'd taken a photo--

she said a green feathered-top.  Turns out

 I'd included her photo when I designed my vinyl pull-up banner I use at almost every gig!!!

She's in the middle photo, top row in glasses, doing duck lips (which is why I included that caricature 

as a sample because it was so cute!) 

Here you can see where I was situated at her gloriously over-the-top reception:

Here's how my toned paper looked for the guest caricatures!

Rainy Day Wedding Caricatures

 This bride and groom got married amidst gentle spring rain showers, on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay...and it was absolutely, stunningly beautiful!

You can see them walking back as a newly married couple in my IG Reel, 

along with their caricature reaction! 

I've been to Swan Harbor before, it's lovely. Its driveway is almost a mile long! 

The cocktail hour was in the manor house, so I started off there, then moved into the big tent on the lawn.

 

This sampler was done by a little girl in the house in 1817, I found it very moving ( I love counted cross stitch too)

So, on to some wedding guests and the Ambiance Reel:

The groom's dad's mother was a prolific artist. so he found my process fascinating.

You can see more of his photos in this Reel, but I really loved the BW photo he took of me.

I didn't even realize he was there as I worked on the bride and groom's caricature,

 from a photo I had taken earlier. 

Thank you for having me via Gigsalad!

Blue-hued wedding caricatures

My profile on The Bash put this bride and I together, almost two years ago (!) for this beautiful wedding reception held at Terrain this past weekend. The long wait was definitely worth it!

Prior to starting on guests during the cocktail hour, I was able to get a photo of both the bride and groom... and so I drew their caricature during the ceremony... from a spot just behind their live band, the Mark Feingold Jazz Trio.

Eventually I ended up near the dance floor (great spot!)

Now for some guests:

Here's my IG Reels: The bride and groom's reaction,

Thank you for having me Jena and Jacob!

Carousel wedding Mini-caricatures!

What a fabulous and magical venue for a Christmastime wedding celebration!

The Carousel at Pottstown

This artist was THRILLED to be there! My caricature spot was alongside the carousel...

The first drawing I did, was of the bride and groom, from a photograph I took after the ceremony, 

and was presented by their DJ to them, ON THE CAROUSEL!

Click here to see their reaction.

Then it was time for mini-caricatures (5 x 5)of the guests:

Tee hee, after seeing it, and laughing, she then posed just like the caricature!

This guy liked being caricatured so much, he was drawn with his wife...AND his brother! 

And the drawings look exactly the same!!!!!!!!

Here's the Ambiance Reel. Thank you to my client, and to Gigsalad, for putting us together!

I loved seeing the caricatures in their envelopes, on tables as I left.
