Wedding Reception with a real rainbow....and mini-caricatures!

 This is amazing and has never happened at any outdoor wedding reception I've done that I can remember... first a storm, and then a rainbow!! This was truly an evening full of memorable moments.

Here's the video version, in my IG Reel.



Look at that rainbow!
Ok...let's back up a bit...I arrived with a pre-drawn wedding caricature in a signature mat, for the guests to sign their well wishes, and set up on the patio adjacent to the tent for cocktail hour...I had it covered up so the bride and groom wouldn't see it, as they'd opted to be surprised:


People started signing it, and I commenced drawing guests..with over 250 folks there, I used my line-drawing-only mode with mini-caricatures, for speedy results:

Just as the first hour ended and people were asked to head to the tent, this storm arrived:
So everyone adjourned inside the manor house and I continued drawing:



Once the rain stopped, everyone ventured out to the tent and I took a break, so the bride and groom could make their entrance and have speeches and dances. I took some photos of the unsettled, amazing sky...



After dinner, guests came back to the covered porch (third location!)  where I ended my sessions...




The bride and groom were the very last to receive their caricature:
and it was a success!


Thank you for having me via Gigsalad!

Golden Hour September White-Wedding Silhouettes

This wonderful couple booked me to do silhouettes at their all-white outdoor wedding reception, 
(EVERYONE wore white, including me!)
at which they were keen to have a very relaxed and fun vibe. 
To that end, they had cotton candy, mini-golf, a photo booth and karaoke in addition to my silhouettes. And the venue, Springton Manor Farm, was spectacular! 
Being that it was held on a Sunday late afternoon, the celebration culminated in a sunset to remember! It was such a pleasure being a part of this!







You can see why I love doing silhouettes! The reactions are just as good as those for caricatures!

This was a giant piece of ancient granite embedded in the ground near my spot-- it was pretty neat 
and NO ONE tripped on it!

And this sunset--just amazing!!!!


Thank you so much to this bride and groom for having me. :-)

Here's my two IG Reels, couple reaction and guest silhouettes. Book me to cut silhouttes at 
YOUR memorable wedding reception!

Marvelous music hall wedding caricatures!

 I knew this wedding would be amazing the second I walked in...




It's Elkton Music Hall, a concert/event venue that was converted from one of the first Ford dealerships in the United States. These walls saw Ford Model T's gleam on a showroom floor! My spot is on the right. The couple are creatives, so I felt right at home!

And now for the bride and groom!!


I drew them before starting on their guests because I was able to get a couple of really good photos to work from...but they didn't get to see it until the end of the reception.
The order of the night was 5 x 5 MINI-caricatures for the guests, which are exploding in popularity, I should have offered them a long time ago!






LOL she got in one with her BFF and one with her wife!


They wanted their sunglasses on??


This guy and his heckling friends all proclaimed his nose was SO BIG it wouldn't fit on my paper. So I taped two pieces together and cut his nose out in profile. I call that A WIN for the caricaturist!
LOL!

The bride and groom were presented with THEIR caricature at the end of the night...so sweet!!
(he liked how his beard turned out)
Here is THEIR reaction...awwwww!

I took a selfie by their red rose wall. Thank you for having me!!!
