Q: How many people can you guarantee will be drawn at my event? What if you do not finish drawing all of my guests?

A: I will illustrate the bride and groom on a separate day to ensure the artwork is thoroughly detailed and not rushed. This artwork will be done on 9x12 paper (as opposed to the 5x7 for the guests), framed, and then mailed to you within 2 weeks of your wedding day.

A: Depending on the size of your wedding/ event will determine how many hours I should be present on site to ensure the majority, if not all, requested illustrations can be completed. For a wedding with 60-80 guests, 4 hours is recommended. 100+ guests, 5-6 hours is recommended.
