Each piece is hand painted by Katie either live or after the event.
Sit back and enjoy while I hand paint your guests!
The flow of the night is seamless. I will photograph your guests so they can head back to the party! I will paint each guest based off the photograph taken. All of the finished illustration portraits are sealed in a protective sleeve and can be picked up at the end of the night!

"One of the best things a bride could do for her wedding is to book a live painter, specifically KP Illustrations! It was such a unique and interactive experience for my guests while also giving them a memento from the day. (no more cheesy knick knacks that just end up in the trash!!) People really enjoy seeing talented people at work, so having Katie painting in person was another feature during the event that my guests loved. I cannot reccomend her enough!!"
