Guest Portrait Investment
Each investment comes with up to four hours of live painting. I'll set up in your selected location to depict the moment of your choice. Guest are welcome to watch the process.
Each portrait is a custom piece of art, so investment is based on the number of portraits commissioned. If not every guest chooses to participate, your final total will be reduced.
30 guests painted — $1,600
60 guests painted — $2,200
90 guests painted — $2,800
120 guests painted — $3,400
More guests? That's fine!
I'll work with you to develop a custom quote.
With ideal guest flow, I can paint about 10 - 12 guests per hour during the event.
I'll finish the paintings at my studio and return the full set to you in a lux wedding box.
You can also request custom commissions, such as a wedding couple portrait, a custom love map, or bridal party portrait; each is $250.

The Process
01
Booking & Consultation
The process begins with a personal consultation to discuss your wedding's unique aesthetic and timeline. Once complete, we secure your date with a professional booking agreement and initial deposit, ensuring everything will be prepared for your special occasion.
02
Artist Station Setup
On the day of the event, I will arrive early to prepare my artist station. The location should be chosen to pique guest curiosity and integrate seamlessly with your décor, adding an immersive artistic layer to the environment.
03
The Live Portrait Experience
Guests are invited to pose briefly for a photo to paint from. They are welcome to stay, mingle, and watch the process. This live interaction becomes a centerpiece of the guest experience, providing entertainment throughout the evening.
04
Personalized Delivery
Paintings are completed in my home studio and delivered to you or your wedding coordinator in a gorgeous, lux box. Keep them as a memento or send them out to your guests as a frame worthy thank-you!

Kind Words
"We cannot recommend Tara enough. She is incredibly friendly, thoughtful, responsive, and prepared, and her work is second-to-none! We received so many compliments from our guests. They all say it was a highlight from our wedding, and that they couldn't wait to get their portraits. Many of our guests already have their portraits framed!"
