Proposal for Live Guest Portrait Services
Hello Shannon!
I believe you will find live portraits to be a fun experience and thoughtful favor for your guests. I am thrilled to be considered to paint portraits for your daughter’s wedding! With the Portrait Bar option I’ve detailed below, each of your guests will pose for a quick photo and many of the portraits will be ready to pick up at the end of the evening. The remainder will be finished in studio and mailed to you.
I hope you find that live guest portraits will speak to your personal aesthetic taste and provide a joyful, classical experience for your guests. I’m always happy to jump on a phone call to clarify any of the information or talk new ideas.

Kind words from clients
Julianne Sojourner - Floral Designer in South Carolina
Jamie Peterson and her team did a beautiful job at my daughter’s wedding this summer painting abstract portraits of our guests. Her portrait bar was attractive and approachable and created a little excitement for our friends and family. It was fun to watch them strike a quick pose and then receive a lovely keepsake of Ellis and Hank’s wedding.
Jamie was a dream to work with; professional, prompt and quick to respond to every question. As a floral designer and wedding stylist, I had admired her work for years and knew I would want to include her talents for my own daughter’s wedding reception.
