Not Another Photo Booth!

I was looking for an original concept to provide something fun and memorable for my guests at my wedding, and A.E.’s live sketching more than fit the bill. From the very beginning, A.E. was a pleasure to deal with, dependable, and blended right in among the guests as he went to work sketching. Guests were delighted and tickled when they were handed an envelope containing an original portrait for them to take home. A.E. provided us with a lovely sketch of our ceremony, and he will also sketch anyone you specifically request among the guests. A.E.’s live sketching more than enhanced the experience at my wedding, and I cannot recommend him enough for your event.

Completely blown away!

As my husband and I were planning our wedding, one of the things we knew we wanted was something unexpected for our guests to enjoy and A.E. Kieren completely blew us away!

He's a master at his craft and his ability to create such stylish portraits while seamlessly blending in with the crowd was so smooth. I can't begin to tell you how overjoyed our guests were when they were one of the lucky (and unsuspecting) recipients. It made a special day feel all the more special and we're so grateful that A.E. Kieren could be a part of it. Can't recommend him enough!

Total highlight!

Anthony was without a doubt the highlight of our welcome party. Guests had no idea he was sketching until he presented them with a drawing, and all of our guests commented it was one of the most unique things they've ever seen at a wedding. It's a super special touch that people can walk away with a memento from the night. We would hire him again in a heartbeat!

A.E. Kieren live drawing at our wedding

Anthony was at our wedding live drawing the ceremony & guests mingling at the reception. He was professional & added an old world touch to our special day. The guests loved receiving surprise drawings & I couldn’t imagine our day without him!!! 10 out of 10 we recommend Anthony! 🙂

Capturing the wedding weekend in sketch

This was a fun and unique addition to the wedding weekend. Anthony followed us around to each of the wedding events (rehearsal dinner, getting ready, first look, ceremony, reception, brunch...) and captured moments as a keepsake my clients and their guests. It was such a hit. Anthony is great.

Out of the world

Hiring A.E. to live sketch our wedding was an absolute highlight. We hung a clothesline with pins and A.E. was essentially building an art gallery as the night went out. Truly fantastic. Our guests were in complete awe seeing themselves come to life in his art and the pieces he did were just spectacular. Hands down could not recommend him enough. Insanely unique and beautiful memories from the wedding--worth every penny.

Priceless Portrait!

AE Kieran is an incredible asset to any party, event (or in my case a wedding!) I used him for several events for work and reached out to him to see if he would be interested in painting for my wedding. What a memorable element to our very special day! Everyone in our micro wedding got a portrait and he even painted a beautiful piece of us getting married. I'm finding as many excuses as I can to book him again!

The Coolest Vendor Ever!

A.E. Kieren was the best vendor that I chose for my wedding day! Everyone said how awesome it was that we hired an illustrator. He was professional yet laid back and blended in perfectly with our crowd. He also had the coolest attire. We got a great watercolor of our ceremony and he was sure to draw several people from our wedding party. I felt very fortunate to have the opportunity for him be a part of my day!!!

An Incredible and Unique Addition to our wedding

Hiring A.E. For our wedding was such a fantastic idea. Having him at our wedding gave our guests a wonderful gift! Not only is his live painting mesmerizing to watch, but his stunning portraits were a great bonus gift for our guests to take home as an additional memory of the night. A.E. Is an incredibly talented artist and a wonderful person. I would highly recommend him for any event—a phenomenal and unique addition!
