Such a unique and memorable keepsake!

We hired 2 artists to do digital illustrations and the guests were SO THRILLED with their portraits! The glossy prints were the perfect personalized gift for the guests and they loved sharing and seeing each other's portraits on Instagram. Highly recommended!

Gorgeous personalized keepsake for everyone

The Live Digital Paintings done by the artists during our wedding reception were so flattering and quickly drawn! All the guests raved about their illustrated portraits and we saw them all on Instagram using our hashtag (my husband and my names combined). This is such a great idea and we're so happy to have had it at our wedding. Thank you to the whole team at Etta Shon Arts!

Personal and Unique gift to our guests

This was the most beautiful way to say thank you to each of our guests. We hired 3 artists to do digital illustrations of our guests during the reception. Everyone had a few minutes with the artist, one on one, to draw their illustrations on their iPads. It was so entertaining! We saw each other's portraits on Instagram and everyone loved their prints as well. We're so happy we chose this service, totally worth it!

Personal and Unique gift to our guests

We were so happy to have Live Digital Painting at our wedding because it kept all of our guest's entertained and left with with a memorable gift. All 3 of the artists we hired to illustrate our guests portraits were so friendly, fast, and engaging! Everyone was so touched to have a personalized illustration drawn of them and to be able to share on Instagram instantaneously. The prints were also a special touch which came in beautiful paper frames with our wedding date and names printed on it. Very happy with the service!

A touching experience and gift for our friends and family 

I'm so glad that we opted for Live Digital Painting instead of a photobooth, as this proved to be a far more personal (and personalized!) experience for our wedding guests. We hired 3 illustrators to draw digital illustrations of our guests on their iPads. They were busy for the entire 5 hours of our reception as every single guest wanted a portrait for themselves! We also chose to have the large TV screen rental option so that the illustrations could be displayed for the entire room to see as they were being drawn. The glossy prints were really the icing on the cake. They were so beautiful, printed on photo paper and given in beautiful sleeves with me and my husband's name on them. Thank you so much!

Stunning digital illustrations of our wedding guests

Everyone was floored by the beautiful illustrations that the artists drew of them on the iPads. The illustrations took just a few minutes and the guests were able to post them onto Instagram right away. We had so much fun seeing each other’s portraits. The prints were also so beautiful, presented in a gorgeous heavy paper stock with our initials monogrammed onto them with our wedding date. This was such a unique gift we were able to give to our guests as a thank you for coming to our wedding!

Beautiful memento from talented artists

This was the most entertaining part of our reception! We hired 2 artists to illustrate our guests and everybody wanted a portrait. We should have hired 3 because it was so popular! We had a table and a couple chairs in the dining hall and there was a line of people eagerly waiting their turn. We loved seeing everyone's portrait on Instagram which we could search with our hashtag which was my husband and my names together. The prints were also really beautiful and high quality. Thank you so much for making everyone's day!

A Stunnning Gift For Our Wedding Guests

The illustrations of our guests drawn by the artists on the iPads were incredible. We had 2 artists and I was amazed at how quickly and beautifully they worked. The artists were really personable and engaged with our guests, who were so happy to have their gorgeous (and flattering!) portraits to post on social media. The prints served as a wonderful piece of memorabilia for our wedding and the guests treasured them. They were the perfect size, presented in a beautiful card with our names and the wedding date. It was money well spent.

Highlight of our Reception!

This is such a unique idea! We hired 3 artists to work during our reception and sat them in opposite corners of the hall. Our guests were so excited to get their portraits illustrated by the artists! The prints that they received were so cute and came in beautiful monogrammed sleeve with our initials and the wedding date. Everyone was checking out each other's portraits on Instagram which they posted right away. We would love to hire them back for our private parties!
