Describe your typical process with a couple.
Agree, by exchange of images taken by the couple, of the venue - or suggested by me, the most appropriate view of the wedding ceremony venue to be drawn or painted and the wording of the dedication the couple would like. Do they want to have drawn or painted portraits added to the venue artwork? How would they like the picture to be presented, in a mount or a frame?
Once decided, the drawing or painting will be made and an image can be sent to the couple before the wedding for approval. Once approved and paid, the picture can be delivered or presented on the wedding day, so it can be displayed at the reception.

A drawing of both couples childhood homes along with the wedding venue.

The drawing or painting is always prepared well before the wedding day.
