Over the weekend I got the chance to live fashion sketch in Chicago, for an intimate wedding reception for a lovely couple: Mark & Debbie! It was held at the beautiful Boka restaurant in Lincoln Park. I was so excited because this restaurant is stunning and a Michelin star ;) So events like this always feel extra special and elevated.
It was 75 and sunny, just the perfect day for a wedding. And I adored the flowers.
We created full color sketches on 5 x 7” for guests to take home. They LOVED them. It was so fun to make their guests something super memorable.
I was able to make a lot of people smile, and that always is a pleasure. Live sketching guests fashion fits is always so rewarding. I understand how much time and effort guests put into what they wear for a wedding…so being able to create a keepsake of their look in a handmade piece of art seems fitting.
A side note: some weddings & events I do not capture every photo of guests with their artwork, and this event I did that. I have over 93K followers on Instagram and when I post on social, I am becoming more aware of protecting guest’s & client’s privacy. It’s something I am currently figuring out. If you are interested in booking and want your event to be private, please let me know so I can create the experience you feel most comfortable with.
My set up was in a cozy chic booth!
My couple emailed the next morning, and it put a huge smile on my face :)
Mark & Debbie were kind enough to let me try out the food & drinks at the event. The Korean fried chicken sliders & pasta were SO GOOD! I felt very taken care of and appreciated. Thank you again to Mark, Debbie and the Boka team!
