F.A.Q
Live Illustration
General
Commissions
Laehui Studio will arrive approximately 30–60 minutes before the start of the event. After taking quick reference photos of the guests, the portraits will be painted on site while they enjoy the event. Guests can then pick up their portraits a few hours later.
Laehui Studio can also draw without photos, with guests posing in person. However, this usually creates a line, which can take time away from guests enjoying the event.
Watercolor portraits: about 7–12 minutes per portrait. On average, 5 to 8 portraits per hour will be completed.
Pencil or pen portraits: (without colors) about 4 to 5 minutes. On average, 10 to 15 portraits per hour will be completed.
The time required depends on facial features, outfit complexity, and level of detail, as well as short pauses, guest turnover, and interactions with the artist. All of these factors make it difficult to provide a precise estimate.
These timeframes reflect an efficient pace, while maintaining a high standard of quality.
As Laehui Studio is operated by a single artist, collaborations with other professional illustrators during events with a lot of guests are entirely possible. Additional guest portraits may also be completed in the studio after the wedding or event. Certain packages offer a special pricing for those additional portraits.
I offer to stay up to 8 hours with my full-day package. However, if that isn’t enough time, any guests who weren’t illustrated on site can be painted in the studio after the event, based on photos.
Live illustration packages start from €1000 for a short service, excluding travel.
For most wedding destinations in France, Spain and Italy, and Switzerland, I offer 2 to 3 base package options that include all fees.
Shorter packages from €800 are available in the Basque Country and Landes regions only.
