I am able to include up to 5 guests in one portrait.

On average, I can complete each live portrait within 10-12 minutes, ensuring an efficient and entertaining process for your guests.

Either myself or my assistant will take pictures of your guests, and I will paint them from their photos. That way, they can get back to dancing and having fun! Once completed and packaged, guests can collect their portraits by the end of the event.

I am currently able to create a maximum of 10 live couple portraits per hour.

If you choose a full package and have additional guests, I am able to create further portraits after the wedding, from photos taken during the event.

Please note, guests can be in one portrait each, and the portraits are for guests only, not vendors.

The size of the live portrait paintings is typically photograph size of 5x7 inches, providing a convenient and portable keepsake for your guests. Each portrait is carefully packaged to ensure its safe transport and is presented in a protective sleeve, making it easy for guests to take home and display.

I am based in Sydney, Australia, but I regularly travel all over Australia to paint at weddings. My interstate travel fee is AU$750.

Definitely! After I provide the initial quote, we can organise a catch up via Zoom or phone call (whatever you're comfortable with) to make sure we’re the right fit. It's also an opportunity to ask any questions you might have, as I want you to feel totally happy with your decision.

I have signage up to direct guests to come up to the table where I'm sitting, and I take a picture of them to paint their portrait from. I also try to mix it up and alternate between sitting down and walking around to take pictures. I'm very flexible and always open to suggestions!

Frankie is really attentive to all the details.

I came across Frankie's Live Wedding Illustrations via an instagram ad. From the beginning it was easy to communicate with her, and she personalised the whole experience.

She finished any unfinished portraits after the wedding and had them available for pick up 2 weeks after the date. I could not recommend Frankie enough, and if she is really attentive to all the details.
