When planning live illustration for a wedding, a common question arises: Why should we book an assistant as well?
While it is entirely possible to book me alone for smaller, intimate gatherings, larger guest lists require a different approach. For bigger celebrations, adding an assistant to the booking ensures a seamless flow and elevates the quality of the service.
The key lies in a clear division of tasks, which directly benefits you and your guests:
- Safe and organised handling: My assistant manages the logistics, which includes drying, sorting, and packaging the finished artworks. Removing these steps from my workflow directly increases my efficiency, allowing me to complete significantly more guest portraits in the same amount of time.
- Zero waiting times: Instead of waiting at my table, guests are welcomed by my assistant, who takes a quick reference photo of their outfit. Guests can immediately return to the party, while I use the photo to create the portrait.
- Undivided artistic focus: With my assistant managing guest communication and questions, I can remain fully focused at my drawing table. This uninterrupted time allows me to work faster and deliver more detailed illustrations throughout the evening.
In short, booking an assistant ensures that your guests can fully enjoy the celebration while a smooth, professional art studio operates quietly in the background. It provides the necessary structure to capture as many of your loved ones as possible.
We are grateful to the couples who choose this collaborative approach, allowing us to deliver the best possible experience for their special day.
