Amara creates custom templated portraits on A5 paper for guests at your selected event. Sketches are in watercolour paint and coloured pencil and can be provided in envelopes or wrapped in cellophane for preservation on the day. Packages are listed below. If the packages do not suit your event, please enquire below and Amara will do her best to suit your event.

Amara has all necessary art supplies for the day. Amara would need your venue to have a table set up for the desired time of the illustrations taking place.

On average, Amara can draw 1 guest in roughly 6-10 minutes & 2 guests in roughly 8-12 minutes. Please take into account transition times between each guest/drawing. Amara can approximately draw 4-6 couples or 8-10 guests per hour.

Absolutely! If you are interested and your wedding is in 2024, feel free to reach out via the contact forum below and I will give you further information around working at your special event! Thanks for understanding!

You will begin by filling out my inquiry form. If your wedding date is available on my event and design calendar, Amara will discuss with you a suitable package for the day. Amara is always happy to discuss all aspects of your vision for your illustrations to ensure you receive the service and product you absolutely love!

Once you are happy with your package and thoroughly discussed this with Amara. you can proceed to secure your date by directly purchasing your package online.

Please note - until a payment has been made, your date is not secure and can be booked by another customer.

As I am able to complete roughly 40-50 people in illustrations on the day/night (based on a 6 hour event) I may not be able to finish all the images I’ve taken of your guests at the event. You can add on to your package, where after the event I can finish the illustrations at my studio and send them to you so all your guests who are expecting an illustration will gain their illustrations at a later date and not be disappointed!

Please note the cost will cover up to a specific amount of images based on the package you’ve purchased. Please enquire directly to Amara.

I require a minimum of 3 hours and a maximum of 6 hours per event. In events such as a wedding, I will be drawing during the cocktail hour of your reception to ensure most guests will be able to have a drawing to take home!

During other events, when you would need my service is negotiable to suit your schedule of the day/night.

Yes absolutely! Ensure that you enquire below as additional fees apply.

Amara does not charge additional travel fee within 15km of the CBD.

If your event is 15km outside of the CBD, additional costs apply.

Approximately 30 minutes from the CBD is a travel fee of $110

4. Artistic Style & Creative Process

Live Art Guest Illustrations

• My live illustrations are created in a fashion-inspired style and do not include facial details. By booking, you acknowledge and accept this artistic approach.

• Each illustration is created on-site, and guests are welcome to take their sketches home.

• The number of guests illustrated depends on the timeframe booked and the event’s pace. I strive to capture as many guests as possible but do not guarantee every individual will be illustrated.

Live Wedding Paintings

• My wedding paintings focus on capturing the atmosphere, movement, and essence of the moment rather than exact photographic likeness.

• Facial features are painted in my signature style, which may not include hyper-realistic details.

• The final painting is completed after the event, allowing time for refinements and detailing in my studio.

5. Venue & Setup Requirements

• A suitable workspace with adequate lighting and shelter (if outdoors) must be provided.

• For live wedding paintings, the artist requires a suitable proximity to an electrical outlet (if needed for lighting).

• For live illustrations, the artist requires a table and chair for guest interactions.

• The client is responsible for ensuring the venue permits live art services.

⸻

6. Copyright & Usage Rights

• The artist retains full copyright to all artwork created, including live illustrations and wedding paintings.

• The artist reserves the right to photograph and share the artwork for promotional use on social media, website, and marketing materials.

• Clients may display and share their commissioned artwork for personal use but may not reproduce, sell, or use it for commercial purposes without written permission.

7. Additional Charges & Travel Fees

• Events outside of Adelaide may be subject to additional travel fees, which will be quoted at the time of booking.

• If additional time is required beyond the agreed-upon booking, an overtime fee per hour will apply.

• If significant adjustments to the painting are requested after completion, an additional fee may apply, subject to the artist’s availability.

8. Liability & Force Majeure

• The artist is not responsible for unforeseen circumstances that may impact live art creation, such as bad weather, lighting conditions, guest interruptions, or venue restrictions.
