Weddings - Heart Paper Scissors

My First Celebrity Event in 2013

They were genuinely so gracious and as beautiful inside as they were out.

I didn’t know whose wedding it was until I saw the celebrity guests and then bride and groom!

The venue was as gorgeous as the people!

The sound of helicopters above was my first clue that this would be an unforgettable evening.

When you have a silhouette artist hand cut silhouettes at an event:

Guest signing the pictorial wedding guest book featuring guests’ silhouettes and handwritten best wishes

Two silhouettes are hand cut at once by folding. One goes home with the guest as a lovely souvenir to remember the occasion. The other one goes in the book.

Guests sign their best wishes beside their silhouettes.

Manzanita branches proved to be a fun way to display the guests’ silhouettes for all to see before taking home later.

I am based in Texas but am always willing to travel and often do to events throughout the US and abroad. Contact me for availability and pricing.

I love hand cutting silhouettes at live events. And wedding receptions are the perfect venue for this type of art. I can walk around among the guests, or stay seated behind an elegant campaign desk, or for a little extra, I can even bring my wooden cart with vintage wagon wheels, decorated to look bridal. Since I fold the paper before cutting as standard procedure, there will be two: one for the guest to take home as a lovely memento, and one to go in an album with room for guests to sign well wishes.

I am also able to paint live events. I specialize in watercolor but can do acrylics if preferred. (Oil takes too long for this purpose.)
