Live Wedding Guest Portraits: Artist, Robot or Print?

A live artist interprets the guest directly in their medium.

Three different ways to make a portrait.

A live artist interprets the guest directly in their medium. A drawing robot follows prepared paths with a physical pen. A digital portrait or AI filter creates an image that may be displayed or printed. Ask which process and finished item a provider actually offers.

The whole session determines capacity.

Photo capture, artwork preparation, guest approval if offered, pen drawing, paper changes and collection can all take time. A pen-only demonstration is not enough to establish real event throughput.

Count sessions and people separately.

A couple’s portrait may include two people but occupy one longer session. Decide whether the goal is a number of completed drawings or a number of guests represented. Do not assume group portraits fit the same cycle time as individual drawings.

Plan the queue and pickup.

Decide how guests join, whether they must stay nearby and where finished work is collected. Preregistration can help estimate interest, but it does not create capacity or reserve a drawing unless the provider agrees to that process.

Use a measured planning estimate.

The capacity calculator on this site accepts your tested session time, station count and allowance for downtime. Its result is a planning estimate, not a guaranteed Sketchy Robotics production rate. Confirm the actual event scope in writing.
