WHAT IS A LIVE SUNSHINE PORTRAIT?

Guests can take it in turn to sit and have a quick watercolour portrait, individually or in a group, as part of your special day. The experience not only provides the perfect alternative entertainment but also unique wedding favours. WIN-WIN!

HOW LONG DOES EACH SUNSHINE PORTRAIT TAKE?

On average an individual portrait takes 5-10 minutes (approx 10-12 portraits per hour) Please bear in mind that couple's and group portraits will take longer.

WHERE IS HELLO SUNSHINE BASED?

Sunny Cambridge but I am willing to travel anywhere in the world. Additional travel costs will apply so please get in touch for accurate quotes.

how much space do you need?

As long as I have space for a small table and chair as well as a few extra chairs or bench for guests to sit on, I can set up anywhere! I can fit in and around your venue as you need; I’ve painted in bar areas, drawing rooms, conservatories and even outside on sunny days.

If you book Buddy the Sunshine Van we will need access and enough space for him too - a 5 x 5 meter pitch would be ideal.

Can you bring your own table and chairs?

Sure thing! Depending on your venue size and space allocated, I can bring along a chair, small table or pop up stand with 2 stools for guests.

HOW LONG CAN JO DRAW + PAINT FOR?

Bookings don’t usually last longer than 2 hours. If you wish to discuss longer bookings please do get in touch with timings though and we can have a chat.

can guests go inside the campervan set up?

Buddy is our home from home so we only allow the Bride + Groom inside him for 20 minutes with their photographer. The set up does allows for guest to sit under his cheerful awning if the weather turns against us though.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

  • PORTRAIT PACKAGE ONE, from £350 - 2 hours

  • SUNSHINE VAN PACKAGE, from £550 - 2 hours (currently unavailable)

  • CORPORATE HIRE - Please get in touch for to build the perfect Portrait Package for your event
