Live Guest Portraits at Weddings: Dubai Winter & French Riviera Summer

Adding live painting to a wedding creates an unforgettable and highly personal experience. I am Tanya Hayek, a French-Lebanese artist based between Dubai and Nice, featured in Vogue UK and The World of Interiors. I specialize in capturing wedding guests in five-minute mixed media portraits, producing unique and whimsical keepsakes that will be treasured long after the celebration. I travel worldwide, offering my live painting services at luxury weddings in Dubai during the winter months, summer celebrations on the French Riviera, and exclusive events across Europe, the Middle East, and beyond.

Why Live Guest Portraits Enhance Weddings

Live guest portraits transform weddings into interactive and memorable experiences. Guests enjoy seeing themselves captured in real time, while couples receive a curated collection of original artworks to commemorate the day. This approach provides elegant entertainment without disrupting the flow of the celebration, elevating the overall experience for every attendee, whether in Dubai, the French Riviera, or anywhere in the world.

Dubai Winter Weddings

Dubai’s winter weddings are often held in indoor luxury venues such as private villas or five-star hotel ballrooms. The warm, elegant interiors provide the perfect backdrop for my live painting sessions. Guests can sit for a five-minute portrait while the celebration continues, creating instant keepsakes that can be displayed during the event and enjoyed afterward. The experience adds a layer of sophistication and intimacy that is highly appreciated in high-end Dubai weddings.

French Riviera Summer Weddings

Summer weddings on the French Riviera are defined by natural light, stunning coastal views, and glamorous outdoor celebrations. My watercolors allows me to capture the vibrant colors, movement, and joyful energy of these weddings. Portraits created in real time become dynamic reflections of the day, giving couples a collection of one-of-a-kind artworks that preserve the atmosphere of their sunlit celebration.

The Live Portrait Experience

The process is simple, engaging, and elegant. Guests sit for a five-minute portrait while I paint them live, using mixed media to produce detailed and expressive works. Each portrait is completed during the event and can be displayed on-site or compiled afterward into a curated collection for the couple. This ensures that every guest becomes part of the art, making the wedding uniquely memorable. Traveling worldwide allows me to bring this personalized experience to luxury weddings anywhere, adapting to each venue and cultural setting while maintaining the same level of artistry and professionalism.

Couples looking to add this unique element to their Dubai winter or French Riviera summer wedding, or to a destination wedding anywhere in the world, can reserve limited slots each season.
