Celebration,

In June of this summer, I had been back in my office in Provence for a few weeks and I received a call from an events company.

“Would you be available to do live sketching during the wedding of one of our clients in Monaco? It is a very exclusive wedding, the cocktail and the dinner will take place in exceptional places “.

In short, when a client asks me to come to Monaco to work during two ultra-private evenings… well, I can suddenly feel my heart beating a little faster!

For it was two days of pleasure. The guests were lovely and the organization was incredible.

The first evening took place at the Monte-Carlo Bay.

A cocktail party was held in the garden with a view of the Mediterranean. The dress code was simple and chic.

Like every time, at the beginning of this kind of event, the guests are a bit shy and it’s up to me to relax them so that they feel comfortable posing in front of me. Once the first guest discovers their portrait, a queue of about ten people soon forms in front of me!

To avoid making them wait, I take pictures of them and sketch them. So they can enjoy the evening. That evening, I was spoiled! Elegance was the order of the day with long floral dresses, plum-colored satin jumpsuits, designer bags or elegant tuxedos.

The second evening took place at the Riva Aquarama Lounge of the Yacht Club de Monaco. I was talking about exception…

The guests wore wreaths that a floral artist offered them. The restaurant was filled with white roses, the yachts were sleeping peacefully in the harbor… It was magical.

I have done about 50 sketches, from a one-year-old baby to a seventy-year-old guest.

I keep an incredible memory of these two days… of work… and I thank Life Plus Event for its professionalism, its welcome, and its taste for perfection. And of course I hope to do it again soon!
