“The Story of Us.”
A wedding gift no registry can match.
Don’t just turn their photo into a portrait. Send a photo of the couple plus three to five things only they understand — where they met, the dog, the trip that went wrong, the inside joke, the venue — and Sébastien Rieu draws it all into one hand-made ink-and-watercolor scene. A piece of art that could only exist for these two people.
Three to five details. That’s the whole secret.
A caricature of two faces is a nice gift. A caricature where their car is parked outside their venue, their dog is stealing a slice of the cake and the bouquet is the same flowers as the day they met — that’s the gift the whole reception passes around. You give the details; the ink does the rest. You approve the sketch before anything is printed or shipped.

Three ways to give it
The hand-drawn scene as a high-resolution file. Order before noon ET, it’s in your inbox the same evening — print it, frame it, or send the reveal to their phones.
Order the File →The drawing printed on a premium framed canvas, made in the USA, free shipping to all 50 states. Ready to hang the moment they unwrap it.
Order the Canvas →The actual ink-and-watercolor drawing on paper, signed, shipped from France in about 2 weeks — $35 flat, customs included. The heirloom option.
Ask about an original →Many people do both: the print for the wedding day, the original as the keepsake. The present that lands twice.
Before you order
What details should I send for a wedding caricature?
A good photo of the couple, plus three to five personal references: where they met, their pet, a favorite place or trip, an inside joke, the venue or the date. Sébastien works them into the drawing — that’s what turns a portrait into their story.
The wedding is this weekend. Am I too late?
No. Ordered before noon ET, the hand-drawn file is in your inbox the same evening; before 5 PM ET, it lands overnight. Print it at home or at any print shop the next morning.
Is it drawn by a real person, not AI?
Yes — every commission is hand-drawn by Sébastien Rieu, French caricaturist for 25 years, in India ink and watercolor on paper. No AI, no template, at any step. A progress photo of your commission is available on request.
Can we approve it before it’s final?
Yes. After ordering you receive the sketch by email and can request adjustments before the final artwork — nothing is printed or shipped before you approve it.
Does this work as a group gift?
Perfectly. The whole team or family chips in, one person sends the photo and the details, and everyone signs the back of the frame. For group scenes, up to four people can be drawn from $29 to $96.
One drawing. Their whole story.
Send the photo and the five details — the ink does the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions — Wedding Caricature
Is a caricature a good wedding gift for the couple?
A wedding caricature is the gift they’ll actually keep forever. Unlike tableware or gadgets, it’s completely unique, personal and instantly recognisable. Couples love displaying it at home — it becomes a funny and touching memory of the happiest day of their lives.
Can I commission a wedding caricature from the ceremony photo after the event?
Yes, absolutely. Many customers order after the wedding using a professional ceremony photo. It’s a great way to immortalise that specific moment — walking down the aisle, the first dance, or just a close-up of the happy couple on the day.
Can the wedding caricature be used as table decoration or save-the-date cards?
Yes! Many couples order a digital caricature before the wedding to use as the illustration on their save-the-date cards, wedding website banner or table menus. It sets a fun, personalised tone for the whole event.
Can I order a caricature of the whole wedding party?
Yes, group caricatures are possible. Send individual photos of each person to be included and describe the scene you’d like. The more people, the higher the price — contact Sébastien for a group quote.
How early should I order a wedding caricature gift?
Order at least 2 weeks before the wedding date if you want a physical printed product. For a digital file only, 5 business days is sufficient. If you have a specific deadline, contact Sébastien early to ensure availability.
