Wedding designer, the laic ceremony
As a wedding designer, I capture key moments. My drawings highlight the places, guests, anecdotes, atmospheres, good words, floral decorations and even the dishes of your wedding. I tell your wedding in drawings, adding a friendly, original and artistic note.

When the guests ask me what I'm doing, I show them that I'm doing the same work as the photographer and videographer but I add a narrative dimension. With the advantage of seeing instant results already in the evening and during brunch the next day..

Drawn report

The drawings are made in high-quality ink with a touch of watercolour or on iPad (printing of possible drawings and projection). Paris, Picardie, Haute-Savoie, Sarthe, Brittany, Lorraine, Provence, Occitanie, Pays de la Loire, etc. I travel all over France and Belgium (in the vicinity of the TGV station in Brussels).

So, a wide range of creative solutions on paper and digital to make your wedding. With the possibility of black and white, pencil or watercolor illustrations. I also do them digitally on an iPad and digitize the drawings on paper. During a virtual interview via Zoom, WhatsApp or Teams, we discuss your wishes and ideas.

« Creativity, accuracy, sincerity, humour. Vincent Rif touched us in the heart by tracing our wedding day as never we could have imagined. Having the eye of this discreet and touching character makes a unique memory that has gone far beyond our expectations, yet raised!

We don't know what to say to describe what we felt by flicking his sketches the next day so unique.

From the bottom of the heart, thank Vincent for sublimating this day in your way, for our greatest pleasure and that of all our guests who know how to enjoy this « small something » Plus! »

Not just drawings

In the end, I leave the original drawings on site for guests to look at and discuss. But also for the guests of the brunch of the day after the wedding relive the great moments of the wedding or missed anecdotes.

Back in my workshop in Brussels, I add a touch of color on the scans. I correct one or the other line without removing emotion from the live drawing. J-y adds names, details, etc. Then, I send by email these retouched drawings in high definition for sharing on social networks, integration into a photo album, impression of goodies of thanks (booklet, calendars, cups, etc.). Original designs can be offered to guests.

Why not print a set of twelve postcards of the best drawings and send them as thanks? Why not make it a Facebook post? Or use portraits as avatars, etc. The possibilities of use are endless.

I can also create a web page with all drawings accessible only by code to share drawings easily with family, absent and guests.

Always according to your wishes

Before the big day, we discuss in visio. I ask you your ideas and wishes to create drawings that best match your expectations and wishes.

Once the drawings are made, I will enhance them with a touch of watercolour to give them an artistic touch and I will add the names of the people represented.

You can frame these original designs or offer them to your loved ones as unique gifts.

Unique moments captured in drawing

During your wedding, I capture unique moments and anecdotes with stylized and classic illustrations. As a visual and auditory witness, I trace the right words, the fun situations and the striking details. As for example, the choir children playing with the decoration gravillons, a parish priest reporting a mistake to the brides, water glasses offered under a beating rain, the dreams, the bouquet throw of the bride, the ritual of glass break, the music of champagne bottles, the orchestra formed by friends and witnesses, a Mexican dance with real Mexican musicians... All these lived stories immortalize in my drawings. With a touch of originality and humour by immortalizing a very special day.

These drawings can be edited as postcards to thank guests and their gifts.

Live drawing exhibition

The drawings made on thick art paper are hung on a wire in a passageway with a string and garland of LED lamps. This is a live exhibition and a reminder of the facts of the day. It's also very fun to go see « new drawings ».

Below is a photo of the live exhibition of the drawings. A wire was stretched between the trees of the castle.

If the place does not allow to hang a thread (security, anticipation of the place, etc.), guests can consult a widely open portfolio is placed on a table.
