I worked with Kenny for my wedding. I personally like caricatures, but I was still concerned whether my wedding guests would like it as well. Guess what, everyone loved it!!! They had to wait in line at some point because it got so popular!

Kenny is a great guy! Lots of personality and he captured his subjects in his caricatures. He was willing and flexible in allowing us to keep him an extra hour. Kenny was well worth it! The age group was 7 to 99, all enjoyed him. Thank you so much, Kenny! Terri (photos to come)
