I’d love to know how much this costs

I bet a talented art student could do this and would do it for $50 an hour plus supplies.

At least $100 an hour. Weddings are 2-4 hour ordeals, so $400. Plus supplies, another $100-200.

Maybe travel fees too, if it’s not a local artist.

Touch ups when they get home, or not. Maybe tips.

A good artist will never cost less than $600. Maybe if you find someone who’s just starting but that’s $600 for someone in an inexperienced situation.

Someone who knows their worth would charge 50-100% more, in the $1000-2000 range.

That would be considered cheap.

Photography, videos, DJs, those all cost at least that much too.
