A caricaturist is ideal entertainment for weddings as you and your guests will have a lasting personalised memento of your wedding to treasure for ever. Some of the earliest caricatures are found in the works of Leonardo da Vinci, who actively sought people with deformities to use as models.The point was to offer an impression of the original which was more striking than a portrait. Caricature took a road to its first successes in the closed aristocratic circles of France and Italy, where such portraits could be passed about for mutual enjoyment. (Wikipedia).
