Add a Touch of Magic to your Event with Live Illustration

Live illustration that feels effortless, elegant, and alive in the moment. Think fluid lines, soft watercolour, and a refined fashion edge, capturing your guests in expressive portraits they’ll genuinely love taking home and keeping.

With 18 years as a professional illustrator, alongside a background in event and wedding management and published work in fashion illustration, I bring a calm, steady presence and a seamless creative flow to your day, so everything feels easy and beautifully considered.

Every illustration is created on eco-friendly, handmade cotton rag paper, chosen for its texture, quality, and timeless feel. Because every detail deserves to feel as special as the moment itself.

Here’s how it works…

  • A range of art supplies on a table including watercolour, pencils and inks.

    1. We Take a Quick Photo

    First we’ll ask your guests to pose for a quick snap, which I will then use as the reference for their personal illustration.

  • An artist leans over a table working on a pen illustration

    2. I Start Sketching

    Once the photo of your guest has been taken, I will start working live on a unique illustration, focussing on their outfit for your special occasion.

  • Live event illustrations of guests, including bright Asian wedding outfits, family portraits and green bridesmaids.

    3. Your Guests Collect their Keepsake

    Once your guest’s portrait is complete, it will be displayed ready for them to collect and take home as a keepsake to remember your event forever.
