What is live
illustration?
A unique form of entertainment for your big day!
Live wedding illustration is a unique form of wedding entertainment where I create hand-drawn portraits of your guests live during the celebration. As a live wedding illustrator based in the UK, I sketch guests from the drinks reception through to the evening, giving them a personalised keepsake to take home and remember your day by.
the perfect wedding favour!
is live illustration for you?
Yes, if you want unique interactive entertainment
Watching me sketch portraits during your drinks reception quickly becomes a talking point, with guests gathering to see the illustrations come to life.
Each guest receives a one-of-a-kind illustration to take home, a keepsake that feels far more special than a traditional wedding favour.
Yes, if you love meaningful, personalised details
Guests love returning throughout the evening to spot their portraits and watch the collection of illustrations grow, and getting to leave with their hand-drawn illustration at the end of the evening.
Yes, if you want your guests to remember your wedding
How it works

I arrive at your venue 30 minutes before your guests are due to arrive, so I can get set up.
2. Guests are photographed
I start taking photos of your guests as they are arriving, so they can enjoy the day while I draw.
3. I get to work!
Guests can watch the illustrations come to life!
4. Guests collect their portraits
Your guests leaves with a personalised keepsake from your wedding.

Frequently asked questions
-
The number refers to guests rather than illustrations. For example, if I draw a couple together, that counts as two guests from your total.
I prefer to focus on creating beautiful, detailed portraits rather than rushing through as many drawings as possible.
-
If your guest list is larger than the number included in your package, additional portraits can be completed after the wedding using the reference photos taken on the day.
These are £10 per additional illustration.
-
The number of guests per package is based on me completing as many illustrations as I can on the day, with the remainder completed after the day in my studio.
These will then be posted to you!

Yes, ABSOLUTELTY. The more dogs the merrier!
-
I am based in Nottinghamshire, England, and travel an hour from here free of charge. Further than this I charge 50p per mile.
For bookings outside of the East Midlands I require a full day booking.
-
All I need is a sturdy, desk-height table (large enough to fit my equipment) and a chair. We can discuss this further during our initial conversation on booking.
I don’t need access to any plug sockets and I’ll bring the rest!
Over the past few years, I have had the pleasure of illustrating at over 100 venues. Here are a few of my favourites…
