A Little Portrait, A Lot of Joy

A Little Portrait,
A Lot of Joy

Live illustration

Live illustration adds something really special to your wedding day. Combining a unique blend of entertainment and thoughtful gifts, it’s a lovely way to capture the people you love and make your celebration even more memorable. Guests pop by for a quick photo, then carry on enjoying the day while I bring their portraits to life in my playful, storybook inspired style. By the end, they’ll leave with a beautiful, hand painted illustration to remember your day.

My illustrations are inspired by the charm and character of artists like Quentin Blake and Nick Sharratt… playful and whimsical! I love capturing your guests as if they’ve stepped straight out of a storybook, full of joy, colour, and personality.  After the wedding, I bring all the sketches together into a digital storybook for you to keep and look back on, which gives you a lasting memory after your guests take their physical artworks home.

The Process

How does it work?

1.

Set Up

All I need on the day is a table and chair where I can set up my workspace with paper, paints and everything ready to go.

2.

On the Day

Guests pop over for a quick reference photo, then head back to the fun while I work live, carefully illustrating each portrait throughout the event.

3.

The Illustrations

Each portrait is hand-painted on beautiful 300gsm watercolour paper and displayed for everyone to enjoy, adding a unique and interactive touch.

4.

Take it Home

At the end of the event, guests take home their own personal keepsake – a thoughtful reminder of the day and their part in it.
