Live Wedding Illustration

Live wedding illustration is exactly what it sounds like - I illustrate your guests during your wedding and print each one on the day for them to take home as a keepsake.

It works as both entertainment and favour. Something guests enjoy watching happen, and something they leave with (and actually keep).

Everything runs quietly in the background, without needing managing or scheduling.

Availability

I take on a limited number of weddings (and only one per weekend) so dates fill up quickly. You can check my current availability here.

How it Works

On the day, I’ll be set up with my iPad and printer in a spot that’s unobtrusive but visible - so guests can see what’s happening without it getting in the way.

Guests come over for a quick reference photo whenever it suits them, and I illustrate live throughout the day.

Each illustration is:

  • drawn digitally on my iPad

  • printed and packaged

  • ready for guests to take home on the day

After the wedding, you’ll also receive digital copies of all completed illustrations.

The main requirement is access to a power outlet. Other than that, everything runs quietly and fits naturally into the flow of the day.

The perfect blend of personalised wedding favours and unique wedding entertainment!

Every package includes:

  • Live illustration during your wedding

Choosing the right option

Guest numbers are a guide rather than a strict rule - portraits can include couples or small groups, which often allows for more flexible coverage.

If you’re unsure which package suits your day best, I’m always happy to talk it through and help you decide.
