LIVE WEDDING
& EVENT
ILLUSTRATION
Fashion-inspired watercolour portraits, created live for your guests.
An experience for your guests
They arrive as guests.
They leave with a story.
As the celebration unfolds, I sketch guests in a loose, fashion-led watercolour style. Each original portrait is made by hand and becomes a personal keepsake of the day.

Fashion sees
the details.
Illustration keeps them.
I’m a fashion illustrator drawn to the way people move, dress and express themselves. For weddings and events, I bring that eye to the room — noticing a silhouette, a gesture, a detail — and translate it into a hand-painted portrait while the celebration is still happening.

While it unfolds
I sketch guests throughout the event. Setup time is separate and does not reduce the paid illustration hours.
A keepsake to take home
Guests leave with their own original watercolour portrait — a small artwork made just for them.
