Live Guest Illustrations

Live guest illustration creates beautiful keepsakes your guests can take home — more like mini artworks than quick favours. Painted in my signature faceless style, they offer a unique and memorable feature during your wedding day.

Because each illustration is hand-painted during your wedding, guest numbers are approximate and based on experience. I focus on creating meaningful keepsakes rather than rushing through numbers. Each illustration is hand-painted on A6 watercolour paper, and presented in mounts and protective sleeves.

If you’d like to explore additional guest illustrations completed after the wedding, I’m always happy to discuss this.

    FAQs

    Q: How does it work? A: Live illustration is offered on a first-come, first-served basis during your celebration. I focus on creating meaningful keepsakes for each guest I illustrate rather than rushing through numbers. Additional guest illustrations can always be completed in the studio after the wedding if required from £18 per person.

    Q: What does “faceless illustration” mean? A: My illustrations are intentionally faceless, which allows me to focus on posture, clothing, hair, and personality. This way, each piece is recognisable, individual, and timeless, without needing a detailed portrait.

    Q: How many guests can be illustrated? A: Approximate guest numbers depend on the package you choose:

    • Reception Sketch (3 hours): 12–15 guests
    • Celebration Experience (5 hours): 18–22 guests
    • Full Wedding Keepsake (8 hours): 30–35 guests

    The exact number can vary depending on timing, guest flow, and pace.

    Q: Can you do all the guests if I have a large wedding? A: I prioritise quality over quantity. If there are more guests than can be completed live, I can complete additional illustrations in my studio after the wedding at £18 per person, so every guest you love can still receive a hand-painted keepsake.

    Q: What do the illustrations look like? A: All illustrations are hand-painted in watercolour on A6 paper, presented in mounts and protective sleeves. Each one is unique, capturing your guests’ clothing, hairstyles, and posture, in my signature faceless style.

    Q: Do you travel for weddings? A: Yes! I am based in Lossiemouth, Moray, and travel within 60 miles is completely on me, so there are no hidden extras to worry about. For venues a little further afield, any travel costs will always be clearly outlined in your personalised quote before you commit to anything, so you can plan with confidence.

    Q: How do I book you for my wedding? A: You can enquire via my website, Facebook or Instagram.  We’ll discuss the package that best suits your day and confirm details.  A deposit of £125 will secure your date.
