Live Guest Illustrations by Maisy

I specialise in A6 half-body watercolour and fine-liner portraits, capturing not only your guests’ outfit details, but also their likeness and personality. Each illustration is expressive, elegant, and a meaningful keepsake from your wedding day.

Pet portraits are also available! Because no family member should be left out.

How It Works

I arrive approximately 1 hour before guests to set up and prepare.

I will typically take a quick photo of guests and sketch from that, allowing guests to continue enjoying the celebration while I work. If they prefer, they are also welcome to sit in front of me or provide their own photo.

Each sketch can include up to 7 people in one illustration.

I can complete approximately 7 to 9 guests per hour.

If you would like certain portraits prioritised (for example close family or bridal party), photos can be submitted at least two weeks before the wedding so they can be completed in advance and ready on the day.

I also offer business-card-sized guest portraits. A simple head illustrations created from photos before the wedding. These can be distributed on the day as personalised thank-you keepsakes.
