Maisy painted a truly beautiful painting for me and my wife. When we saw the finished piece it exceeded our expectations and we are both beyond happy with the results. It was like we were reliving our wedding all over again. Thank you so much Maisy for being a part of our day and for painting an incredible piece that we will treasure dearly.

Originally from Hong Kong with background in architecture and years of experience in observational drawing, I’m drawn to creating art that holds emotion, where people can recognise something deeply personal within it. My style blends realistic likeness with expressive brushwork, focusing on all the little details that make your wedding yours. I love getting to know each couple so I can reflect your story, your style and what matters most to you in a timeless piece that feels true to the moment.

The Experience
Description
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 thoughtfully created as a meaningful keepsake, a piece of artwork your guests can treasure and display long after 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.

5.0 (8)I hired Maisy for my Asian wedding and she was amazing so professional and so humble! She does an amazing job and always kept in contact with me during the booking process making sure she captured the right style on the day. My painting was amazing and my family loved it.
My Husband surprised me with a live painter at our south asian wedding and he could not have picked a better artist! Maisy was lovely from the start, very professional, and painted a beautiful memory 💖 Everyone from the wedding complimented her and her artwork. If you are considering an artist, I would highly recommend Maisy. The painting looks stunning, with so many details, especially of my head pieces and lehenga (which are intricate and difficult to pick up on). We cannot thank Maisy enough. It was lovely to meet you Maisy!

Who am I actually booking?
You're booking your artist directly. TheWeddingPainters connects you with independent artists, and once you confirm your booking, your contract sits directly with the artist you've chosen. We handle the booking process and payment on their behalf, so everything stays effortless and in one place from enquiry to wedding day.
Why should I pay through TheWeddingPainters instead of paying my artist directly?
Paying through TheWeddingPainters keeps your deposit and payments secure, your agreement recorded in one place, and our team on hand to step in if anything about the booking needs sorting out.
If you pay your artist privately, by bank transfer or PayPal, outside our system, we lose visibility of that payment and our ability to help. That matters most in the moment you'd need us: if there's a dispute, or your artist doesn't turn up on the day.
Keeping everything on-platform is what lets us actually protect your wedding day, not just process it.
What should I do if my artist asks me to pay them directly (bank transfer, PayPal, etc.)?
TheWeddingPainters is a booking platform – we help you and your artist keep the booking and payments clearly recorded. If payments happen privately, they won't appear in our system and it may limit how much we can assist if anything needs to be checked later.
If you ever feel unsure or pressured, please contact us and we'll take a look.
Will I lose any protection if I pay outside TheWeddingPainters?
If you pay your artist directly (for example by separate bank transfer, PayPal or cash), those payments won't show in your TheWeddingPainters booking record.
That means:
- We can't see what was paid, when, or on what terms
- It can be harder for us to help if there's a disagreement about what was included, what's still owed, or whether a refund is due
For that reason, we strongly recommend keeping all payments for your booking within TheWeddingPainters, where we process payments on your artist's behalf and keep a clear record for both of you.
