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.

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.

Reviews
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!

About the Artist
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.
