Description
Thank you for your interest!
Live wedding guest illustrations are the perfect combination of entertainment and keepsake, guaranteed to add a touch of elegance to your wedding day and leave an unforgettable impression on your guests. I specialise in A5 stylised watercolour and fine liner illustrations, capturing the unique style and character of each of your guests. Not only do you and your guests receive a custom art piece, you will also receive an unforgettable experience capturing the atmosphere and emotions of your special day.
Alongside your guests, I also offer illustration of your pets and venue, ensuring that every detail of your special day is immortalised in an elegant and timeless keepsake which you will always treasure.
How it Works:
Step 1: Pre-Wedding Consultation
Prior to your wedding we will have a quick online (or in person if you are local) consultation, during which we will discuss your choice of package, preferred art style, and how you would like me to seamlessly integrate with your special day.
If you have any other questions or requests following the consultation, you can message me at any point leading up to the wedding day!
Step 2: Arrival and Set up
I will arrive approximately 1 hour prior to the beginning of the wedding in order to set up. An ideal location for me to be placed would be the main wedding room or reception area to ensure that all the guests can find and access me easily.
Step 3: Live Illustration and Collection
I will take some quick photos of each wedding guest and begin sketching and painting immediately, allowing the guests to freely continue to enjoy the rest of the celebrations. Close family members and the bridal party will be prioritised on the day, however you may request additional priority guests if you wish!
If you have family or friends who are unable to attend the wedding, you can submit a photo of them at least 1 week in advance of the wedding and they can be completed in advance of the day to ensure no one is left out.
Each detailed illustration takes around 15 minutes and can include up to 3 guests. Finished illustrations will be displayed on the table where guests can easily come to view them, and access them at the end of the day.
Step 4: Studio Finishes
Please keep in mind that illustrations for larger wedding parties will not all be completed on the day, instead they will be completed in the studio and shipped to you within 1-2 weeks. This also applied to any illustrations of smaller parties which aren’t finished on the day.
During this time any additional illustrations which you have requested will also be completed and shipped.

Alongside your package options, you also have the choice of 3 different art styles for your illustrations: Standard, Faceless, and Fashion Sketch. The art style does not impact the package prices.

Reviews
5.0 (2)We were looking for a painter for our wedding and we wanted a certain style. We found Mary to be the perfect artist to make our vision come to life. It was amazing seeing the blank canvas slowly come to life in a forever picture of the best day of our lives, everybody at the ceremony was amazed by the quality of the final piece. The finished painting perfectly captured our day and is something we will treasure forever.
