Live Guest Illustrations by Maisy

Because no family member should be left out.</p><p><strong><u>How It Works</u></strong></p><p>I arrive approximately 1 hour before guests to set up and prepare.</p><p>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.</p><p>Each sketch can include up to 7 people in one illustration.</p><p>I can complete approximately <strong>7 to 9 guests per hour</strong>.</p><p>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.</p><p>I also offer <strong>business-card-sized guest portraits</strong>.
