Live Illustration focuses on sketching individual guests—capturing their presence and personality in quick, expressive portraits, usually using ink and watercolor. Each sketch becomes a keepsake they can take home.

Live Painting is a larger canvas work created during the event, often capturing the overall scene—such as the ceremony, reception, or a special moment. It’s meant to be a lasting artwork for the couple or host. However, extra portraits of people or pets can be added upon request.

On average, a single artist illustrates up to 10 guests per hour, with timing depending on the level of detail and whether the portraits are of individuals or couples. For events with a higher guest count, our Duo Package — featuring two artists working simultaneously — provides the perfect solution.

The suggested time frames reflect our experience, allowing every guest to enjoy a thoughtful, personal portrait without any sense of being hurried.

We capture portraits from photos taken on-site, so your guests can fully enjoy the celebration — mingling, laughing, and making memories — while we sketch them effortlessly in the background.

Details and style can always be tailored upon request, perfectly matching the rhythm and timing of your event.
