You won’t forget your wedding day in a hurry
But what about your guests?
As much as you consider your wedding the best of the bunch, yours likely is one of many your guests have been invited to.
They all likely involved food, music, a loved-up couple and speeches.
But how can you stand out from every other wedding they are about to attend?
Introducing: Live wedding guest portraits
Arguably the most creative way to tick off guest engagement and truly bespoke wedding keepsakes in one go.

Let’s hear from some real couples
“Getting Grace was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Highly recommended!”
Some moments of our wedding are hard for me to put into words, but when I look at the illustrations, they capture exactly my feelings. Getting Grace was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Highly recommended!
— Jane
"She went above and beyond"
Grace is unbelievably talented in live illustration. Her unique style on the fashion illustrations initially drew me towards contacting Grace for our wedding, and then I met her and she is so kind, professional and humble! Grace's organisation and communication skills are epic, and the illustrations for our wedding are so elegant! She went above and beyond and I recommend Grace to anyone looking for a personal memento for guests to take home.

"enthusiasm, attention to detail and thoroughness"
Grace is professional, fun and talented! We hired her services for our wedding and she was personable to our guests and her portraits were amazing. She also designed thank you cards and a special artwork of our venue for us. Her enthusiasm, attention to detail and thoroughness made her delightful to work with - and she produced art of very high quality for us and our guests. Your wedding or other special event will be elevated with Grace in attendance.

Frequently asked questions
As your guests approach the station, I’ll take a quick photo so you guests don’t have to wait and can keep enjoying the wedding. The photo is all I need to work off when it comes to bespoke keepsakes for your guests to take home.
As I finish each portrait, I turn them into a pop-up gallery on the table so your guests can take home a unique memento of your celebration at the end of the night.
SADLY, YOU ARE ALREADY BOOKED FOR MY WEDDING DATE. Is it possible for us to collaborate and capture the magic through post-wedding photographs?
Definitely! This is what I always encourage if I am not available. It is a super easy alternative and it will feel as if I was there!
Each portrait takes about 7-10 minutes per couple or 5 minutes per individual, depending on the style.
I recommend full-length, detailed portraits for smaller and more intimate parties. For larger weddings with more guests, I can switch to a more minimal, head and shoulders style.
Absolutely! About half of my weddings each year are gifts or surprises.
Absolutely! I can work with you on a bespoke design that can include a simple initial or something bolder as part of your package.
I’ve drawn everywhere - in gardens, beside dance floors, next to bars and dinner halls. It’s entirely up to you! You know your venue best, so I’ll follow your lead and recommendations.
Absolutely! I always catch up via Zoom to make sure we’re the right fit and our ideas align. This initial chat is where you get to ask any questions you might have. Planning a wedding is a big deal, and I want you to feel 100% confident with your decision.
The reason I don't list full pricing on my website is that every wedding is unique, and I want to ensure that you get a package tailored specifically to your needs. By discussing your requirements and preferences, I can provide you with a personalised quote that accurately reflects the services you desire. Remember, with live wedding illustrations, you're not just investing in bespoke keepsakes; you're also providing live entertainment for your guests.
If you're here researching your options, you'll encounter a range of prices. Depending on factors like market trends, experience, and travel expenses, you can expect to spend anywhere from $1200 to $6000 on live wedding illustrations. My prices start from $2500.
Absolutely! I am available for weddings across Australia and overseas. Please note, all bookings located outside of Sydney will be subject to relative travel expenses (accommodation and transport).
Yes! I embrace all shapes and forms of love and would be honoured to be a part of your special day.
ASAP! Most of my couples typically schedule their weddings 6 to 8 months in advance, and Saturday and Sunday dates are often reserved a year ahead.
