Let’s Create Lasting Memories




So how do you make your wedding stand out?



Your wedding day is full of moments you will want to hold onto forever.

As Sydney's live wedding illustrator, I create hand drawn guest portraits in real time. Personalised keepsakes your guests take home and treasure for years.

I have illustrated at weddings across Sydney, the Blue Mountains, Hunter Valley, Southern Highlands and beyond. Every portrait captures not just a face but the feeling of being there.

Introducing: Live wedding guest portraits

Arguably the most creative way to tick off guest engagement and truly bespoke wedding keepsakes in one go.

All while giving your guests a talking point for years to come.

Let’s hear from some real couples

"Grace went out of her way to make everyone feel special"

Grace was a lovely addition to our wedding; many guests mentioned Grace as a fun and personal touch. She has minimal requirements so it's very easy to incorporate into different events and venues. It was a pleasure to work with her.

"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

What is live wedding illustration?

Live wedding illustration is a unique form of wedding entertainment where a professional artist creates portraits of your guests or special moments during the celebration. As a Sydney live wedding illustrator, I sketch illustrations during your reception so guests can take home a personalised artwork from your day.


What style are your wedding illustrations?

My illustration style is simple, minimal and fluid. I focus on capturing the outfit and silhouette so guests recognise themselves in the artwork. Each illustration is designed to be a timeless keepsake.

How many guests can you illustrate at a wedding?

The number of guest portraits depends on your package and the length of the reception. On average, a live wedding illustrator can create around 12 to 15 illustrations per hour depending on the level of detail.


Do guests get to keep their illustrations?

Yes. Each guest portrait is created as a personalised keepsake that guests can take home on the night. Many couples love this because it doubles as both wedding entertainment and a meaningful wedding favour.




Can I customise the template? 

Of course! Once we have all the details, we’ll chat about what to include on the illustration template—everything from names and dates to venue information and any special hashtags you might want. Anything is possible, and I can’t wait to help reflect your love story in a beautiful way!



Do we get a wedding couple portrait?

Absolutely and it's actually where I start. As soon as I arrive, one of the first things I do is illustrate the couple together on A4, while the energy is fresh, the excitement is real and the atmosphere of your day is still unfolding around us. I put extra love into this one — it's bigger, more detailed and done entirely in my signature style, so it's something you'll want to frame. 


Can we chat things through first before booking you?

Absolutely! I love getting to know you, so I always recommend jumping on Zoom to ensure we’re the perfect fit and that our ideas align. After all, this is the biggest day of your life, and you want the right one. Planning a wedding is a big deal, and I want you to feel 100% confident in your decision.



How much does a live wedding illustrator cost in Sydney?

Live wedding illustration in Sydney typically ranges from $1,200 to $6,000 depending on the illustrator, hours and package. My packages start from $2,500 and are tailored to your guest count, venue and vision. Reach out and let's have a chat about your day.

How far in advance should we book a live wedding illustrator?

Most couples book their live wedding illustrator 6 to 12 months in advance, especially for popular wedding seasons in Sydney. If your date is coming up soon, feel free to reach out as last minute bookings may still be possible depending on availability.

Where are you based and do you travel for weddings?

I’m based in Sydney and illustrate weddings across NSW and Australia wide, including the Blue Mountains, Hunter Valley, Southern Highlands, Central Coast, Wollongong and destination weddings. Travel can be arranged depending on your event location.

Do you also illustrate corporate events or brand activations?

Yes. In addition to weddings, I also provide live illustration for luxury brand activations, corporate events and private celebrations across Sydney and Australia.
