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.
— Cong
"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 live illustration station, I’ll quickly snap a photo and write down their names. This way, they can enjoy the wedding, canapés, drinks, or the reception without waiting around. Once I reach a certain number of guests, I start illustrating based on the photos. When the portraits are finished, I lay them out for everyone to pop over, guess who’s who, and pick up their unique wedding keepsakes 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?
No worries at all! If I'm unavailable, I encourage couples to consider a post-wedding collaboration. Just snap some photos during the wedding and send them to me afterward. I’ll have your custom wedding artwork ready within 10 days, perfect for sending to your guests as thank-you gifts and keepsakes. It’s a super easy alternative that captures the magic, making it feel as if I was there!
Illustrations typically take between 5 and 10 minutes each, depending on the complexity and the number of people I'm illustrating.
Absolutely! Most guests love the experience of live illustration. It’s a unique and memorable addition to your wedding day that creates treasured keepsakes. While some may prefer not to participate, trust me—there are always so many guests asking for more! It’s not just fun; it’s super Instagrammable, too!
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!
You can put me in the spotlight or tucked away in a cozy corner. I’ve drawn in all sorts of locations: gardens, beside dance floors, next to bars, and even in dinner halls. The setup is entirely flexible and depends on your preferences! All I need is a table, a chair, some shade (if it’s outdoors), and access to a power outlet for evening events. Otherwise, I’ll bring everything!
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.
I don’t list full pricing because every wedding is unique—just like your love story! Factors like guest counts, who you want illustrated (the full guest list, first-come-first-served, or your VIP members), and the style of artwork all play a role in creating a custom package tailored specifically to your needs. By discussing your requirements and preferences, I can provide a personalised quote that reflects the services you desire. Remember, with live wedding illustrations, you’re investing in bespoke keepsakes while providing live entertainment for your guests.
If you’re here researching options, you’ll find 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, with my prices starting from $2500.
It’s best to book as early as possible to secure your date! Popular wedding dates tend to fill up quickly, so once you have the date, venue, and approximate numbers, reach out so we can lock everything in. I can’t wait to help share your love story!
Yes! I wholeheartedly embrace all forms of love and would be honoured to be a part of your special day, celebrating your beautiful story with your guests.
It’s a blend of quality, heart, and personality that makes me the perfect choice. With 30 years of doodling behind me, I’ve honed my craft to not just create art but to capture your unique love story. I chose this profession because I genuinely care about celebrating love, and I want to bring that passion to your wedding day.
As a Sydney live illustrator trusted by top brands like Chaumet, Prada, Fendi, Rimowa, and YSL, I combine experience with a bubbly, warm personality that connects deeply with your guests. I don’t just create beautiful keepsakes—I make sure everyone feels engaged, comfortable, and part of something special.
Your guests will take home stunning illustrations, but more than that, they’ll remember how they felt. That personal touch is what creates lasting memories, and together we’ll turn your wedding into an unforgettable experience.
