Live newlyweds painting

A live, hand sketched and painted bespoke artwork of the newlyweds — created as your day unfolds.

NEW SERVICE FOR 2026

This is a portrait-led experience, focused entirely on the couple.
Working in pencil and watercolour, I create a one-of-a-kind piece that captures not just how you look, but how the moment feels: beautiful, connected, and intentional.

Each artwork is designed to live beyond the wedding day, becoming a lasting part of your home.

The Experience

  • Unlike fast-paced guest illustration, this process is slower and more intentional.
    I work quietly throughout the day, allowing the artwork to develop naturally without interruption.

    Guests are welcome to observe, but the focus remains on creating a balanced, refined piece rather than a performance.

  • Before your wedding, we’ll confirm your preferred composition, size, and background style.
    This ensures everything is clear ahead of time, so you can enjoy the day knowing the artwork is in safe hands..

  • Your portrait is worked on throughout the event and completed with careful attention to detail. If any subtle refinements are needed, these are completed post event in the studio.

who is this for?

This is suited to couples who:

  • Appreciate fine art and craftsmanship

  • Prefer a more subtle, refined presence on the day

  • Want a meaningful alternative to traditional keepsakes

  • Are drawn to timeless, portrait-led artwork

The emphasis is always on the couple.
Backgrounds are kept intentionally simple to avoid distraction and to maintain a timeless, elegant finish.
