I heard
you’re getting
married…?
PSSST…
For the intimate, heartfelt gatherings where every guest matters… and the big, joy-filled parties where entertainment is everything.
Live Illustration brings connection, surprise, and a keepsake your guests will treasure long after the last dance.
Take a look around at my services:
-
These are the kind I specialise in!
Every wedding is beautiful – but I’ve found there’s something really special about the smaller, slower ones. The ones where the guest list is tight-knit, where every face is familiar, and where the whole day feels like a gathering of love.
Whether you’re planning a heartfelt ceremony with 15 of your favourite people in a cosy garden, or a candlelit dinner under the stars with 40 guests… my service is about turning your people into the ultimate keepsake.
Because an intimate wedding isn’t about doing less – it’s about treasuring more. More connection. More meaning. More of what really matters.
👉 If that sounds like your kind of wedding day, let’s create the keepsake it deserves. I specialise in these kinds of celebrations!
-
Big weddings mean big energy – and my service adds to that beautiful buzz.
Throughout the day, I create a series of individual guest portraits. Guests love watching the process (and spotting each other on the easel!) – it’s entertainment, a talking point, and a little bit of magic unfolding live.
Those who are painted get to take home a unique keepsake from your wedding, while you get the joy of knowing your celebration gave your guests something unforgettable.
If you want live entertainment with a sentimental twist – and keepsakes your guests will treasure – then this sure is the package for you!
-
Not just for weddings – my work brings a touch of magic to all kinds of celebrations.
From milestone birthdays and anniversaries to baby showers, galas, and corporate events, live guest portraits are always a hit. They’re entertainment on the day (everyone loves seeing the artwork take shape!) and a keepsake your guests can take home – something far more meaningful than a party favour.
Planning a special celebration? Let’s make it unforgettable!

It’s More Than Just a Portrait
These are the moments that get me every time.
Tears… laughter… that stunned little pause when they see themselves on paper.
Live Illustration isn’t just about painting; it’s about feeling seen.
Here’s a peek at the kind of magic that happens when it all comes to life.
Live Illustration for Weddings & Events
How It Works
✓ I arrive before the ceremony
Just in time to snap some sweet guest photos while they’re looking fab
✓ Then I paint in the background
Each guest gets their own little portrait in about 5–8 minutes (per person)
✓ No sitting still required!
I work from reference photos, so your guests can keep having a jolly good time.
✓ Every portrait is wrapped with care
Neatly packed keepsakes ready to go home with them.
NOW IMAGINE…
It’s YOUR wedding day… the laughter, the tears, the people who matter most. My job is to turn all that into a keepsake you’ll never want to let go of.
While the music’s playing and glasses are clinking, I’m there painting your guests in real-time (yep – less than 10 minutes each).
It’s the kind of entertainment people can’t stop talking about – the crowd is gathered around… the thrill as portraits are revealed… the buzz of seeing art unfold right in front of them!
And the best part? Your guests don’t just go home with memories… they leave with a one-of-a-kind keepsake from your wedding. The most unforgettable favour they’ll ever get.

Well, aren’t you a peach!
The moment you hit “Send” your enquiry will head over to my inbox wearing its Sunday best. Here’s how it’ll go from there:
You relax – perhaps with a biscuit or two.
I’ll read your note with the care of a 1950s switchboard operator plugging in a very important call.
Within 48 hours (often sooner if I’m not mid-paint), you’ll have a reply from my team with all the details you need.
And if my reply decides to play hide-and-seek, check your spam folder! My emails occasionally wander off like teenagers at a sock hop.
Pop the kettle on, let’s answer some Questions!
-
Yes, I have a 4-hour minimum booking to ensure that I provide the best possible service to you and your guests.
However, if you are having a small intimate gathering/event I am able to reduce my minimum hours to accomodate. Just reach out and we can work something out!
-
Only a 5-8 minutes per person! Which means I can create a beautiful flow of portraits throughout the day while your guests enjoy watching it unfold.
-
Yes! Whilst I can’t paint everyone at larger weddings, the entertainment value is huge — people gather around, watch, and talk about it for weeks afterwards.
I also offer a handful of spots per year to enable couples to prebook space in my creative calendar to get more guests painted in my studio. (Please note that the turnaround for this service is over 2 months and is dependant on my current projects and workload)
-
Every booking includes pre-event planning, on-the-day live illustration, and guest keepsakes.
You can also add premium options like The Guestbook Edition (guest portraits + interviews), or post-event illustrations such as:
Bridal Bouquet portraits
Venue Portraits
Thank you card designs
If you have anything specific in mind that you think will suit my style, just reach out! I’d love to hear your ideas!
-
Simply send me an enquiry and, if your date is available, I’ll send over a booking form and deposit details. Once it’s locked in, that date is yours! WOOHOO!
(I only take on a limited number each month so don’t wait too long!)
-
Couples who love details that feel personal, creative, and unforgettable. If you’re the type to save cinema tickets in shoeboxes, press flowers in books, and want your wedding to feel warm, memorable, and a little different — this is for you.
-
As soon as you know your date. I take on a limited number of weddings each year, and once a date is gone, it’s gone.
Most couples book me right after securing their venue so they don’t miss out. (Hurry, hurry, hurry!)
-
I arrive with my paints and create watercolour portraits of your guests, LIVE as your wedding unfolds. It’s part super unique entertainment (perfect for cocktail hour, and filling in the gaps throughout the day), and part heirloom-making — and your guests get to take their artwork home the very same day!
-
If you’re sentimental, love the idea of a wedding that feels personal and unforgettable, and want guests to rave about your day long after, this is for you.
If you’d rather stick to chair covers and sugared almonds, it’s probably not.
-
Not at all! All I need is a small table, two chairs, and good lighting if possible (though I do also bring my own lighting).
It’s simple and unobtrusive — no bulky equipment or noise.
-
Yes! I’m based in Busselton/Margaret River, but happily travel across Western Australia and will be travelling to Europe in 2027 (April-June).
Travel fees are tailored to the location of your wedding — just let me know your location when you enquire.
-
I sure do!
I know how stressful it can be to plan a day all about celebrating what makes life delicious. So to make things easier on your budget I offer 6-month payment plans… it’s super easy!
Just let me know if that’s what you would like when you enquire and I can set it all up for you.
A moment painted, a memory kept…
Shall we make it official?
For the ones who couldn’t be there…
Your guest list might be missing a few beloved faces, but your memories don’t have to.
So if there’s someone you wish could be at your wedding but can’t, I can help you honour them in a beautiful, personal way.
My “In Memory Of” service creates a keepsake to celebrate their life and love — so their presence is felt as you say “I do.”
