"Candy’s work is phenomenal! She is so professional, responsive and talented. We had Candy as a live illustrator at our wedding and she added the best element of surprise and fun to the reception. Our guests absolutely loved her; and one week on we are still receiving messages of ‘wow’ and ‘thanks’ from our guests talking about how special it was to be able to take away a personalised memento of the night. We’d recommend Candy a thousand times over! - Bianca + Rob 2024"

Live Wedding Illustrations: Making your wedding unique and unforgettable


As a live wedding illustrator in Melbourne, I love working closely with brides-to-be, wedding stylists and planners to capture the guests and special moments with live fashion sketches and guest portraits at weddings.



My goal at every wedding is to create an unforgettable experience for YOU and your guests. Live wedding illustration is a unique way to surprise your loved ones with a personalised keepsake they'll treasure forever!



I specialize in capturing your guests and their outfits at weddings in a stylish, fashionable way. Every guest will feel seen and appreciated through my custom illustrations. An innovative way to show your guests how much they mean to you.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

  • SETUP: I often arrive at your venue 30 minutes before your guests' arrival to set up. I will bring all the art supplies, all I need from you is a rectangular table (to beautifully display more sketches), a chair and light refreshments. 
  • STEP 1 - POSE FOR THE PHOTOS: I will invite your guests to pose for photos, which I'll use as references to create their fashion sketches. Once I start drawing, many guests will be excited to get their photos taken, ready for me to create some magic with their fashion sketches!
  • STEP 2 - ENJOY THE PARTY: Guests are welcome to watch while I draw, but they don't need to queue or wait for their portraits. They can continue to enjoy the celebration.
  • STEP 3 - COME BACK LATER FOR THE DRAWING: During the wedding, I will keep painting and turn the table into a pop-up gallery, where guests can check out their own and others' illustrations. This is often the fun part! At the end of the wedding, guests are welcome to take their sketches home.

"I found Candy on instagram and we had her at our wedding at Coombe in the Yarra Valley in February to draw illustrations of our guests. It was such a hit and everyone loved it!! She even sent us a drawing after the wedding too and we will frame it. She was super lovely, easy to communicate with - we would highly recommend her for your special event.
