Nice to meet you! I'm Candy Ng, a Melbourne live illustrator. I have been a luxury live event artist for brands since 2018 and decided to bring this exclusive fun experience to wedding since 2023. My style is refined fashion illustration with detailed facial features. My work blends live illustration and live performance to create an unforgettable experience for your guests and timeless keepsakes they’ll treasure forever.
trusted by over 35 Luxury brands and countless stylish couples
I’ve illustrated for Chanel, Prada, Dior, Burberry, YSL, Balenciaga, Chaumet, Montblanc and Qantas, and since 2023 I'm bringing the same quality of work to your wedding. I'm currently a preferred wedding supplier at Hotel Windsor & Mitchelton Wines
Your guests will remember the emotion.
The feeling of being seen.
being loved.
Live wedding sketch is
a love letter to your celebration.
Why Live Wedding Illustration?
Because the people you love showed up, dressed up, and made your day extraordinary.
Because art says thank you in a way words never can.
Because a photo fades into a phone gallery...
but a fashion sketch lives on as a frame worthy memory.
As your live wedding illustrator, I create stylish fashion portraits of your guests in real time, capturing the essence of your celebration through elegant linework, detail, and charm. It’s an immersive, highly shareable experience that elevates your special day instantly.

The Experience
Here is how it works on the day
01
ELEGANT SET-UP:
I bring a colourful yet elegant setup that blends beautifully with your styling. I will bring all the art supplies and signage, all I need from you is a rectangular table (to display more sketches) and a chair.
02
STEP 1 - POSE FOR A PHOTO:
I sketch from photos taken on the day. I will invite your guests to pose for photos 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!
03
STEP 2 - ART BECAME ENTERTAINMENT:
As I continue to draw, your guests watch the magic happen. Finished sketches are displayed on the table for guests to discover throughout the night, like a rotating mini-exhibition.
04
STEP 3 - PICK UP THEIR PERSONALISED KEEPSAKE:
Each sketch is package professionally in a clear sleeve or white envelope, featuring your wedding logo or date, ready to be taken home as a gift.

Your Aesthetic
PICK YOUR STYLE
Style 1 - Full Body - Focus more on guests' outfit - Fashion-forward sketches. Chic, editorial and elegant
Style 2 - Half Body - Focus more on guests' facial features. Elegant, focusing on personal charm
You can choose one style or a mix of both.
It’s entirely up to your aesthetic.
