WEDDING ILLUSTRATION | LIVE GUEST PORTRAITS | BRIDAL FASHION SKETCHES | TIMELESS KEEPSAKES
Luxury Live Wedding Illustrator | Melbourne
(Brand activations and corporate events, please see here)
Curated live art experiences for couples who adore beauty, detail and unforgettable guest memories.
I'm Candy Ng, a Melbourne-based luxury live wedding and event fashion illustrator trusted by over 30 luxury brands and countless stylish couples. My work blends fashion illustration and live performance to create an unforgettable experience for your guests and timeless keepsakes they’ll treasure forever.
Your guests will remember the emotion.
The glamour.
The feeling of being seen.
My sketches aren’t just a drawing...
they’re 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.

Here is how it works on the day
-
I arrive early to set the scene: 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 beautifully display more sketches) and a chair.
-
STEP 1 - Your guests get sketched in fashion-style: I sketch from photos taken on the day. 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 - Art becomes 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. It's a beautiful moment of pause and connection.
-
STEP 3 - Guests go home with a keepsake: Each sketch is packed in a clear sleeve or white envelope, featuring your wedding logo or date, ready to be taken home as a one-of-a-kind gift.

Love Notes from Couples
"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"
"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. - Frankie + Tuan 2024”
