Live Wedding Illustration

Are you looking for a unique and personal experience to delight your wedding guests?

Would you like them to be entertained by a fabulous talking point during those quieter moments on your wedding day, before being gifted the most special of keepsakes? 

As a professional illustrator, a people-person and lover of joyous days, my live illustration packages celebrate your love and the energy of your day in delightful watercolour sketches that you and your guests will treasure.

How does it work?

Your guests pose for a quick photo and are then free to enjoy your happy day. I'll sketch and paint throughout your day, creating a display of illustrations as I go. Your guests can watch me paint, spot their friends and family in illustrated form, and be delighted by the experience of being illustrated!

I can even create you a beautiful keepsake book of all of your guest illustrations, and illustrate additional details from your special day, for you to treasure in years to come.

About Me

I’m Leela, a professional illustrator based in Guisborough, North Yorkshire. I cover the whole of the North East including North Yorkshire, Teesside and County Durham, up to Newcastle and Northumberland.

 

I love the joy of weddings! I found that my artistic style and eye for detail is perfect to capture these happy occasions. My illustrations are inclusive and suit all ages.

 

I’m friendly, reliable and I love to delight both you and your wedding guests with these most special of keepsakes.

 

I draw all your guest portraits individually, by hand and without using templates, so everyone feels seen - and celebrated for their unique beauty!

The keepsake book she created for us, with all the illustrations from the day, is just perfect! Leela is incredibly talented—we would highly recommend her!"
