Live Illustration Wedding Package

Make your celebration unforgettable with our live wedding illustration service. We create fast, stylish portraits of your guests right at your event, giving them a unique keepsake to take home. It is fun, interactive, and brings a lovely artistic touch to the day.

Along with live portraits on the wedding day, this package includes a special keepsake for the couple.
