Last update: January 2025

Hello, my name is Daria. I'm a professional live event illustrator who creates personalised wedding guest portraits. My live sketches offer an unforgettable experience, adding a creative, interactive element to your special day. Each portrait becomes a unique keepsake, giving guests a thoughtful, personalised favour they will cherish long after the celebration.

I take great pride in offering a bespoke, personal approach for every couple, ensuring that my portraits reflect the unique atmosphere and style of your wedding. From elegant, detailed sketches to quick, stylish drawings, I capture the essence of your guests, creating a lasting memory of your day.

Based in the North West, I travel across the UK and Europe, bringing my artistic touch to weddings of all kinds. I have experience working at private and brand events with clients such as Max Mara, Elle UK, and French Connection. If you're looking for a way to elevate your wedding and offer something truly unique, I'd be thrilled to create live portraits that will make your special day even more magical. Let's make your celebration unforgettable (and your friends and family super happy :))

How it works:

After securing your wedding date, we'll work together to customise the experience. We'll decide on the paper tone and create bespoke branding elements that reflect your wedding theme. Once the paper sample is approved, I'll print the personalised paper. I usually use A5 paper size with clear sleeves and envelopes.

On the wedding day, I arrive 30–40 minutes early to set up and ensure everything is ready to start sketching on time. At the venue, I require a table and good lighting. I can sketch guests as they pose or from photographs, allowing them to fully enjoy the event while collecting their portraits later. I'm happy to tailor the setup to suit your celebration, ensuring a seamless and unforgettable experience.

It's lovely to meet you!
