I am an award winning Event Fashion Illustrator, and we have been live sketching for 4 years,

I have attended 100's of lovely weddings also events such as Award Ceremonies, Gala's, big birthday Celebrations and draw your guests for the most talked about and remembered favours/gifts.
All guests are always touched by the sentimental element it brings to any special day. Not only is it entertaining to watch but all your guests will be talking and admiring there unique pieces of art.

I originally studied fashion design, but i fell in love with the figure drawing of models and highlighting clothing i had created, as much as I love my art to resemble each guests individual looks, I also like to add the element of fashion to really portray outfits and fantastic bodies, which is so lovely when at events, everyone brings out their best clothes, it truly is a gift that guests will hang proudly on their wall, and a luxury present to gift instead of your usual keepsakes, that often get left behind.

I draw in full colour using the BEST Copic Sketch fashion illustration pens, that leave the ultimate finish, streakless and vibrant.

You will usually see me attend with my sister/content creator who takes the photos of all the lovely people/guests so know one has to stand for a portrait to be drawn which adds another luxury touch, as alot of people want to mingle and not stand waiting.

Due to My sister working with me to capture pictures and talk with guests, it also allows me to draw much faster and guarantee my guest numbers during the wedding/event, or allowing me to be set up in different locations, as all photos get air dropped to me to draw in order or with a priority list of needed.


Each drawing is packaged in waterproof wrap and displayed on my large light up unit (if room allows) for guests to appreciate and show to each other, we often keep them out until the end of our time with you, so you can also have the pleasure of seeing all portraits and having the thrill of seeing who is who, it's such a great talking element for you all, I've had some people keep all the portraits to scan into a book as a keepsake and then send to each couple as a thank you card too.


The maximum package I offer in one day is 8 hours (roughly 60 to 70 guest) but i can also (at a charge) finish remaining guests at home and send direct for bigger parties/weddings


VIP list option: to draw your main guests if you only have a small time frame or if budget doesnt allow the entire party.


An option of adding initials or printing of logos etc also available £80

Wedding illustration

Chan was absolutely brilliant throughout the process, she responds to emails super quickly and is so happy to answer any questions throughout. She was wonderful on the day, Chan and her sister were such a bubbly, smiley presence on the day it was so so lovely to have them there. The illustrations themselves are absolutely spectacular, we gave them to the guests as wedding favours and every one of our guests have said they are the best favours they’ve had! There were so many compliments on the illustrations and how brilliant they were throughout the day and since. We have had multiple friends ask for Chan’s details to book her themselves for their weddings. Absolutely no doubt one of the best decisions we made for our day, not only are the illustrations wonderful I cannot speak highly enough about how lovely and friendly both Chan and her sister are and the energy they bring to your day.

Highly recommend!

We used Illustrations by Chan for our wedding favours and couldn’t have been happier. The illustrations were beautiful, personal and such a lovely touch for our guests — we had so many compliments on the day. Chan was incredibly professional and responsive throughout, and the aftercare was outstanding. When we sadly lost one of the illustrations, Chan kindly redid it for us without any fuss. Truly wonderful service from start to finish! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A wonderful duo and beautiful keepsake

From the beginning Chan was so friendly, kind and passionate about her work and how it would fit in our day. Communication was always easy and responses were fast, we always felt we could ask any questions and we'd be taken care of.

On the big day Chan and her sister were such an incredible duo. One of the first things out of any guests was about how incredible they are. How unique and fun the whole thing was, and then once they recieved their illustration they were so excited to have them forever. Then we recieved our own portrait and it was gorgeous! So many have been framed and put up on the walls already, and we are sure it was one of the best things we booked. Thank you so much for your hard work girls, you are brilliant! xx

Absolutely fantastic!

Illustration by Chan was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Firstly the communication prior to the wedding from booking to the day before was quick and responsive. Then on the day Chan was amazing - the guests loved the illustration, it was a talk of the day and they loved taking the illustrations home. The illustrations themselves were fantastic and we adore the one of the two of us! If you want something luxury, unique and special - I would highly recommend Illustrations by Chan!

The best live illustrations!

I honestly can’t recommend Illustration by Chan enough! Having Chan at our wedding doing live illustrations was one of the best decisions we made, it added such a unique and personal touch to the day. I’ve always wanted our wedding favours to be something meaningful and memorable, something our guests would actually want to keep, and that’s exactly what Chan delivered. Our guests received their own beautiful hand-drawn portrait, created right there on the day, and it was such a joy to watch everyone’s reactions as they saw themselves brought to life on paper.

Our framed illustration looks so lovely in our house, it’s such a special reminder of the day. Several of our friends and family have also sent us photos of their illustrations proudly displayed in their homes, which just shows how much they loved them too!

Beyond being incredibly talented, the whole Illustration by Chan team were an absolute delight to work with from start to finish. Communication was great - super responsive, friendly, and accommodating throughout the planning process. On the wedding day itself, they were so warm and engaging with all of our guests, creating such a fun and relaxed atmosphere around their setup. Everyone was so impressed by both the artistry and the experience.

If you’re looking for a wedding favour or entertainment idea that’s personal, creative, and genuinely memorable, I couldn’t recommend Illustration by Chan more highly. They truly went above and beyond, and we’ll cherish our illustration forever!

An absolute must for your wedding!

We are so so glad we chose Illustration by Chan for our wedding. Chantel and Alana were super friendly on our wedding day! They got on so well with all of our guests and were so much fun to have there.
The illustrations were insane!! You could tell exactly who the guests were on every illustration - they were all so alike, what a talent. We gave our guests their illustrations as a gift favour and loads of our guests commented on how lovely a favour it was. It was a great talking point with our guests on the day too.
Communication before and after the wedding was speedy, and Chantel even drew us an unexpected illustration of our dog Luna who was there on the day. Such a lovely surprise, we'll treasure our illustrations forever. Thank you Chantel and Alana x
If you're considering choosing Illustrations by Chan for your wedding - do it, you won't regret it!

Incredible! Unique! Beautiful! Talented!

Wow! We were truly blown away by Chan and her sister at our wedding in October 2025! Both Chan and her sister were delightful and such a joy to have at our wedding and the guests LOVED their drawings! We will cherish our framed portrait for years to come! Chan's communication was excellent and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out! A huge thank you!

Showstopper of the day

This was one of the most talked about parts of our wedding day. Communication was great and it was such an easy process. On the day Chan and her sister worked so well with the rest of the wedding team. There were last minute changes due to rain but they went with it and the change was seamless. We had a large number of guests but picked a package that meant they were all finished off after the wedding day meaning no one got left out. So grateful and so happy to reccommend such a great business.

Amazing, amazing, amazing

Chantel was without a doubt the highlight of the wedding! Right from booking her, Chantel was kind and impressively organised. The whole process was faultless and walking in to our wedding and seeing her already hard at work and the AMAZING illustrations was magical. Our guests were in awe of her and her skills but she is also the most lovely and beautiful person you’ll meet! Without a doubt, book Chantel for your wedding. You will not regret it and have the most gorgeous memories for ever more!

Words can’t express how AMAZING Chan and Alana are

Wow, I cannot express how incredible Illustration by Chan (Chan and Alana) were. They travelled a long way to be a part of our special day and we are so grateful that they did. Even when I arrived at the venue, they were cheering me on before I was walked down the aisle 🥹 every single person I spoke to who got their illustrations done are framing them and putting them up at home, and everyone LOVED them, them being the illustrations and Chan and Alana, who are genuinely some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. Communication before, during and after has been second to none. If you’re debating having them at your wedding then just do it is all I can say!! We will treasure our illustration always.

The best addition to any wedding

Obsessed! Just absolutely love you girls, and everyone did at our wedding at Old Gore Barn. We loved being able to offer our guests a wedding favour that they’re actually buzzing to take home and frame on their walls! Seamless communication from start to finish and a real asset to the day! Truly so talented! Thank you so much ladies! Xxx

Just amazing

From coming across Chantel’s illustrations on Instagram and falling in love with the “order of the day” that she had drawn. I had to message and enquire for her to come to our wedding. Chantel kindly offered to travel up from Bristol and was so helpful in the booking process. She shared her excitement and enthusiasm and I felt like I’d known her for years. Everytime we messaged, it got me more and more excited for our day. To make things easier, Chantel said she would bring the order of the day up with her and arranged to put it in a frame. One thing less to worry about. Chantel explained the full process of the day and the role of her sister - what a pleasure it was to meet her too.
Whilst waiting to walk down the aisle, the girls were outside the ceremony room with smiles of encouragement and kind words. Throughout the day, guests shared how much they loved their illustrations and what a special keepsake it was. The responses and reactions from our guests were priceless. As I walked over to Chantel and her sister, I could name everyone who she had drawn - what a talent!!! They fit perfectly into the day and were the perfect addition. If you were ever contemplating booking then - DO IT!!!!
As they were leaving, I walked over to the table where there was a special illustration of me and my husband waiting as a surprise! Thank you again girls xxxx

Wedding Live Illustration

I stumbled across Chan on instagram and decided to use her illustrations as bridesmaid proposal gifts. I absolutely loved her work and decided this was a MUST for my wedding and booked the live illustration package.

On the lead up to the wedding, Chan was always available to answer any random questions I had and happy to help with anything.

Chan and her sister Alana are the most loveliest people ever and it was a pleasure to have them at our wedding and to finally meet the mastermind behind the drawings in person!! Our guests cannot stop raving about the illustrations and I am so happy we chose this for our wedding.

Thank you Chan and Alana - you are one of the highlights from our day!

Thank you!

Having Chan live illustrate at our wedding was a highlight for us and our guests! Chan and Alana are not just talented and professional but also lots of fun to have at your wedding day and we noticed our guests loved chatting to them almost as much as they loved their illustrations!

From the moment we made the first enquiry Chan was fantastic! We couldn't recommend her enough - it's so special to us that so many of our guests will cherish their illustrations for years to come and be reminded of our wedding day!

One of our friends messaged us the day after our wedding BEFORE LUNCH?! and had already framed their illustration and displayed it in their home! Which is a testament to how much guests loved their illustrations!

We managed to keep the live illustration a surprise from all our guests, even our parents, which made it all the more special!

Chan kindly helped to create an illustration as a surprise for one of our guests whose husband was unfortunately not well and had to move to a nursing home very close to our wedding date - we sneakily sent Chan a photo of him and managed to snap one of his wife on the day so Chan could create an illustration for her! This was so special and meant more to all of us than words can express, it was really emotional gifting this illustration on the day.

Not only did Chan and Alana work tirelessly all day on the illustrations (not even taking a proper break to eat their meals!) they captured some very special photos and videos we will also treasure for ever!

Thank you isn't enough.

5 star service from start to finish! If you're reading this review you NEED to book Illustration By Chan for your big day - you won't regret it!

Thank you both - Alice & Dave 31.05.25
