About

I'm Michaela - your very own illustrator. My Own Illustrator is a Live Wedding Guest Illustration service, offering the perfect wedding favour that your guests will treasure forever.

Guests simply approach me for a photograph on your big day. They can then go off and enjoy the celebrations while I create them their own bespoke illustration, capturing their unique personalities and fabulous outfits. They can then come back to my gallery later on to collect their masterpiece - a truly unique wedding favour that won't be left behind.

Live illustration also doubles up as entertainment for your guests. They love to watch the process and their reactions to their portraits.

Couples can also choose to receive detailed illustrations of the cake, value and happy couple after the wedding, to capture every element of the most special day of their lives.

I offer three packages - Bronze, Silver and Gold - to suit different event sizes and budgets.

The Gold Package includes:

  • 7 hours of live guest illustration (approx. 42-56 guests)
  • A5 cake illustration, A5 venue illustration and A4 illustration of the happy couple (to be received up to 6 weeks after the wedding)

The Silver Package includes:

  • 5 hours of live guest illustration (approx. 30-40 guests)
  • A5 illustrations of the cake and venue

The Bronze Package includes:

  • 3 hours of live guest illustration (approx. 18-24 guests).
  • A5 illustration of the cake or venue

With a degree in Fine Art and years of events experience, I have always wanted to do a creative job for a living and that is now a reality. I work closely with my couples to give them the most unique and memorable experience. I offer an end-to-end wedding service, where couples can incorporate creativity into their wedding from their save the dates right up to thank you cards after the event.

If I'm not available on your wedding date, I can offer illustrated place cards - a fun and interactive way for your guests to find their seat and take home as a wedding favour. I also can created illustrations of special locations or memories to use as table name cards.

If you want anything bespoke, just get in touch!

The best!

THE BEST! Michaela is talented, kind and very attentive. You can tell she is passionate about her work. From start to finish the correspondence with Michaela was fast and effective. Michaela was a truly amazing addition to our wedding day as we gave the illustrations as our wedding favours and they were loved by all. I would highly recommend Michaela to anyone considering a live illustrator. Many thanks again x

Book immediately!

Michaela was everything and MORE than we ever could have wished for on our wedding day. Not only is she incredibly talented, she’s funny and so kind and so quick to respond to messages. Michaela surprised us on our wedding day with a drawing of our dog Mango (obsessed!!) and she also sketched me at my Paris hen do which was above and beyond what we asked of her. If you’re considering a live illustrator, DO IT. Thank you Michaela, you are incredible xx

Eastington Park - 01/03/25 - GOLD PACKAGE

We booked the Gold package with Michaela - My Own Illustrator for our wedding on the 1st March 2025. Before the day there was great communication to ensure she had all the information necessary for it to run smoothly.
On the day she snuck into our venue and set up with no fuss and began to illustrate our wedding guests. The speed and quality at which she illustrated our guest was amazing and was a real talking point. Michaela and her partner, who also came to assist were very friendly and so easy to talk to. We have just received our final pieces including the couples portrait, cake and venue. I cannot express how happy I am with them. The detail is so outstanding and it perfectly captures those parts of our day. Even my husband green velvet jacket looks like true velvet. Such a perfect keepsake that will be framed and put on our wall. BOOK MICHAELA TO LIVE ILLUSTRATE YOUR BIG DAY, you will not be disappointed.

SO glad we booked my own illustrator

Michaela was amazing at every step of the way. So great to work with in the run up to the wedding. My guests were swarming her at one point because they were so excited to be illustrated. Every guest got an amazing keep sake from our wedding. Perfect as an alternative to traditional wedding favours!
