About

Add a touch of timeless elegance and unforgettable charm to your special day with live wedding illustrations. As a former fashion illustrator, I bring a refined, classic style to each sketch—capturing your guests with grace and style.

Each portrait is created using professional-grade watercolours on 300gsm acid-free cotton paper, ensuring your keepsakes remain vibrant and beautiful for years to come. This unique form of entertainment not only delights your guests in the moment but also leaves them with a cherished memento they'll treasure forever.

In addition to live guest portraits, I also offer detailed bespoke illustrations for the couple—a beautiful way to capture the essence of your day.

Packages start from £400 for 3–4 hours of live sketching. For those looking to make the most of this one-of-a-kind experience, my full-day package is a true showstopper (and a client favourite!).

Get in touch to find out more and check availability—I’d love to be part of your big day.

Entertainment that went down a storm with all guests!

We booked Astha as surprise entertainment when we realised we had a bit of budget left for entertainment for our wedding and luckily she was free on our date and we have no regrets. Not only is Astha lovely to work with, she is responsive, invested and unbelievably talented. The live sketchs went down an absolute storm with every guest of all ages and you can instantly tell who the sketches are. We cannot recommend her enough and we are so glad that we booked her. We are also looking forward to receiving our more detailed sketch that came with the package.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
