Create Unforgettable Moments with Elegant Live Portraits. Your wedding day is filled with precious moments, and live guest illustration offers your loved ones a beautiful, personalised keepsake they'll treasure forever. As an experienced luxury wedding artist based in London, Claire Jones creates sophisticated portrait illustrations that add an artistic touch to your celebration while entertaining your guests in the most elegant way.
How It Works During Your Drinks Reception
Live illustration works beautifully during the drinks reception, creating a natural gathering point where guests can relax, socialise, and enjoy a unique experience. Each guest or couple sits for approximately 10-15 minutes while Claire captures their likeness in your chosen style. Other guests enjoy watching the creative process unfold, making it both intimate entertainment and a wonderful conversation starter.
Bespoke to Your Wedding
Every wedding is unique, and your live illustration experience should reflect your personal style.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many portraits can you create during our reception?
This can vary depending on the style and complexity you choose. Average 5-10 minutes per person.

Absolutely. This works particularly well for elderly guests, young children, or anyone who prefers not to sit for their portrait.
What if we have more guests who want portraits than time allows?
We can discuss options such as extending the session, or offering a photo-based service after the event for additional guests.
Do you need anything special set up?
Just an area to work with two chairs, and good lighting is preferred. All art supplies and materials included and battery powered lighting if needed.
Can the portraits match our wedding colors or theme?
