I’ll be illustrating during your wedding, and your guests will have the chance to see their portraits come to life right before their eyes!
Entertainment for you guests!
Wedding favours that won’t get left behind!
Talking point on the day and for years to come!
“Everyone I talked to were raving about her illustrations and I loved seeing people passing their paintings around to show each other.”
Maryann and Joshua
“Esther is so talented and sweet! Esther and her hubby assistant were at our wedding and they were the highlight of the night. Everyone I talked to were raving about her illustrations and I loved seeing people passing their paintings around to show each other. Huge thank you to Ioana from Selea Photography for setting up this opportunity. The day couldn’t have gone any better and people have beautiful keepsakes of our wedding.”

Dressed in their finest, my goal is to capture their stylish outfits!

It's your wedding, I'd love to capture your look too!

This will involve two video meetings:
The first meeting will be an opportunity for us to get to know each other and for me to understand your vision for your wedding.
If you decide to book me, the second meeting will take place a few weeks before your wedding day to go over the final details.
I understand that planning a wedding can be time-consuming and involve many meetings, so if you’d prefer to handle things via email, I'm happy to accommodate that as well!

You can add your names, logo, or wedding date to the paper I illustrate on!

Every finished illustration will be in a clear plastic sleeve.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
When your guests visit my station, I'll snap a quick photo to ensure they don’t have to wait and can continue enjoying the wedding. This photo is all I need to create their custom illustration!
Once each portrait is finished, I’ll display them like a pop-up gallery on the table, so your guests can take home a special keepsake from your celebration by the end of the evening.
-
Each person takes about 8-10 minutes, depending on the complexity of their outfit!
