Live wedding illustration
- How does it work?
1) Peter works closely with every couple to integrate the live wedding illustration seamlessly into the flow of the day.
2) On the day Peter sets up a simple, stylish drawing station in a quiet corner of your venue. As guests arrive, he greets them individually and takes a reference photograph, creating a sense of anticipation from the very start of the evening.
3) Peter works through your wedding guest portraits one by one. Each portrait takes approximately 8 to 10 minutes depending on complexity, with singles, couples and small groups all welcome.
4) As the event unfolds, a gallery of your people begins to emerge. Guests gather to admire, laugh and delight in seeing themselves and each other brought to life.
5) At the end of the evening, every guest takes their drawing home.
Colour or Mono?
Live wedding illustration in two flavours
Peter draws in both full colour and elegant monochrome. Monochrome portraits have a timeless, graphic quality. Clean, elegant and can be tailored to complement your wedding palette. Colour brings warmth and personality and depicts your guests as they are.
Peter has delivered live illustration at some of the UK's most prestigious venues and events: Michelin starred restaurants, private members' clubs, country estates, Parisian boutiques and leading corporate clients across finance, fintech and luxury brands.
We’ve had so many comments from our friends and family about what a great addition Peter was, and we feel exactly the same.
