Elegant live sketching station setup for Florida wedding reception

More than a keepsake — an intentional experience

What is Live Fashion Illustration?

Live fashion illustration, Also known as live wedding sketching, or live event illustration, is a luxury guest experience where a professional fashion illustrator creates custom portraits on-site during your event.

Unlike traditional photo booths or party favors, live illustration becomes part of the entertainment itself, drawing a crowd and adding artistic elegance to your celebration, while giving your guests a personalized keepsake favor to remember the event.

Ideal for:

  • Luxury weddings
  • Black-tie receptions
  • Bridal showers
  • Private events
  • Corporate galas

Live Fashion Illustration

FAQ's

How does it work?

We capture a quick reference photo of each guest who wishes to be sketched, using it to create their fun and stylish fashion illustration. I only draw from photos that we take during the event, and those sketches are completed live throughout the event on a first-come, first-served basis.

We ask 1-2 people maximum, per page. No repeats (to ensure all guests who want to be sketched, get sketched).

How long does it take?

Each illustration takes about 10 -12 minutes per person (approximately 20 minutes for two people in one sketch).

At Keepsake Couture, we prioritize quality above all else. Our goal is to create each sketch with such care and attention to detail that it becomes a perfect piece worthy of framing.

What materials do you use?

I use premium markers, pens and pencils, so there is no dry time (like with paint).

Describe your sketch style...

I take a more fashion illustration approach and try to capture the essence of each guest, focusing on their outfit, hair, and accessories.

For women, I like to add a cute eye lash and a smile, and for men I try to capture their facial hair and masculine jaw line.

Does everyone receive a sketch?

It depends on which package you choose. I can attend your event and only sketch during that time frame, or we can agree on a number of sketches ahead of time. In that case, any unfinished sketches will be completed with care after the event and mailed to you - perfect for including in your thank-you cards!
