When I was planning my own wedding, I went and learned calligraphy, hand-lettered all the stationery, designed and painted every invite myself.
I didn’t have to. I did it cause I wanted every detail to feel personal and beautiful.
The guests felt it and can’t stop talking about it. And that moment taught me something I’ve never forgotten: The most meaningful parts of a wedding are the ones that make your guests feel it was made just for them.
I’m Candy, a Melbourne live event illustrator known for elegant guest portraits and live sketching experiences.
Before I sketch guests at weddings, I spent years sketching live at VIP events for Prada, Dior, Burberry, Chaumet and Balenciaga. That’s where I learned to create beautiful work quickly, consistently and while people watch.
At your wedding, I draw your guests and precious moments in real time using Copic markers and watercolour. Each guest portrait takes around 7 minutes. Couple sketches around 10. It’s warm and fun experience during your celebration… and a keepsake your guests will still have on their wall years later.
My style is flattering, fashion-forward and elevated. I capture the moments and people at their best.
If you’re a couple who value art, care about the finest details, and giving your loved ones something genuinely beautiful… I’d love to be part of your day!
Here is what my couple says:
“It was such a hit and everyone loved it!!”
“She added the best element of surprise and fun to the reception”
