Hi, this is Ives from Live Illos. I provide high quality and real-time illustrations during weddings. I capture not just faces and outfits but also emotions. Each portrait is drawn with care and speed, then carefully finished and sealed to become a keepsake your guests will cherish for years to come.
Why couples choose me:
• Speedy yet detailed hand-drawn portraits
• A fun and engaging guest experience filled with smiles and giggles
• Custom illustrations as unique as your loved ones
• A thoughtful process with beautifully polished and timeless pieces
My illustration journey began when I was two, cutting up cushion covers to make collages and doodling all over my mum’s beautifully curated photo albums. Realising I needed a more suitable creative outlet, she signed me up for weekend drawing classes. I’ve since been classically trained for 15+ years.
Illustration has become my quiet companion through every stage of life. I sketched through school, made countless birthday cards for friends, completed an illustration placement, and later studied Design at RMIT. For the past 10 years, I’ve worked as an in-house designer, refining my craft and deepening my love for thoughtful, intentional arts.
I enjoy blending creativity with connection— making people feel seen and genuinely delighted through art. Today, I would like to bring that same energy to your wedding, offering a distinctive, personal touch that elevates your day into an unforgettable and interactive experience.
