Live Wedding Guest Illustrations for Modern Romantics
Looking for a wedding experience that’s as memorable as it is meaningful?
At June and Joan Art, your guests become part of the artwork. Steph, the artist behind June and Joan Art, creates live wedding guest illustrations that blend entertainment and personalised wedding favours, giving your loved ones a keepsake they’ll treasure long after your celebration ends.
Throughout your wedding, Steph creates elegant fashion illustration-inspired portraits live, capturing couples, families and friends as they celebrate alongside you. Guests love watching their portraits come to life before taking home an original artwork created just for them – a meaningful reminder of your special day.
More than just a wedding favour, live illustration creates moments of connection and conversation. As guests gather to watch the creative process unfold, the artwork becomes part of the experience itself. It’s interactive, memorable and unlike anything many guests have experienced before.
Every wedding is unique, which is why a range of live illustration packages are available to suit different guest numbers, timelines and celebration styles. Whether you’re hosting an intimate gathering or a grand wedding celebration, Steph works closely with each couple to tailor an experience that balances guest interaction, entertainment and personalised keepsakes. Any portraits not completed on the day are thoughtfully finished in the studio afterwards and delivered following your wedding, ensuring every promised guest receives their artwork.
Beyond live guest portraits, Steph also creates bespoke bridal portraits and custom wedding artwork designed to celebrate life’s most meaningful moments. Many couples choose to commission a bridal portrait before their wedding day, creating a beautiful heirloom piece that can be displayed at the reception and treasured for years to come.
Couples consistently describe live illustration as one of the most talked-about experiences of their wedding.
“Our guests absolutely loved it and couldn’t stop talking about their portraits. It was such a unique addition to our wedding and the artworks were incredible.”
If you’re searching for unique wedding entertainment, personalised wedding favours, or a creative way to make your celebration unforgettable, live wedding guest illustrations offer the perfect combination of artistry, entertainment and lasting memories.
Based in Sydney and available throughout New South Wales, June and Joan Art creates beautiful keepsakes for modern romantics who want their wedding day remembered long after the final dance.

How does Live Wedding Guest Illustration Work?
Live illustration is a great, personalised gift that can bring the “WOW” factor to your event.
It is fast paced , live drawing, with a couple taking approximately 12 - 16 minutes to draw, or individuals around 6- 10 minutes (depending on outfit style and complexity).
Guests will pose for a photo, usually during cocktail hour (or mingling time) or prior to the ceremony for larger packages, and the illustration will be created from the photo reference, so your guests can continue enjoying your special day.
How far out should I book?
As soon as you have a date for your wedding, I would reach out to book! Availability books up months in advance, so the earlier the better. A 50% deposit is required to secure the date once an inquiry is placed.
Once booked, around 4-6 weeks out I will reach out to confirm final details and work on templates if you are using them for your event.
What if time doesn't allow all my guests to be drawn on the day?
Not to worry! Each package has a guaranteed number of guests included. I will take photos of all guests on the night who want a photo, and I will draw as many guests on the night. The remaining guests will be drawn in studio after the event.
If you have more guests than what’s included in your package drawn, please see the above pricing information document for more information on additional post-event portraits.
Where are you based?
In 2026, I am currently based in Orange NSW, and I service Central West NSW and Sydney.
From 2027, I will be located in Sydney and will be servicing Sydney and Central West NSW.
What do you need on the day?
All you need to provide is a trestle sized table (which is normally provided by the venue!)
I will provide all my own materials, and present my artist signage on the table.
Illustrations will be places in A5 plastic sleeves for guests to collect on the night!
