Live illustrations turn your wedding guests into part of a small work of art. Fizah from Manjachen Studio draws them right there on the spot using ink and watercolor. It’s about more than just entertainment: it’s about personal connections and little mementos that will remind you of this special day long after the wedding is over.

Live guest illustrations can be beautifully incorporated into the champagne reception, the afternoon, or the wedding celebration. Depending on the number of guests and the day’s schedule, Fizah will work with you to find the perfect setting. The illustration paper can also be personalized to match your wedding. For example, the paper can feature your names, the wedding date, or a custom design.

How does a live illustration work at our wedding?
During your wedding, I’ll sketch your guests live on-site using ink and watercolor. They can watch as their personal illustration takes shape and then take their artwork home right away as a memento of your wedding day. Live illustration integrates beautifully into the champagne reception, the afternoon, or the evening celebration.
How many guests can be accommodated at a wedding?
Depending on the level of detail in the guests’ attire and the schedule on the wedding day, I can sketch about 6–10 guests or couples per hour. The most popular wedding package covers up to 30 guests during the champagne reception. An A4 illustration of the bride and groom is also included. If it’s not possible to sketch every guest live during the booked time, we can work together to find a suitable solution. Upon request, selected illustrations can then be finished in the studio.
Can the illustration paper be customized to match our design?
Yes. The illustration paper can be personalized with your names, your wedding date, a monogram, or a design that matches your wedding theme. Personal motifs, such as your wedding venue, special flowers, or a building, can also be custom-illustrated and incorporated into the design. This way, every portrait becomes a personal part of your wedding story.
Do you also offer a collage illustration of the wedding guests?
In addition to live guest illustrations, I also create custom collage illustrations of the wedding party. Individual guests, couples, or families are brought together to form a single work of art. The collage is created in my studio after the wedding and can be reproduced as a high-quality art print upon request—for example, as a gift for parents, family, or guests. Custom thank-you cards featuring the illustration are also available.
What makes a live guest illustration a special gift for guests?
Your guests can watch as their own portraits take shape, step by step. This naturally leads to conversations, encounters, and special moments. In the end, each guest will hold a personal work of art in their hands, created especially for them. For me as an artist, what makes this special is capturing the people who share your wedding day with you. This way, your guests not only take home a wedding favor, but also the memory of the moment it was created.
