I’m Lydia, the creative heart and soul behind Guest Graffiti. As someone who cherishes love in all its forms, I take great joy in illustrating your wedding day—transforming fleeting moments into timeless art.
Your wedding day is a beautiful narrative, filled with laughter, joy, and the deep connections that bring us together. I consider it a privilege to be part of your celebration, capturing the essence of each heartfelt moment through my illustrations. Together, we’ll create a stunning visual story that you can hold onto forever.
Let’s make your special day even more memorable!
My Journey
My journey into the world of guest graffiti began three years ago when I first started working as a wedding venue stylist. This role provided me with invaluable insight into the intricacies of weddings, deepening my love for the industry and the joy it brings to couples on their special day.
With a lifelong passion for creativity and art, I saw an opportunity to blend these two worlds together. It was in this fusion of my artistic inclinations and the wedding environment that the concept of guest graffiti was born.
Capturing Your Day in Real-Time
Our live wedding illustration service adds a unique and enchanting element to your special day. I create hand-drawn illustrations of your guests, ensuring a memorable experience for everyone. It is an incredible privilege to play a part, however small, in your wedding celebration.
During the event, I take photos of your guests and then begin sketching them. If I am unable to complete all of the illustrations on-site, I will finish them at home and send them to you afterward, ensuring that you have a complete set of keepsakes. Each piece of art captures the essence of the moment as it unfolds—just real, unaltered beauty in the moment.

If you have a theme, colour scheme, or specific style in mind, please let me know in advance, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your preferences. We also offer to add your wedding logo, names, date and venue to the paper for a personal touch!

What if the event location is outdoors?I can work in outdoor settings, but it’s helpful to have shaded areas or a backup plan in case of inclement weather. Please discuss this with me ahead of time!

How can I secure my date?To secure your booking, a deposit is generally required. Once we agree on the details and date, I’ll send you a contract outlining the terms of our agreement.
