China Jordan
As a small, independent artist based in London, I absolutely love creating watercolour illustrations for weddings. There’s something magical about capturing your guests in a few strokes of paint — each portrait becomes a personal keepsake that they’ll treasure forever. My live illustrations aren’t just beautiful artwork; they’re a fun, interactive experience that gets everyone talking, laughing, and enjoying your special day even more. It’s my absolute pleasure to bring a little extra magic to your wedding, leaving your guests with memories they can hold onto long after the day is over.

What Is A Live Wedding Artist?
My live wedding art is specifically aimed at the guests, it's a really great wedding favour! You'll get one yourself as the wedding couple, but the session is focused on painting as many wedding guests as possible.
Can You Personalise The Artwork?
Absolutely. Artwork can include your names and wedding dates so no-one will forget your anniversary.
Do The Guests Get To Keep Their Artwork?
That's totally up to you! Most couples allow their guests to take them home, some keep them and make them into thank you cards.
How Many Guests Can You Paint In 1 Hour?
This all depends on what they are wearing, and a sprinkle of faff time to take their pictures and wrap the artwork. On average it takes 4- 8 minutes PP, so anything from 8 - 12 PPL per hour.
Can You Do The Live Oil Paintings
It's not something I've practised, and it is something I want to look at after this wedding season. I am an oil painter traditionally, but it usually takes me a very long time to paint them so this wedding season, I will be training to paint quicker.
FAQ's
When Do You Normally Arrive?
The best time for me to start is when the guests are arriving and can take their pictures as they walk into the ceremony. Then I can paint uninterupted which is a lot quicker! You can choose whatever time you want me to start.
Do You Paint The Wedding Couple Too, Or Just The Guests?
Yes. I paint the couple before the wedding, so I get you to send me pictures (separately of course) and then I spend a bit more time on yours and make it bigger.
How Do The Guests Receive Their Artwork?
Each painting is inside a compostable clear sleeve to keep it safe and visable.
How Far In Advance Should We Book?
Popular dates — especially summer weddings and December events — can book up several months in advance. Booking early is recommended to secure your preferred date.
How Much Does It Cost?
From £575 for 3 hours which include all materials, prep time, travel in London, materials and photographs! Enquire for more info.
