time needed to draw your guests.
One portrait on A5 paper takes about 5–7 minutes. Drawing two people in one live illustration sketch takes around 10 minutes. In 1 hour I can draw around 10-12 persons and 5/6 couples.
I’m available from a minimum of 3 hours, during which I can illustrate around 30 guests. For a guest list of 50, I would need 5 hours to illustrate everyone. Of course, it’s also possible to focus only on guests who would like a portrait during the reception
cost and pricing
My starting rate for live illustration is €801,15 (including VAT). This applies to all bookings of up to 3 hours. For each additional hour, a rate of €267.05 (including VAT) will be charged. Travel costs are calculated from my studio location in Utrecht, the Netherlands. For travel times exceeding 50 minutes by car, an additional travel fee of 30% of the hourly rate per extra travel hour will apply. I always provide a personal, non-binding quote in advance, so you know exactly what the total costs will be.
Illustrations on Paper & Products
Illustrations are normally created on A5 paper, but they can also be made on products like perfume bottles, canvas bags, or product packaging. Contact me to explore the possibilities and make live illustration a unique part of your event!
paper with your names and date
It is possible to order paper with your names from me. This way your guests take a little something home from your wedding or celebration. In black and white, this is an additional €8.50 per hour.
Travel & Location
Based in Utrecht, Netherlands, I’m available for events across the country and internationally. I frequently work in Belgium and Germany, and I’m open to traveling to other countries to bring live illustration to your event!

FAQ
Most frequent questions and answers
Live illustration is available from €801.15 including VAT. This applies to 3 hours or anything under 2 hours. After the starting rate, I charge based on my hourly rate of €267.05 including VAT. This comes down to €26.70 per person illustrated. Travel costs from Utrecht, usually by train, are added, as well as any printing costs for personalised paper if requested.
In 1 hour I can draw 10 people. If you have around 40 daytime guests, I need 4 hours to illustrate everyone. I calculate this based on the number of people, not per illustration. Illustrating a couple takes twice as much time as illustrating one person.
An illustration of 1 person takes about 5 minutes. For 2 people it takes between 8 and 10 minutes, and for a family between 10 and 15 minutes.
I bring all my drawing and painting materials myself, the only thing I need on location is a table and a chair to work at. Preferably at normal sitting height, although this can sometimes be tricky depending on the venue, in that case it’s good to discuss the options together. It is also important that there is enough lighting. If that is difficult, I can bring my own lighting in consultation.
Yes, absolutely, however if it rains or if there is strong wind, it is helpful to have an indoor setup available so I can move inside if needed. If your event or wedding takes place outdoors, I appreciate being informed in advance so I can dress accordingly and stay comfortable in cooler weather.
Both are possible. If you would like a physical keepsake, I usually work on A5 paper, but we can decide on the format together if you prefer something different. Digitally, I work on my iPad Pro and can share the illustrations with guests via email or AirDrop. For a keepsake that people can display at home, paper is perfect, but if you would like guests to use it online, digital is a great option.
For weddings in the spring and summer season, especially on weekends, it is best to check availability as early as possible. During the wedding season I am usually fully booked 2 to 3 months in advance, but if your date is sooner, feel free to reach out as your date might still be available.
I am based in Utrecht, the Netherlands, but I travel worldwide for work. I have worked at events in Belgium and Germany and I am open to events even further away.
Yes, I can prepare a quote including the costs for illustration, travel, and any personalised paper if desired. At the bottom of the page you will find a contact form where you can fill in your details, the number of guests or hours you would like to book, and the location of your event or wedding. I need this information to prepare a quote. After sending the quote, you are of course free to take some time to consider it, I will hold your date for 2 weeks. If another booking request comes in during that time, I will contact you first.
