DESTINATION

Live illustrator for your wedding in San Sebastián

San Sebastián is one of Europe's most elegant settings for a destination wedding — from the sweeping curve of La Concha Bay to Michelin-starred dining, Belle Époque palaces and a coastline that stretches from Hondarribia to Zarautz, the city has an effortless sense of occasion.

As a fine-art trained illustrator based in Biarritz, just across the border, I regularly work in San Sebastián and Gipuzkoa to capture the magic of celebrations through live watercolour portraits and bespoke wedding art.

Each guest takes home a hand-painted portrait, an elegant artistic experience that blends seamlessly into your reception and gives every guest a one-of-a-kind keepsake to treasure.

THE EXPERIENCE

 

What happens on the day

I arrive about an hour before the first guests, setting up my live illustration supplies on the location of your choice. During the cocktail hour or reception, guest's portraits are painted within less than 10 minutes per person.
 

The result is a refined, hand-painted watercolor portrait that captures each guest's likeness with the eye of a fine artist rather than a caricaturist. Guests take their portrait home as a personal souvenir of the celebration.

WHY LIVE WEDDING ILLUSTRATION?

Live illustration for your wedding in Europe

A destination wedding in Spain brings together different cultures, languages and generations — and that's exactly what makes live illustration such a perfect fit. It's a universal experience that every guest can enjoy regardless of language as they walk away with a hand-painted portrait they'll keep forever. It adds an artistic and personal touch to your wedding reception that guests don't expect and never forget. Each portrait is created by hand in watercolour or pencil, making it a truly unique keepsake from your special day.
 

Trained at the Beaux-Arts de Paris and fluent in English, French and Korean, Laehui Studio works with international couples usually across France and Spain. Wherever in Europe your wedding takes you, I'd love to be part of it.
