Welcome to another exciting episode of the Just as Planned TV and Podcast Show, where we bring you fresh, innovative ideas to make your wedding day even more unforgettable. I’m your host, Nathan Cassar, and today we have a very special guest—Lissy Hernandez, the creative genius behind Adore by Lissy.
Lissy is revolutionizing the world of wedding entertainment with her incredible live illustrations. Specializing in creating unique, hand-painted watercolour portraits for guests at weddings and luxury events, Lissy has brought a magical twist to keepsakes. With a quick reference photo and her delicate watercolours, Lissy transforms fleeting moments into treasured works of art in real-time.
From fitness to artistry, Lissy’s journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. A former bodybuilder with a deep love for comic book characters like Catwoman and Wonder Woman, Lissy channels that same strength and elegance into her whimsical, stylized artwork that guests adore. It’s not just about capturing the pose—it’s about capturing the feeling, and that’s what makes her work so special.
Today, Lissy will share everything you need to know about live illustration at weddings: from how it works and the inspiration behind it to the reactions couples and guests have when they receive their one-of-a-kind portraits. We’ll also explore why it’s totally worth the investment, what to look for when choosing a live illustrator, and the unique flair that makes Lissy’s artwork stand out in a crowd.
So, if you’re looking to add something truly magical to your wedding, stay tuned. Lissy, welcome to the show!
About the guest: Lissy Hernandez
Hi, I’m Lissy, the artist behind Adore by Lissy. I specialise in live guest illustrations at weddings and luxury events, creating elegant and enchanting keepsakes in real time. Guests visit my table, my assistant captures a quick reference photo, and while they enjoy the celebration, I bring their portrait to life in delicate watercolours. By the time they return, a one-of-a-kind artwork is waiting for them, a treasured memento of the day.
Illustration has always been my passion, but I never imagined I’d turn it into something so magical. Seeing the joy on guests’ faces, the laughter as they admire their portraits, and the way couples cherish these artworks long after the wedding day- that’s what truly makes this special.
