Your Love Story, Sketched in the Moment
Every wedding tells a story — yours is unlike any other.
As your Hochzeitszeichnerin, I don’t just draw what I see — I feel the energy of your celebration, the quiet glances, the big laughs, the way your guests look at you. I turn those fleeting moments into timeless art.
Each sketch I create during your wedding isn’t just a portrait.
It’s a whisper of the atmosphere.
A visual poem.
A piece of your love story, captured live — in ink and watercolor.
This is more than entertainment. It’s an heirloom for your guests and a legacy of your day.
Let your wedding be remembered not just in photos,
but through art that breathes with emotion.

Meet Your Wedding Illustrator – Fizah from Manjachen Studio
Hi, I’m Fizah – a live event illustrator and fine art artist based in Bavaria, originally from Malaysia.
My journey to Germany began with love where I moved here to build a new life with my German husband. As I navigated a new country, language, and culture, art became my anchor. I started sketching the world around me: the charming streets, the local cafés, the architecture by using ink and watercolor to feel at home and connect with people around me. I always have my sketchbooks in my handbags.
That same spirit now flows into every wedding I illustrate.
It’s an incredible honor for me to celebrate other people’s love stories through art. Every time I sit down to sketch a guest or a couple, I’m reminded of how love bridges cultures, languages, and lives as just like mine did.
With a background in urban sketching and live event illustration, I’ve worked at weddings, trade fairs, luxury brand activations, and cultural festivals. I draw with heart, speed, and style but most of all, I draw with genuine curiosity and joy.
Whether I’m sketching a joyful guest or listening to a grandmother share a story, I thrive in the beauty of human connection. I have two kids of my own, so kids can always be chatty with me while I paint them too.
Let’s turn your special day into timeless, hand-drawn memories.
