Live wedding Illustration

I love weddings! I love the beauty of the day. I love seeing the care and attention to the styling, the way the couple's personalities come through, down to the flowers, the cake, the extra quirks. Family photos are taken, old friends re-acquainted. It’s the most special day and I appreciate the time and effort put into every little choice which reflects the couple's vibe. And then the fashion! It’s a day where the guests go all out, dress up and treat themselves. I love to capture someone on a day they feel good, and I love to see their faces when they see themselves portrayed in a fashion illustration.

Live guest illustration brings a touch of artistry, personalisation and extra sparkle to your special day, and a wonderful way to entertain your guests. The intimacy of a hand-drawn portrait adds an unexpected level of sophistication and enhances the wedding atmosphere leaving a lasting impression. Guests get to take home their portraits as a sweet memento of your wedding day. 

From a photo of your wedding guests, either as a single or in a pair, I sketch and paint bringing their fashion illustration to life as everyone mingles and celebrates the occasion.

FAQ’s

More information and details are provided in my brochure.

Please email me via my contact form (below) to request a digital copy.

  • My style is fashion illustration, an elegant stylised form that flatters and shows off your guests’ best features. I draw quick, loose illustrations in various materials, sometimes with bold lines or painterly strokes - whatever feels right to capture the vibe.

  • I use mainly pencil, watercolour, markers and pen. I use artist quality mediums! All illustrations are drawn on A5 artist quality, archival paper and packed neatly in a protective cellophane envelope, ready for your guests to take home.

  • I’m currently based in Co. Galway, Ireland.

  • Travel within a 50km radius is included. Travel to destinations over 50km is charged at a modest rate of 45c per km.

  • I’m happy to travel abroad, I just ask that my expenses are covered (this would normally include one or two nights accommodation as well as flights, trains and automobiles).

  • Once you’ve booked me to live illustrate at your wedding. I will send you a form to fill in with details of your day, to give me a picture of how the day will unfold. I will be in touch around 1 - 2 weeks before the day, at a time that suits you, to discuss finer details.

    An illustration of you and your fiancé/fiancée is included. I will ask you to send photos of you and your partner. If you have included a customised wedding logo or motif, we’ll also discuss the design and layout so I can have the paper prepared for the day.

  • I will arrive 30-60 minutes before your illustration time to set up. As guests introduce themselves, I will digitally capture a photo of them and collect their names and details (email address to send them a digital copy if it’s not completed on the day) so I can draw their portrait while they mingle and enjoy the party. I work on a first come first served basis.

    A VIP package can be arranged where you can select particular guests to receive an illustration. More information on this and my packages are detailed in my brochure.

  • Generally, I sketch 1-2 guests per illustration. I’m currently completing 8 - 10 illustrations during a half day booking (Poppy package).

    The number of illustrations I can complete in your chosen time-frame depends on various factors. The package you choose has a guideline of how many illustrations to expect, but the aim is always to complete as many as possible in the time-frame. I’ll finish the remaining ones in my studio within two weeks, and send them registered post to the wedding couple.

  • I need a spacious table (preferably desk height) and a chair provided by your venue, in a well-lit area and near a plug socket for my light. If you have somewhere particular in mind you’d like me to set up, do let me know.

    Perhaps you’re hoping to have your reception outdoors, I love to work outside in good conditions.

  • Yes, absolutely! Currently, I offer three packages 'Poppy', 'Peony' and 'Protea', with optional add-ons. Information on each package and pricing is detailed in my brochure, followed by a list of add-ons. If you would like something a little different, don't hesitate to ask - I’m a bespoke artist after all! I love making personalised changes and additions, or trying something new. If you have something specific you would like to be included I’d love to hear your suggestions and ideas.

    My live illustration venture is in its early days, and I will be adding more packages in the near future. If you see options that weren’t available at the time of your booking, there will be, if possible, a chance for you to upgrade.

  • Get in touch and let me know your wedding date and venue for me to check availability. I'll email you my brochure and once you've chosen your package I’ll send you a quotation. To secure your special day, I require a €200 deposit to schedule you in. This can be paid via bank transfer or Revolut.

    Full payment is due one week before the event, or cash on the day. I will be in touch around a week before to go over the details of your day.

  • Absolutely! I’d be delighted to scheme with you!

  • I’m open to illustrating at various events, whether it be a party, intimate gathering, commercial or corporate event. Don’t hesitate to get in touch and let me know what you have in mind.

  • Because good enough is never good enough!

    I love drawing, sketching, painting and creating! I’ve been selling artworks since my early teens and have been a full-time professional artist since I graduated. I love creating pretty, dynamic and whimsical art...it’s my passion! I also love weddings and meeting people - the perfect combination!
