I’d love to illustrate at your wedding!

It’s such a great way to get everyone involved and the finished portraits are the perfect keepsake.

Simply fill in any info you can, and let’s chat!

How Live Wedding Illustration Works.

What happens before the event?

  • We’ll have a chat via Zoom or phone to discuss details, such as venue logistics, the absolute VIPS who must be drawn live on the day

  •  Where and when would you like the illustrations to take place- throughout the ceremony, reception, speeches and disco? Or simply, just the guests.

  • We’ll talk about the Pricing Package variations, listed below, so that we can agree the cost and deposit.

  • I’ll bring everything I need with me- all I request is a table and chair, preferably close to a plug socket in case I need extra light. I’ll research the venue’s location and logistics and my journey there, so you don’t need to worry about that.

What happens during the event?

  • I’ll aim to arrive at least 30 minutes before the event and set up my working area.

  • I’ll take photos of the couple and the main guests (the absolute VIPS!)

  • I’ll start working on the illustrations from the photographs. As I finish them, I will put them on a display rack in cello bags. Guests will be free to observe the illustrations and take them whenever convenient. I am always happy for guests to watch me at work!

  • If there is not time to draw everyone who would like to be illustrated, then I am happy to create illustrations in my studio after the event and send these by post.

What happens after the Event :

  • A week or so later I will give you a courtesy call to check that everyone loves their illustrations! Also to see if there are any extras that might be added.

  • Do keep in touch and keep me posted about any upcoming family celebrations!
