Looking for a live wedding portrait illustrator in the UK? I create stylish and flattering fashion-inspired portraits of your wedding guests, which take just 6 minutes per person, or 10-12 minutes per couple.
The A5 size ink and watercolour illustrations capture faces and outfits in full and vibrant colour, on thick, top quality paper, presented in a classy mount. Stun your guests with unique wedding favours they’ll treasure forever.
I set up my easel at the venue, and paint guests while they pose, meaning your friends and family also get to watch me at work, close up! It’s rare that you’ll find a live wedding illustrator this fast, so it’s always an attraction.
We’ll gradually build a pop up art gallery at your reception – then at the end of the night, your guests get to take home a unique memento of your unforgettable celebration.
Full Day Mixed package
If you’d like portraits of your guests alongside a live wedding painting, you need my Full Day Mixed package! The wedding painting I offer with this service is an A3 size watercolour.
Full Day Portrait package
If you’d just like as many guests painted as possible, and you don’t mind your own portrait being smaller and simpler in style, this service may be best for you.
Portrait bookings by the hour
I rarely do anything less than a full day booking at weddings, but if your event is limited in time and expectations, a shorter booking may suffice. Bookings by the hour are not available on weekends, due to demand. Please enquire for a quote.

So why choose a UK wedding illustrator over a local caricature artist, or even a photo booth? Quite simply, it’s classy, memorable and your guests will probably never have seen it before – it’s one of the most unique wedding entertainment options you could pick. When your guests go home with a beautiful portrait in their hands, stamped with the name and date of your wedding, you can be sure this is one bespoke wedding favour they’ll never forget.
I am faster than most live wedding portrait illustrators. When painting my wedding guest portraits, I can capture 3 to 4 couples or 6 to 10 singles per hour, depending on the style and speed you request. Full length, detailed portraits are more suitable for smaller, more intimate parties, and for larger weddings, I can use a more minimal, head and shoulders style. Info and examples are available on request.
