What does the service consist of?
A bespoke package, to complement traditional wedding photography, the focus is on capturing the atmosphere and spontaneity of the day, through being on location, drawing everything that happens throughout the event.
The result is a beautiful hardcover presentation book of drawings, in ink and watercolour, covering the ceremony, the guests, reception, the meal, the dancing and any other special moments.
Every aspect is customizeable to align with the clients' unique vision and style.
Drawn on location
From intimate weddings to large-scale celebrations, I bring your story to life through personalised illustrations that highlight the emotion of your day.
Being present at the event gives me the freedom to express what best tells the story of your wedding, choosing the most meaningful scenes as they unfold. I portray the guests behaving naturally, without the self-awareness a camera lens often brings, reflecting the spontaneity and emotion of the day in a uniquely artistic way.
The Ceremony
Whether it’s in a church or on a beach, a grand event or an intimate affair, rest assured the spirit of the event will be captured on paper!
The Setting
From the heart of the city to remote fincas, capture the scale of the event in its proper context, with artistic renderings of all the prime locations.
The Atmosphere
Telling the story of the day, scene by scene, drawing by drawing.
The Party
The enjoyment, the music, the dancing!
The Personality
And not forgetting the individual quirks of each wedding!
Portraits
Live Portraits for Weddings
Capture the magic of your wedding in a completely personal and interactive way. Guests will enjoy posing for their own hand-drawn portrait, a unique keepsake they will take home in a decorative envelope, sealed with the wedding date.
“I will keep it forever and for the generations to come. Here’s hoping it lasts many hundreds of years!”
“It was amazing, and all the guests were thrilled with your illustrations. You added so much to that day, and we are very grateful!”
“Incredible, without a doubt the best gift we received. A work of art.”
“The bride and groom loved our present and we were amazed with the work we saw you do. Spectacular job!”
Other Services
LARGER PAINTINGS
If you prefer to concentrate on larger scale scenes, for the purpose of creating originals for hanging on the wall, rather than filling the pages of a sketchbook, you can choose this option, up to A3 size, on high quality 300gm watercolour paper.
PRINTS
Prints are available of all the drawings done of the wedding, in a range of sizes from A5 to A4.
Enquire for pricings.
PORTRAITS
You can also order supplementary drawings done from specific photos, or for example if you’re looking for a more traditional wedding portrait service on its own, I additionally do portraits of the bride and groom or of groups of family/friends etc from photos provided.
