Live Illustrating
I offer a unique experience to any wedding/event, creating a form of entertainment for guests as well as beautiful hand-painted keepsakes for them to take home.
To give you a quick idea of how my day would typically look, I begin by taking photos of guests (either as they are arriving or at a later point in your wedding/event, that's up to you!) and then use these photos as reference to illustrate from. The paintings are created on A5 300gsm watercolour cardstock and using premium watercolour paints.
Please see below my hourly pricing and how many guests I am able to complete within those times. My illustrations can include faces/no faces depending on your preference (no additional charge whichever your choice).
​
3 HOURS: £375 (approx 20 guests)
​
4 HOURS: £425 (approx 28 guests)
5 HOURS: £475 (approx. 38 guests)
6 HOURS: £525 (approx. 48 guests)
7 HOURS: £575 (approx. 58 guests)
8 HOURS: £625 (approx 68 guests)
The number of guests I paint per hour is an approximate number and is dependent on the level of detail in peoples outfits and whether you would prefer facial features drawn.
​
Every couple/host will receive a portrait after their event (dispatched within 2 weeks). This allows for me to put a little more detail and time into your illustration and means that I can focus on your guests on the actual day and paint as many of your loved ones as possible.
​
A non-refundable deposit of £99 is required to secure your date and is deducted from the cost of the painting hours, which can be paid at a later date.
If accommodation costs are required then these will need to be paid upfront alongside the £99 deposit.
Additional travel and accommodation costs are dependant upon location. I travel to most of the UK.
Full costs will need to be paid latest 4 weeks prior to the wedding/event.
