Wedding keepsakes your guests will actually want to keep
Wow your friends & family with a personalised, live illustration experience
Hi, I'm Linda - The Wedding Illustrator.
I'll draw your guests live on the day, creating personalised, hand-drawn portraits they’ll love, share, and talk about long after the celebration ends.
Make your guests part of your special day
Your wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and you’ve poured your heart into planning every detail—from choosing the perfect venue to curating a guest list filled with your favourite people.
Your best friend who knows all your secrets (and still loves you anyway!). The uncle who’s guaranteed to get the dance floor going. The cousins you only see once a year, who somehow make every reunion feel like yesterday.
They’re not just guests—they’re part of your story.
And my job? To make sure they feel exactly that.
As your live wedding illustrator, I’ll create beautiful, hand-drawn portraits of your loved ones, capturing their unique personalities in real time. Instead of a token favour that gets left behind, you’ll gift them a piece of your special day—a keepsake to treasure, frame, and smile at for years to come.
It's a fun, memorable experience that ensures your favourite people feel connected to your love story long after the confetti has been swept away.
“Linda was the most fabulous addition that we had at our wedding. All of our guests couldn't stop raving about how lovely Linda was and how amazing her drawings were!”

Oh back to me!
Meet your wedding illustrator
Hi, I’m Linda
Professional artist, animator and hopeless romantic.
Ever since I could hold a pencil, I've loved bringing stories to life through illustration.
There's nothing quite like watching characters and emotions spring to life on paper, and of all the incredible stories I’ve had the joy of capturing, weddings steal my heart every single time.
After studying Classical Animation & Fine Art, I spent several exciting years illustrating for global "pinch-me-is-this-real" brands like CHANEL, L’Oréal, and Google.
But honestly? Nothing compares to the excitement, emotion, and joy of illustrating weddings.
My creative background blends fine art, painting, animation, and digital illustration, giving me a vibrant and versatile toolkit to quickly and beautifully capture the unique essence of every couple I meet.
Having captured hundreds of celebrations, I pride myself on finding those genuine moments—the laughter, the smiles, and the shared joy—that make your special day truly unforgettable.
Is your wedding day next?...
“We chose to book Linda instead of spending money on wedding favours and our guests are delighted with their gorgeous mementos of our day.”
- Ciara & Rian

Ok, let’s get serious
Why book me for your wedding?
Let’s be honest; many traditional reception entertainment or souvenir options can feel a little "been there, done that."
Couples choose to work with me because they want something refreshingly different and meaningful - an experience their guests can genuinely connect with and remember long after the wedding day.
Here’s why!
-
A one-of-a-kind experience your guests will LOVE (and talk about!)
Swap out the forgettable favours or “seen it before” drinks reception entertainment for something personal, interactive, and truly memorable.
Guests won’t be making awkward small talk—they’ll laugh, mingle, and watch their portraits come to life.
Yep, it’s entertainment and a keepsake all in one!
-
A high-quality keepsake- they’ll actually want to keep!
I’m not here to churn out quick sketches just to hit numbers.
Every illustration is hand-drawn with care, capturing your guests’ genuine expressions and personalities.
These aren’t the kind of keepsakes that end up in the junk drawer—they’re frame-worthy, treasure-forever portraits they’ll love showing off!
-
Expertise that puts you and your guests at ease
With hundreds of weddings illustrated (plus a client list featuring Chanel, L’Oréal, and Google), I know how to make even the most camera-shy guests feel comfortable.
Yes, even that uncle who never sits still or the friend who “hates photos” will walk away with a portrait they adore.
Most importantly? You get to enjoy your big day, knowing your guests are in safe hands.
“Even weeks later, people are still talking about how much fun they had and how special those portraits are.”

What to expect
-
Once we’ve booked your date, we’ll discuss your vision, your wedding style, and all those special touches that will make your illustration experience truly yours.
-
About four months before the big day, I’ll send over a custom design mock-up of the illustration paper I’ll be using. Within my Most Loved and Ultimate Packages, you will have the option to add branded elements, such as your wedding colours or motif, to ensure every detail fits your vision perfectly.
-
A month before your wedding, we'll lock in the logistics and fine-tune any special requirements so the day flows seamlessly.
-
On your wedding day, I’ll arrive ready to create a delightful experience for your guests. And, of course, you'll receive your own special bridal artwork, drawn live or from a favourite photo (depending on your package).
-
After your special day, my Most Loved and Ultimate package couples will have access to a custom online gallery to revisit the memories and order additional prints, canvases, greeting cards, and digital files. It's the perfect way to keep celebrating those beautiful unforgettable moments, again and again (.....and again!).
Our guests have all mentioned that it was the best addition to a wedding day that they had seen. The queue was out the door for Linda as she was SO popular!”

Wedding Illustration - everything you need to know
I’m sure you have questions
I’ve sketched at hundreds of weddings, and trust me—nearly every couple has questions about how it works. Let’s clear things up so you can get back to picking the perfect playlist to fill the dance floor.
Below are some of the most common things couples ask me.
Still unsure? Please reach out—I’d love to chat!
-
Absolutely! After spending over 1,000 hours illustrating at weddings, I can confidently say guests LOVE this experience. It’s interactive, unique, and something they don’t get to do every day. Unlike entertainment that’s over in a flash, these portraits become treasured keepsakes. In fact, guests often tell me years later that their illustrations are still proudly displayed at home!
-
Absolutely! I love chatting with guests while I draw—it’s one of the best parts of the job. The most common question I hear might surprise you: "Is this your real job?!" (Typically asked by Irish dads!) And yes, this is indeed my real job!
-
It depends on your package:
Classic Package: 2.5 hours during the drinks reception only
Most Loved Package: 5 hours during drinks & evening reception
Ultimate Package: 7 hours (full day)
-
Usually, yes, depending on availability! Additional illustration time is charged hourly. Feel free to get in touch for a custom quote.
-
Anywhere you like! I've illustrated beside bars, by dance floors, in dinner halls—you name it. All I need is a desk-height table and two chairs for guests (and their champagne!). For evening receptions, a nearby socket for lighting is appreciated. Other than that, I'm super flexible!
-
Yes! While live sketching is my favourite way to capture the energy of your guests, I also offer an option to draw from photographs in my Ultimate Package. This is great if your wedding day is packed with entertainment and you don’t want guests to feel they’re missing out.
-
Think of this as your illustration photo album! Your bridal artwork will be beautifully displayed online, similar to your wedding photographer’s gallery. From here, you can easily order additional prints, canvasses, and personalised cards—making your post-wedding thank-yous extra special.
-
Travel within Co. Meath is included. Beyond that, a small travel fee (60c/km) applies. Please reach out for a custom quote for longer distances—I’d love to join you wherever your celebration takes you!
-
It’s simple!
If you’re happy with your quote, I’ll send a digital contract with Terms & Conditions. A €200 deposit via Stripe, Revolut, or Bank Transfer secures your date.
Four months before your wedding, I’ll share a mock-up of your custom illustration paper design and info on paying your first 50% instalments. The balance is due the week of the wedding.
We'll reconnect one month before the wedding to discuss the final details.
On your big day, I'll arrive at your venue 30 minutes early to set up and prepare to sketch your guests.
-
Absolutely! I've illustrated for exclusive private celebrations and corporate events, working with prestigious global brands like CHANEL, L’Oreal, and Clarins. Interested in something beyond weddings? Feel free to reach out or explore my event portfolio on my corporate events page.
-
Not at all! Guests only need to face me - I actually prefer it if they chat and relax naturally. It helps me capture their true personalities! Illustrations usually feature couples or pairs from the waist up, taking just 6–10 minutes each - perfect for enjoying a chat, canapé, or a glass of bubbly!
-
Yes! Each guest receives their own high-quality, hand-drawn portrait on premium art paper, personalised with your names, wedding date, and venue. Portraits can also be placed into elegant display booklets to keep them safe until guests get home.
-
Absolutely—it’s one of my favourite parts of the day! For full-day bookings, I illustrate the bridal couple from photos after the wedding. For half-day bookings, I will draw them during the allocated time on the day..
-
Anywhere you like! I've illustrated beside bars, by dance floors, in dinner halls—you name it. All I need is a desk-height table and two chairs for guests (and their champagne!). For evening receptions, a nearby socket for lighting is appreciated. Other than that, I'm super flexible!
-
Dilemmas, dilemmas!
Ah, the big question! I highly recommend my Most Loved package, giving me ample time to illustrate your guests, bridal party, and close family who might be busy during the reception. Still unsure? Drop me an email—I’d love to help you decide!
-
Absolutely! I love incorporating personalised touches into my work. I offer a branded paper option in my Most Loved and Ultimate Packages. Whether it’s your wedding crest, a meaningful quote, or a subtle design element, we’ll finalise all the details before the big day.
-
Can I have a pop-up display gallery?
Definitely! Guests love this interactive experience, spotting their portraits and friends in the illustrated display. Let me know if you'd like this option—I’m happy to create a memorable gallery moment at your event!
