My Wedding Sketcher

 

Capturing your special day in ink and watercolour

As a wedding sketcher I attend the event and move around in the background drawing the details which catch my eye, like the flower arrangements, personal decorations, architectural details and colourful outfits!

Soon I have a sketch book full of pen and watercolour drawings which seem to hold a memory of the day, the atmosphere and feeling of a truly special occasion.

Key locations or events to sketch during the day can be discussed before hand but I always like to draw the ceremony and venue exterior. Also the bouquet is a personal favourite, I think because my Mum is a florist and I know the care and skill that goes into something made for that exact and fleeting moment. It’s nice to hold that moment forever in my watercolours. 

Above are a few of my sketches and also a couple of my favour sketches where I sketch guests during the reception which is always great fun and creates unique and personal keepsakes. 

A Wedding Sketcher package can also be the perfect gift, creating a number of unique artworks.

  1. I recently saw your work that you did at Dunglass Estate and I absolutely loved it! I am getting married on the 7th June 2025 at Dunglass Estate, do you have availability on that date?

    Please could you let me know a bit more about your wedding services? I loved the sketches in the church that you did and also saw on your Instagram that you can do guest sketches? Please could you give me an idea of how much just the normal sketching services cost and how much it would be to add on the guest sketches on personalised cards as favours?
