Hi, I am a live portrait illustrator. Painting watercolour portraits of all your guests for the most unique wedding favour ever! Think of me like a live, hand-painted Photo Booth! I arrive before the ceremony and take photos of all the guests, so nobody wastes any time posing for a painting. During the ceremony and then throughout the day, I will hand-paint everyone on lovely, textured watercolour card. Guests can come and watch me work, providing entertainment, and then take home and frame their very own personalised watercolour portrait- a gorgeous memory of your day! Alternatively, the married couple can take all the paintings home to have a good look through, take photos and then send them out as personalised thank you cards. Entertainment, wedding favours and thank you cards, all in one! And in this era of digitalisation, my hand-painted designs offer that touch of love and personalisation to your day.

Jo joined us as a surprise for guests at our micro wedding in July. Her illustrations were incredible and an absolute hit with our family and all ages. She was warm and welcoming with everybody, and has such an amazing talent! Her drawings were the perfect favours for us all to take home. 100% recommend!

I recently had Jo painting at our wedding and she was absolutely incredible. Her talent is amazing and her persona makes you feel like she’s not even in the room. Our guests were absolutely thrilled with their special keepsake: she even went the extra mile and painted my niece who recently passed into our family portrait; very special touch from a special person. Thank you so much Jo, you were brilliant x

Jo was the illustrator at our wedding and if you’re considering booking absolutely do it!! She was a total delight, and worked SO hard, painting away. Didn’t feel like I needed to keep an eye on her at all, she just cracked on. She was so kind and friendly to everyone and all of our guests (and we) were absolutely thrilled with our illustrations. They were all beautiful!! We were so happy to send everyone away with a little something that would remind us of our wedding day without being branded with our wedding day. Thank you!! X

We had the lovely Jo at our wedding painting portraits of our guests and it was one of my favourite and most fun things that we added to our day! Our guests absolutely loved it and still talk about it now! We loved having Jo as a part of our big day and would highly recommend 💕

Jo's live illustration at our wedding was just perfect. She was really friendly and professional and the illustrations were so beautiful. Our guests loved them and we did too! We already have ours framed in our living room and I've been sent lots pictures of our guest illustrations up in their homes. We are so happy with the service Jo provided and would really recommend her live illustrations for your own wedding. One of our friends also bought us a larger painting of the venue and us (plus our cat as an addition) which is just perfect. Thanks so much, Jo!

We’re so glad we had Jo at our wedding! It was such a cute and unique gift for our guests — they really loved the portraits and something they’ll keep and remember than other favours. Thank you for your hard work and for making our day even more special!

Jo is amazing artist who captured everyone beautifully in such a fun way. We loved all her illustrations and were wowed at the likenesses she created. She is absolutely delightful and smiled the entire day. She was a huge draw at our event. She was punctual and completely reliable and I can thoroughly recommend her service, it was brilliant. Thank you Jo!
