About

Annabelle is a live wedding illustrator based in the Southwest, working with couples who want something a little different from the usual wedding keepsakes.

Known for her calm, friendly presence and signature modern style, Annabelle works closely with each couple, ensuring that whatever you choose feels right for you and your day. From your first email to the final artwork, she makes the process feel effortless.

Packages are tailored — she'll work with your numbers, your timings, and what actually matters to you. She typically completes 50–60 illustrations on the day itself, so the majority of your guests get to watch their portrait come to life in real time — with any remaining finished afterwards so nobody misses out.

Unique baby shower illustrations!

After seeing some of Annabelle's artwork on social media, we were delighted she was able to extend her services to a baby shower BBQ we held for family and friends. Annabelle was approachable, calm, and really fitted in with the flow of our day. We were delighted with the artwork afterwards which we'll cherish and share with our child. Thank you for capturing the day in a unique way!

Absolutely incredible!!

We cannot recommend Abelias Art highly enough! Having Annabelle as our live illustrator at our wedding was one of the absolute highlights of the day. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she is also such a lovely person, so friendly, down-to-earth and a joy to have around.
The illustrations she created were simply beautiful and captured our guests so perfectly. They made the most gorgeous wedding favours and we've received so many lovely comments from family and friends about how unique and special they were. Guests were genuinely amazed watching their illustrations come to life, and it added such a wonderful interactive element to our celebration.
Annabelle's attention to detail and ability to capture the essence of each person is incredible. Seeing all of the amazing content she has shared from our wedding on Instagram has been so special too, allowing us to relive those memories all over again.
If you're considering Abelias Art for your wedding or event, don't hesitate. Annabelle is a true talent and helped make our day even more memorable. Thank you for creating such beautiful keepsakes that our guests will treasure forever!

Lovely Illustrations!

Annabelle attended our wedding in June 2026 and illustrated so many of our couples! She was a great addition to the wedding and guests were very complimentary of her and her work!

Annabelle was also able to illustrate a picture of me, my mum and my nan as a special gift for my mum as my nan is no longer with us. I have attached a photo of this as it’s beautiful!

Highly recommend Annabelle, her work is lovely 💗

100% recommend, extremely talented, prefect wedding favours!

Annabelle was amazing from start to finish. She was upfront with pricing, explained in detail all of our options and arranged a video call before the day to perfect the plans and get to know us. Very prompt responses to all of my back and forth emails, and has a way with putting you at ease in all of the stress of wedding planning! She managed to tailor a package to completely meet our needs, completing an amazing 60 live illustrations on the day (and our wedding didn’t started until 4pm!) and the remainder afterwards so no one missed out! We were all so amazed with the attention to detail in her work and you can easily recognise each guest from the illustration. The perfect wedding favour!
She was honest with the fact we still had some numbers left in what we’d already paid for and offered for us to send some of our professional shots to make up the final numbers.
We feel so lucky we found Annabelle and will definitely be using again for any future events. Would highly recommend, book before it’s too late!

It was such a unique and personal way to welcome our guests and give everyone a special keepsake to remember the day by. We couldn’t recommend her enough!
