Superb illustrator for wedding - live portraits - guests will love!
Elm Clarke was the illustrator for our wedding at Hengrave Hall in Suffolk in Dec 2025. Throughout our engagement with her, Elm's communication was excellent and we had total trust that she was self sufficient and not something we needed to worry about on a hectic day!
Elm created illustrations for around 90 people and seeing these live whilst our guests had their cocktails and canapes was a real talking point. The pictures were our wedding favours to our guests and made such a special memento for them to take home, rather than perhaps something cheap or impersonal like a bag of sweets. Every conversation about our wedding post the day has included a compliment to Elm!
We also felt a very fair price for the service she provided compared to others we looked into. Would wholeheartedly recommend her to any future couples for their big day, or indeed corporate clients etc. Work was of a high quality as was the set up on the day.
