Hey, I’m Rach!

Are you still looking for that extra special something for your wedding day? Something to WOW your guests, something that they have never seen before? If you're struggling for wedding favour ideas, or a special way to thank your family and friends, my live illustrations are the perfect combination of all round fun entertainment, and personal keepsakes that they actually want to keep.

I’m a live wedding illustrator based in Staffordshire, Cheshire, Derbyshire & Yorkshire.. and beyond! I travel all around the UK creating beautiful guest portraits in real time for your friends and family to watch come to life - and take home that very same evening.

Packages starting from £350, from as little as 3 hours to full day coverage. If you are looking at booking for a Desination Wedding, please enquire to discuss the options.

I specialise in live digital illustration for your guests, meaning your guests get a copy on the day and you get the digital copies too (or, you can opt to have them printed into a lovely little hardback book for your coffee table). .

I also offer bespoke illustrations, venue sketches and custom add-ons like table cards and signage, for an even more personal touch.

If you’d love a creative detail your guests will be talking about long after the confetti settles, get in touch to check availability - I’d love to hear your plans!

Special keepsakes

Rachel has been incredible from the moment we first got in touch. She provides several different packages, all fairly priced, and she went above and beyond by contacting the venue herself to confirm every detail. Her professionalism, organisation, and friendly approach have made the entire experience stress‑free. The guests were thrilled with the idea of having a memento of the day to take away with them. It added such a personal touch, and everyone commented on how thoughtful and fun it was.

Beautiful and elegant

From the beginning Rach was very approachable and professional in answering all my questions and replying quickly. She gave details about whats on offer and costs plus any additional add ons you could have such as extra studio time or a venue portrait.

The price was very reasonable especially when the end product was something to keep for a lifetime!!

My guests felt at ease approaching Rach to find out what she was doing but also in her care while she snapped their photo ready to create a memory of a lifetime.

The pictures were so detailed and timeless capturing so much of the day.

Rach added some extra beauty to our already incredible day and gave us the most amazing memories to continously look back on.

Highly recommend for anyone looking to add an extra special touch to their wedding day!!

Thank you so much
