About

Sara’s Sketchbook is a live wedding painting and illustration business in Kettering, Northamptonshire, run by myself - Sara. I cover all of the UK and destination weddings and I specialise in both live guest illustrations and live ceremony painting, offering an artistic and unique touch to your special day.

Services Offered

This unique form of entertainment captivates guests as they watch the painting develop throughout the day. Live ceremony painting can also help to include guests in your day that potentially may not have been able to make it as I can carefully add in extra subjects from a reference photo.

Sara’s Sketchbook offers two types of live ceremony painting:

  • Traditional one scene on canvas
  • Montage of different moments from your day in one canvas (e.g exchange of vowels, first dance, pets, floral arrangements etc.
  • Asian-owned
  • Woman-owned

Lovely guest illustrations

We booked Sara for our woodland wedding and all our guests really loved her water colour guest portraits! We chose to do these instead of traditional wedding flavours as we loved the idea that they will have something this special they could keep forever.
Sara was lovely and communication with her was great throughout. Thank you!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
