About

My name is Jana Forsyth, I am a professional live artist / illustrator based in Exeter, Devon. My mission is to make your big day even more fun and memorable by capturing your most special moments in art, that can be treasured for generations. My approach is very personal and I always make sure my services are good fit for your wedding! I am especially up for anything fun, unusual and non-traditional.

I OFFER THREE SERVICES:

  1. Documentary style, candid sketches that capture your day as it unfolds. The sketches will be bound into a hand-made album. I call this Story Of Your Wedding. The sketches will also be displayed at your venue on the day.
  2. Live guest portrait sessions in 3 different styles. I can paint portraits of individuals, couples, or small groups. They can be drawn live from observation (with the guests sitting for me) or from photos.
  3. Wedding oil painting from a photo of your choice. Not only it makes a special reminder of your wedding day, it’s also a beautiful piece of art you can display on your wall. I don't paint with oils on location for many practical reasons so a painting can be done any time after the wedding.


Live sketches and portraits not only provide great entertainment and an element of surprise on the day, but they also give you and your guests something to enjoy in the years to come.

I have decades of experience in art and have been illustrating weddings since 2018.

For the pricing and packages please visit my website, I have options for most budgets!

One of the top aspects of the wedding!

Jana is truly brilliant - she was so incredibly popular at our wedding with portraits and our guests all commented how fun and unique it was!
Right from the first contact Jana was easy to communicate with, responsive and flexible with her timings. She explained clearly the different types of sketches and how she does them, which made for seamless execution on the day that fitted perfectly with the venue. The digital portraits were a huge hit, because guests could have their copy right away to download.
She has a wonderful ability to blend in with the crowd and has a skilled eye for moments to sketch - she even got a sketch of me having my makeup done and my make up artist cried at how beautiful it was!
You can tell Jana is so passionate about what she does, and I know she’s still working hard after the wedding as new portrait sketches become available.
If you’re looking for incredible value for money, for something your guests will continue to talk about that also gives you amazingly unique keepsakes, do not hesitate to book Jana
Thank you so much again! Emily & Steve

Amazing experience

We booked Jana to sketch at our wedding, and it was one of the best decisions we made during wedding planning. The sketches are absolutely beautiful and incredibly lifelike. She captured some lovely moments of us and our guests, and guests really enjoyed looking at the display and watching Jana sketch live during the reception. Such a lovely person to speak to throughout the booking process and on the day, can't recommend Jana enough!

Beautiful Pictures!

I booked Jana for my daughter's wedding at the end of 2023.
I am just so glad that I did because the sketches have captured the day so perfectly! Not just drawings of people, but somehow capturing the whole essence of the day. The guests that did appear in the drawings have been delighted to have a picture of themselves of this quality!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
