Authentic, delightful & heartfelt Illustration and design for immersive storytelling, sentimental story-capture and nurturing imagination in everyday life.

I believe art is expression, and creativity is in our human-ness.

"If you are looking for an illustrator who is exceptionally talented, professional, and a joy to work with, we highly recommend Lauren."

Hi! I'm Lauren, an experiential storytelling artist and Live Illustrator. I can be hired for weddings to illustrate either your guests, unique moments or special details throughout the day. Visual storytelling is a timeless and thoughtful detail for your special celebration, that will be cherished for years to come.

I find the process of capturing life's beautiful moments in Illustration so wonderful, and I also pleased to be able to offer this as a live Illustration service. I have a very limited amount of date openings for custom illustration, immersive storytelling and capturing wonder, and I would love to do this for you.

How to experience my work:

Live Guest Portraiture

I Illustrate your loved ones, live, to capture the emotion, energy and love in the room. You can give these unique and one-of-a-kind portraits, or preserve them as a memento from your beautiful celebrations.

'The illustrations were just beautiful. Her style is so elegant and she captured everyone so perfectly. Our guests were genuinely thrilled to take their portraits home, and it felt so nice giving people something so personal and meaningful as a keepsake rather than a traditional favour.'

- Pippa and Ethan

Moment Illustration

Ceremony, Drinks Reception, First Dance or unique moment - I set up discreetly and capture as the plans unfold before me. Or, we combine the elements and create a unique storytelling piece with little nods to moments throughout your day.

All moment illustrations are a blend of onsite and studio time work, finished with professional framing and courier delivery.

Illustrate our Day

Hire me to document you day in immersive visuals. this isn't just storytelling for years to come, it's story capture, the art of witnessing the magic in the moment and portraying it on the page. Available as one large illustration or a collection of small, montage-style moments, these illustrations lean on the trust of an artist and my keen eye for noticing the little details. A truly unique and one-of-a-kind portrayal.

"On the day itself, she fit in so seamlessly and created such a lovely atmosphere during the drinks reception. Guests absolutely loved watching her work; it really drew people in and gave everyone something fun and different to enjoy while mingling. It was such a great talking point and kept the energy buzzing."
