how it works

On the day I will arrive at the venue to set up half an hour early. I will need a table and somewhere with good lighting.

Guests are then able to approach me to request a portrait. I take a quick photograph of them to work from so nobody has to stand like a statue as I draw them and can enjoy the day.

I will make sure to get a photo of the newlyweds as I know it’s a busy day for you!

I display all the finished illustrations for everyone to see and guests can take their’s home at the end of the night in a compostable protective sleeve.

50 miles travel included from South London - after that there is a charge of 50p/mile.



BOOKING

Please fill in the contact form to enquire about availability of a date or send me an email. I’ll check whether the date is available and if the location works for me and get back to you. I aim to respond within 48hrs, but please bear with me if I take longer.

A £150 non-refundable deposit is required on booking to secure your date. The remaining balance is due six weeks before your wedding.

GALLERY


"Our guests absolutely loved having their portraits done by Chloe. So many people said how unique and special it was to have a portrait artist at the wedding. Some even said it was the best wedding favour they’d ever received! What really sets Chloe’s portraits apart for me is the physical characteristics she puts into them. Her portraits have a likeness yet are still playful and charming. Chloe herself has such a calming reassuring presence, she blended in seamlessly to our wedding and I can not recommend her enough!"

FAQs

Where can I cover?

I am based in London, but happy to travel a few hours from there. For any bookings that fall over 1.5 hours away from my location, only the Emerald or Diamond package is available. I often visit family in the north of England so please enquire if your wedding is further afield as I may be able to make it work. I am also available for destination weddings.

What materials do I provide?

I personalise watercolour, high-quality paper with your names and wedding date on. If you already have a monogram for your wedding I can add that on too. I supply compostable protective sleeves to put the illustrations in to take home.

What if some guests don’t get an illustration who want one?

I can take photos of the guests at the event and complete them at home and send them on to the newlyweds. For larger packages I will agree beforehand how many to complete at home. Additional illustrations can be purchased after the wedding for £8.50 per person if anyone missed out.

How many guests per illustration?

I work on the basis of 2 guests per illustration, but can also illustrate guests by themselves or in groups of three. This allows as many people as possible to take home a physical illustration. For families, I can add extra children/babies if needed.

What is a 'Special Moments' illustration?

Included in the Diamond package this is an illustration from your day of something you choose. It could be a bouquet, or a cake illustration or decor or part of the venue. This can also be added on to the other packages for an additional cost.
