Live Wedding Illustrator Based in Surrey
I'm Zoe, a live wedding illustrator based in Coulsdon on the Surrey and South London border. I cover weddings across Surrey, South London, and within about an hour's drive of home. I'm passionate about this work and actively building my wedding portfolio, which means couples who book now get a dedicated illustrator who genuinely cares about getting it right, at a price that reflects where I am in my career.
A Favour Your Guests Watch Being Made
Live wedding illustration is exactly what it sounds like: I draw your guests by hand, during your reception, while they mingle. Each portrait takes around 5 to 10 minutes. Guests walk away with a personalised, hand-drawn keepsake. It is the kind of favour that actually gets kept.
It works as entertainment too. Watching an illustration come to life gives guests something to gather around and talk about. There are no queues, no posing, and nothing extra for you to organise on the day. I work around your guests as they enjoy themselves.
Real Weddings: Felbridge Showground
I've illustrated at Felbridge Showground in Felbridge, a relaxed and characterful venue a short drive from my base in Coulsdon. It was a great reminder of how well live illustration works outside traditional hotel settings. Natural light, relaxed guests, plenty of personality to capture on the page.
If your venue has a similar feel, a barn, a country house, a marquee or an outdoor space, it is exactly the kind of setting I love working in as well as the more traditional wedding venues.
Based in Surrey, Available Across South London and Beyond
I'm based in Coulsdon, right on the Surrey and South London border, which puts me within easy reach of a wide area. I cover Surrey and South London as standard and regularly travel to weddings across Kent and Sussex too. As a rough guide, anywhere within about an hour's drive of Coulsdon is well within range.
That includes areas like Croydon, Bromley, Reigate, Guildford, Crawley, Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks, as well as central and south London venues.
Travel is free within 30 miles of my base. For weddings a little further out, a small travel fee applies. I will always be upfront about this when you enquire.
If you are planning a wedding outside these areas, get in touch anyway. I travel across the UK for the right booking.
Packages from £300
I offer three packages to suit different wedding sizes and budgets.
Essentials from £300. Up to 20 illustrations over 4 hours. A great fit for smaller, more intimate celebrations.
Signature from £500. 20 to 40 illustrations over 6 hours. My most popular package.
Premium from £800. Up to 80 illustrations, designed for larger weddings where you want every guest to have a portrait.
Not sure which fits? Bespoke quotes are available. Just tell me about your guest list and I will work something out with you.
