The Experience
Description
I've been an artist for as long as I can remember, trained professionally for five years, finishing with a first-class bachelor's degree and a distinction-level master's.
But what actually drew me to wedding illustration was love! Nothing makes me happier than watching two people find each other, and combining that with my art felt inevitable.
I illustrate live at weddings of every kind — traditional, cultural, eccentric, and everything between — bringing an inclusive eye to every couple, as a queer artist myself. I can't wait to work with you!
How it works
Step 1 — Planning your coverage
Once booked, we'll confirm timings, your guest count, and anyone you'd like prioritised — wedding party, close family, or any special requests.
Step 2 — Arrival and set-up
I usually arrive during your ceremony, so I can get set up and start photographing guests as they come out — ready to illustrate straight through the drinks reception, meal, and speeches.
Step 3 — Quick photos, no queuing
As guests come over, I take a quick reference photo so they can get straight back to enjoying the day. I work in fineliner and professional markers, giving each illustration a bold, colourful finish.
Step 4 — Singles, pairs, and full bodies
Guests can be illustrated as singles or pairs — full body on quality A5 card, or portrait style on A6. I can illustrate around 8–10 full body guests per hour, or 10–15 portraits per hour, so it's worth factoring that into your package choice.
Step 5 — Collection
Finished illustrations are available for guests to take home on the day — or you're welcome to keep them all yourself, entirely your call.
Packages
A beautiful A4 illustration of the wedding couple is included in all of my packages. This will be completed in my home studio after your wedding and sent to you free of charge after your big day.

Reviews
5.0 (6)Maddy was an incredible addition to our wedding day at Goldsborough Hall. Our guests absolutely loved their drawings and it was a real highlight of the day. Maddy also very kindly drew a special request as a surprise for the groom, which went down incredibly well!! We can't recommend her enough. Thank you so much!
Maddy came to our wedding in July last year at The Old Deanery. From the moment I first made contact with Maddy to enquire about her services, she was so helpful. She kept in touch with me in the run up to the wedding and liaised with the venue to discuss her position on the day. Our guests loved having a live illustrator and so many people commented on how unique it was. Maddy photographed then drew all of our guests so they could take the picture home as a keepsake of the day. I later commissioned Maddy to draw a larger picture of the venue to give to them as a gift! I would 100% recommend Maddy for any special events!
Maddy was a total hit at our wedding! Our guests absolutely loved getting to take away personalised illustrations, and Maddy was so professional and friendly throughout the process. Couldn't recommend booking her more!

Who am I actually booking?
You're booking your artist directly. TheWeddingPainters connects you with independent artists, and once you confirm your booking, your contract sits directly with the artist you've chosen. We handle the booking process and payment on their behalf, so everything stays effortless and in one place from enquiry to wedding day.
Why should I pay through TheWeddingPainters instead of paying my artist directly?
Paying through TheWeddingPainters keeps your deposit and payments secure, your agreement recorded in one place, and our team on hand to step in if anything about the booking needs sorting out.
If you pay your artist privately, by bank transfer or PayPal, outside our system, we lose visibility of that payment and our ability to help. That matters most in the moment you'd need us: if there's a dispute, or your artist doesn't turn up on the day.
Keeping everything on-platform is what lets us actually protect your wedding day, not just process it.
What should I do if my artist asks me to pay them directly (bank transfer, PayPal, etc.)?
TheWeddingPainters is a booking platform – we help you and your artist keep the booking and payments clearly recorded. If payments happen privately, they won't appear in our system and it may limit how much we can assist if anything needs to be checked later.
If you ever feel unsure or pressured, please contact us and we'll take a look.
Will I lose any protection if I pay outside TheWeddingPainters?
If you pay your artist directly (for example by separate bank transfer, PayPal or cash), those payments won't show in your TheWeddingPainters booking record.
That means:
- We can't see what was paid, when, or on what terms
- It can be harder for us to help if there's a disagreement about what was included, what's still owed, or whether a refund is due
For that reason, we strongly recommend keeping all payments for your booking within TheWeddingPainters, where we process payments on your artist's behalf and keep a clear record for both of you.
