I asked Hannah to recreate a photo of my husband proposing to me while on a camel ride in Egypt. We both absolutely love the picture and it has pride of place in our lounge. Hannah is so talented and professional, she came back really quickly with the final picture and we couldn't have been more pleased with it.

Description
Your photographer captures the day you got married… and I capture the moment you got married as a live, digital wedding portrait created on-site while your guests watch it come to life.
This is a beautiful blend of entertainment + keepsake: I’ll draw your chosen moment during the wedding (ceremony, a couple’s portrait with your chosen backdrop, or another key part of the day), with a second screen facing your guests so they can enjoy the process without crowding around. The finished artwork is then professionally refined after the wedding and delivered to you digitally, ready to print and keep forever.
So how does it work?
Step 1: Setup before the ceremony
Ideally, I arrive 1 hour before your ceremony to set up. I’ll need a table and chair, access to a power outlet, and space for my equipment (laptop, tablet + pen, and two monitors — one for me, one turned around for guests to watch).
Step 2: Capturing your moment
I’ll either:
- take my own reference photos during the ceremony, or
- do a quick mini photoshoot afterwards with the two of you (with a backdrop you choose), or
- work from a photo taken by your photographer (if you prefer).
Step 3: Live drawing (up to 6 hours on-site)
I’ll be on-site for up to 6 hours, drawing live while guests can watch the portrait develop throughout the day. I’m also happy to chat with guests as I work — it’s something most people have never seen before!
Step 4: Studio polish + delivery
Because the artwork takes several days to fully complete, I finish it after the wedding and aim to deliver the final digital files within 5 working days. Your files are sent via email.
What’s included
- 6 hours live drawing on location + final edits back in the studio
- A finished digital couple’s portrait based on your chosen moment
- Drawing timelapse video of your portrait forming (perfect set to a song of your choice, like your first dance)
- Digital files delivered by email, designed to be printable up to 1 metre tall or 1 metre wide (depending on portrait/landscape format)
Important note: Because the portrait is completed over several days, it isn’t possible for me to also draw guests during your wedding.
Travel & accommodation
I’m based in London, so accommodation is typically only needed for weddings outside London. Travel costs depend on location, travel time, and public transport access to/from your venue.
If you enquire with your date, venue, and the moment you’d love captured, I’ll confirm availability and talk you through the smoothest plan for your timeline.

Reviews
5.0 (3)Hannah's wedding portrait was easily the most unique and personal gift we received. She captured every detail of the photo it was based on, we looked exactly like ourselves. She also added her own flair and style by amping up the colours. It's like having an illustration of us from a beautiful, old storybook - we couldn't be happier. Additionally, the timelapse video of the portrait set to our wedding song was a lovely surprise extra - amazing to watch and see how she puts everything together. Hannah is very talented and I highly recommend her to anyone searching for an extra special wedding present.
Hannah's portrait spectacularly captures the magic of our special day! She was extremely professional throughout the whole process, and was able to work with us to incorporate any special details we requested. The timelapse she creates is even more special to have, and we look at it fondly on anniversaries, or whenever we want to remember our special day. We highly recommend Hannah to anyone. She made the whole thing a pleasure, and the keepsake you end up with is priceless!

Hi! Im Hannah, a freelance artist specialising in portraits (of both humans and pets!). I work free-hand, predominantly digitally as I feel there is more versatility with how the final image is used and replicated (can be printed on canvas/mugs/coasters etc). I aim to encapsulate the atmosphere of the occasion through my use of colour and fluid lines. I love creating artwork that touches the observer emotionally, as though the subject is communicating through their eyes!
