Wedding keepsakes your guests will actually keep
Hi, I'm Linda, fondly known as "The Wedding Illustrator" ✨✏️ I illustrate guests live and in person, inviting them to sit with me as their artwork comes to life in real time. It’s an experience many guests have never witnessed before — interactive, engaging, and woven naturally into the flow of the day.
Wow your family & friends with a personalised, live illustration experience 🪄
You’ve poured your heart into every detail of your wedding - and your guests aren’t just attendees, they’re part of your story ♥️ My job is to make sure they feel it.
As your live wedding artist I ensure illustration is drawn live in person (by me!) and gifted as a unique wedding keepsake your guests will genuinely cherish, but dont worry there is no waiting around. With a background in animation and storytelling, I focus on capturing personality, movement, and connection quickly— turning real moments into meaningful artwork. ✨
It’s unique, memorable, and adds a truly special moment to your celebration. ♥️
Meet your illustrator, Linda 👋🏻
"Established in 2016, I’ve spent thousands of hours illustrating weddings over the past decade, and I’m endlessly grateful to play a small part in such a once-in-a-lifetime day ✨ When I'm not drawing at wedding, I also draw for brands and creative agencies. I collaborate with CHANEL, Google, Diageo, L'Oreal, Grey Goose and create artwork for publishing. I rarely put my pencil down ✏️"

Linda was absolutely fabulous from day one. Her level of communication was unbelievable, she gave so much detail and had all questions answered before we could even ask them. She was consistently on the ball with everything. The illustrations she did for our family and friends were gorgeous and everyone really enjoyed getting them done! We really couldn't recommend Linda more for anyone's wedding, she was next to none!!! 5 stars all around!

Linda was absolutely amazing on the day! Our guests are all obsessed with their illustrations and many have them framed at home. It's the one thing that gets mentioned to us over and over again on how much they loved getting their illustration on the day. I would highly recommend Linda for your wedding!!!

Linda is such a welcome addition to a wedding day. She is lovely, the picture are a fantastic keepsake. Our guests kept coming to us to thank us when they realised that Linda was our gift to them.
We knew she would be a hit and we were so delighted with how excited the guests were to get their pictures done also.

Linda was part of our day on 16th February 2023 in Ballymagarvey Village and our guests have not stopped talking about her since! Linda is so professional and incredibly talented at what she does and was a joy to have as part of our special day. As the guests were called to dinner, we had a chance to catch our breath and she was able to illustrate us which was amazing. Everyone commented on what a nice touch it was to have an illustrator present and anyone who got their picture drawn was delighted with the end result. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Linda to anyone!

Linda is absolutely amazing, her drawings are fun and beautiful!! We wanted something special to us to share with our friends and family. Having kept caricatures from our travels Linda was the perfect addition to our day. Everyone loves their illustrations and we have a extra special memory and drawing to add to our collection. Thank you so much Linda!

Linda drew our wedding guests at Tinakilly in December 2022 (having postponed 3 times from August 2020). From the very first email, her communication was amazing and she was so accommodating with all of our date changes. Our guests absolutely adored her and thought that having a drawing of themselves was such an amazing keepsake from the day. Linda is SO talented and her drawings were incredible. She is also just a really lovely person and very kindly offered to draw myself and my husband after the original date and send it on, as we just didn't get time to sit down with her and get a drawing done on the day! Cannot recommend her enough, if I could give more than 5 stars I would!

I was delighted with Linda was available for our wedding. Linda is very professional and the quality of her work is exceptional. I was looking for something different to entertain our guests at at the reception and this worked perfectly! Linda was such a lovely addition at our wedding and is still one of the highlights from our day when we speak with our friends. It is lovely seeing the beautiful illustrations when we meet them. It was lovely working with Linda as she was so prompt in responding to my emails and sending over the designs. It is such a beautiful touch for a wedding as the guests have lovely personalised keepsakes from the day!

After meeting Linda at a wedding we were at in December 2019, I knew I?d love to have her at our wedding. Her illustrations are so perfect! We framed ours & it's up on our wall. I know that most of our guests, who were illustrated, have also framed theirs. It's such a personal touch & a lovely momento to have from your wedding day.
Linda was extremely accommodating & helpful as to what time etc we should start at & always got back to me promptly.
I would highly recommend Linda!

I could not recommend Linda enough, she is such a talent, friendly and professional! She added a really special experience to our wedding day. Our guests were delighted to have such a gorgeous keepsake to take home, everyone commented on how great the drawings were! She was kept busy all through our drinks reception, right through to dinner call. We didn't have time to sit with Linda on the day but she created our illustration from pictures, such a fantastic thing to do! Her communication was brilliant throughout and she was so organised, I knew we were in great hands! You will not regret booking Linda!

Linda was an absolute dream to work with! She was very quick to respond to inquires and any question that we had and was very clear with what to expect on the wedding day. Our guests are still raving about the illustrations they had done and we had the best time looking at each persons illustration. Everyone looked so perfect and her illustration style is amazing. We loved that she was willing to take a picture of us and illustrate us after the wedding so we could enjoy the party. I am so grateful we found Linda and I cannot recommend her enough!

Linda was outstanding from start to finish and was so helpful and professional. we had to postpone a few time and she sent us a lovely card which was total unexpected and very thoughtful. Her illustrations added such a lovely touch to the day and our guests were raving about them. She also did an illustration of me and my mum in advance, I gave it to my mum as a gift on the day. If you want to add an extra touch to your day that your guests will remember then you have to book Linda.

Linda was one of the first suppliers I booked when we set our first date back in 2019 as I knew I wanted her to be at our wedding - I just loved her style and originality, I had never seen anything like her work before at a wedding. We had some up's and downs with rescheduling and cancellations and rebooking new dates and Covid restrictions but in the end we found out a week before our date that Linda would be allowed, through all these ups and downs Linda was a true professional and nothing was an issue. On the day Linda was fabulous and our guests loved their personalised keepsake and we now have another fab piece of Linda's artwork to hang in our home! Would 100% recommend her for future brides and grooms for something different at their weddings!
