Frequently asked questions
How does it work?
I typically begin painting during the reception or cocktail hour and continue throughout the scheduled timeframe. Guests will be delighted to know they won’t need to stand still while I paint. Instead, they simply pose for a quick photo at my station, which I use as a reference while they return to the festivities—or watch their illustration come to life in real-time.
Each fashion illustration is crafted with care and displayed on the table, creating a charming pop-up gallery. Guests love browsing the collection, spotting themselves and others, and taking home a one-of-a-kind memento of your celebration.
How far in advance should we book?
I recommend booking as early as possible, especially for popular dates. My calendar often fills up several months in advance. If your date is fast approaching, feel free to enquire — I’ll always do my best to accommodate where possible.
How many people can you paint?
I complete on average 8-10 single people or 4-6 couples per hour. This may vary depending on factors such as time engaging with guests, taking photos, break, changing set-up location.
What if I have a large wedding/event, can every guest be drawn?
I wish I had the capacity to paint everyone, but considering the previous answer, it is important to know my capacity is limited.
That being said, not everyone will want to be painted and will prefer to watch. There is also the option for me to complete guest illustrations after the wedding for those who missed out or didn’t have a chance to be painted during the event. Since this depends on my availability, it’s best to mention it when booking so I can plan ahead.
What do you need?
I kindly request :
- Work desk and a chair at seat height.
- Access to electricity
- Good lighting conditions
- Shaded area if the programme takes place outdoors.
- Decoration for my workplace is appreciated but not mandatory
What materials do you use?
I use high-quality, archival materials — from fine art watercolour paper to professional-grade paints and inks — to ensure each piece is a keepsake that lasts. Every element is chosen with care from the materials I paint with to the protective packaging your guests receive on the day.
Can you paint groups or children?
I typically paint a maximum of two people per illustration to ensure each piece is detailed and considered — occasionally three, if the composition allows. Toddlers and babies are always a welcome exception. I also kindly ask that each guest is painted only once, so more people have the opportunity to be included.
What are your prices?
Pricing starts at €650, with package options to suit your event. On average, I paint up to 8 guests per hour, depending on the level of detail and flow of the day. For a personalised quote and package options, please complete the enquiry form.
Is there a deposit?
A €200 deposit (€500 for international events) is required to secure the date. Remaining balance is due at least 7 days prior to yout event. Deposits are non-refundable.
Do you travel?
Big yes! I'm based in Limerick, Ireland but travel nationwide, and regularly overseas. I have had the pleasure of painting in Tuscany, Hawaii, Marbella, Palma and multiple locations in the UK.
I am excited to be painting at select events on the East Coast of America in 2026, if you're hosting an event there I'd love to hear from you.

What happens if you’re unable to attend due to illness or travel disruption?
In the rare event that I’m unable to attend, I’ll offer a full refund, the option to have guest illustrations completed after the event, or i will find an alternative artist, depending on what suits you best. Your experience matters deeply to me, and I’ll always communicate openly and make sure you’re supported either way.
Got a question?
No problem! Send me an email directly and I'll get back to you asap. Please include information about your event if it is in relation to a live illustration booking.
