What I do
Most booked
I paint your day live, at your ceremony, your first dance, or wherever the moment is, and finish a one-of-a-kind acrylic canvas for you to keep.

For your guests
I draw your guests as your day unfolds, on A5 or A4. Choose faceless or with faces, so everyone leaves with something personal.
From your photos
Got a photo that means the world? I’ll paint it in my studio as a keepsake or a gift, with the same care as a live canvas.
A painting of your day
Above all, it’s a beautiful painting of your day. On our calls I ask how you met, what you love and what makes you laugh, and if you’d like, I can tuck a personal touch into the painting: a book tied with red ribbon for the night you met, your houseplants creeping in at the edge, a golden snitch above the arch.
It’s never a given, just something I love adding when it fits.
How it works
Tell me your date and venue. I’ll reply personally to say whether I’m free.
We talk through your day, your people and the details you’d love hidden in the painting.
I join you and your loved ones on your day and paint the magic as it happens.
Eternal Love and Cherished Moments go home with you on the night. Studio-finished canvases usually arrive within 12 to 16 weeks, in a magnetic keepsake box with a handwritten note from me. In peak wedding season it can take a little longer, and I’ll always let you know where your canvas is.
Tell me your date and venue in my short enquiry form and I’ll reply personally to say whether I’m free.
Reviews
“Katie was phenomenal! Our guests were amazed at her and her assistance work. Every single painting (there were many) was brilliant. And we were so so thrilled with our special one!”
“She is amazing, one of the best choices I made was choosing Katie. She is a dream to work with and went above and beyond to make our day truly special, her artwork is amazing and our guests couldn’t stop being amazed.”
“I booked Katie to illustrate at my wedding instead of traditional favours for guests. Her process of taking photos then doing the drawings without guests having to wait around is seamless.”
Hello, I'm Katie
I trained in fine art, graphic design and illustration, but weddings are where I love painting most. I love being in a room where everyone is there for one couple.
I paint 30 to 50 weddings a year from my Birmingham base. I’ve painted all over the world, though mostly across England, and I still cry at every single one.
Studio commissions
Away from weddings, I paint commissions in my studio: couples and families, pets and homes, gifts and memorials, and your wedding venue.
Within 50 miles of Birmingham (B37) is included. Beyond that, travel is charged per mile, and I'll need an overnight stay if your venue is over 2.5 hours away.
A £200 deposit reserves your date. The balance is due four weeks before your wedding.
Every canvas comes in a magnetic keepsake box with a care guide.
