Wedding Artist & Illustrator

As a wedding artist, I create live illustrations of folks' special day and their guests.

John Cooper wedding artist and illustrator

A combination of guest portraits and live scribing what's happening in the room in real time. Capturing moments and messages that guests can see as the wedding unfolds.

Live art captures the atmosphere and emotion of the celebration in a way that can only be done with illustration, telling the story of the day in pictures. It can also be a natural conversation starter for guests and a touchstone throughout the day. All artwork created is owned by the person booking me, and can be used however they like once it's done, as a keepsake for themselves and a post-event gift for the guests.

What's drawn can take many forms, as unique as the event itself:

  • Capturing ceremony, vows and service.
  • First dance and entertainment.
  • Portraits of ushers and bridesmaids.
  • Cutting the cake and the best man's speech.
  • Special moments happening on the day.

I've been working as an event artist for over 10 years, tailoring the art to the needs of the event, either working solo or in cooperation with a wedding events team. Working from a set point in the room, roaming, or a combination of both. All artwork made on the day is kept by you.

    FAQ

    Yes, you keep all the art made on the day, to use as you wish.

    Yes, I can work digtally. Projecting art to a screen at your venue.

    I'll certainly aim to if there's enough time, but it's not always possible at events of over 30 guests.
