WEDDING WORLDS

Fine art wedding portraits & invitations
Every wedding begins with something different: a couple, a place, flowers, a story or a memory. From these personal details, the dress, the music, the menu, the setting, the atmosphere, I create one or more custom illustrations which can grow into a visual identity that carries through different moments of the celebration. I do not work from templates. Every project begins and ends with your own story.
The first glimpse of a wedding to come.
There is a particular pleasure in opening an envelope that contains something precious, worth keeping. The first glimpse of a wedding to come.
Texture, colour, paper and special finishes give each piece its personality. A bespoke monogram, typography with just the right balance, a whimsical detail; are all things that make the invitation feel personal.
Every illustration is original and drawn by hand.
every little detail matters
I trained at Parsons in New York and have spent a lifetime working with images—in graphic design, fashion and creative direction. It has shaped the way I see: the balance of a composition, the character of a typeface and the importance of the smallest detail.
the wedding world begins inside the envelope
and continues at the table. Invitations, menus, place cards, seating plans and the smallest printed pieces each carry a part of it.
The portrait comes later
After the wedding. A glance, the dress, the flowers, perhaps a dog at their feet—all the details of a heartfelt moment gathered into a piece made to keep.
how it works
1. THE CONVERSATION
This is where you tell me about the wedding: the place, the atmosphere, the people, all the details that matter to you, and the stationery world you would like to create.
2. THE PROPOSAL
I prepare a proposal outlining the creative scope, the pieces included, the timing and the cost. We also establish the initial direction for the illustration, colour and typography.
3. THE ILLUSTRATION
I develop the illustrations, first in pencil for your approval. The drawing is then refined and completed, together with any additional illustrated elements.
4. THE FINISHED WORK
The finished illustration may become an art print, an invitation or part of a complete stationery suite. I prepare the artwork for each agreed use and, where included, supervise printing and specialist finishes.

AN ENGAGEMENT PORTRAIT & PARTY INVITATION
Ivan and Maria’s story is told through the little details that belong only to them: Luna and Romeo, their inseparable pets; references to their origins and the places they have lived, from the UK and USA to the Philippines, Ukraine and Uruguay; and, always, the sea, fishing and their boat.
