About Your Wedding Illustrator
Hi I’m Carole and together with my trusty assistant (and daughter) Alicia, we are privileged to be invited to so many beautiful weddings all over Ireland.
I am a passionate wedding illustrator with over two decades of experience in the creative industry. I have had the privilege of working across multiple disciplines from lecturing in illustration, as stylist, operating personal shopping in London’s West End and exhibiting my artwork.
Today, I channel that experience into creating timeless bespoke wedding art for you and your valued guests to enjoy.
My Journey
I cannot remember not drawing! From the time I could hold a pencil I was always at the heart of everything I did. As a teenager I did illustrations of the latest pop stars for my school friends! It was no surprise then that after graduating from The Grafton Academy of Fashion Design that I spent over ten years there teaching aspiring young designers.
After getting married, I moved to London where I continued lecturing in multiple leading fashion colleges and institutions across London. I was invited to operate Personal Shopping in London’s bustling Oxford Street. This really deepened my understanding of fashion as storytelling.
Since returning to Ireland and launching independently, I feel incredibly grateful for what my career journey has always led me towards as I create the type of drawing that I see can make so many faces light up!
And as for you? Alicia and I cannot wait to bring the magic of live illustration to your special day!

“I want to say a huge Thank You for all the gorgeous portraits that you drew of our wedding guests. It’s so nice to hear that the guests loved them so much that they are getting them framed! It really added an extra special touch to our day! If we ever renew our vows, we will definitely be in touch!” – Diandra & Paddy, Luttrellstown Castle, Co. Dublin 
Why choose me?
Storytelling through Illustration
‘Wedding illustration is not just a service – it’s a memory captured’
With my background in fashion design, I automatically infuse every illustration with instinctive detail. Whether you choose my coloured or monochrome versions for your wedding, I create bespoke artwork that captivate your guests.
My style is fashion illustration inspired and to match your wedding mood you can now choose from either realistic or stylized versions.
“We wanted something really different for my guests but hit a brick wall. Then my best friend suggested Carole! Having her was the best decision we could have made. It made our day more memorable, seeing everyone’s faces light up! When we returned from our honeymoon, our incredible custom bridal illustration was waiting for us! I honestly cannot recommend Carole enough for making our special day unforgettable!” – Helena & Sean, Springfield Hotel, Leixlip
Conversations that inspire Portraits
An engaging and interactive experience
All my illustrations are hand drawn live in front of your guests, in real time rather than from photos. It is important for me to make the experience as interactive and as engaging as possible. I believe in engaging your guests by adding that important element of interaction to my work. This also provides me with an insight into your guests’ personalities which I can include in the artwork along with the magic of the moment.
By engaging with your guests in a warm friendly way I uncover their unique charm that make each portrait truly personal.
At the end, if you choose, you can have all the finished drawings displayed as a gallery to showcase all the completed illustrations. This creates a beautiful display wall of art for guests to enjoy and discuss. Another beautiful element to your special day!
Capturing moments, not just poses
Not just live sketches but heirloom worthy keepsakes
You can choose between colour or monochrome options of my illustrations or add more personal touches to make your order more unique to suit your vision for your wedding day. Personal touches can be incorporated into your illustrations such as your names, venue details, your favourite flowers etc. Just let me know what you would like, to make it feel more personal and bespoke to you. There is nothing I like more than chatting with you to see how we can work together to create a unique experience.
