Your Wedding Illustrator – Carole
Hello, I’m Carole – a dedicated wedding illustrator with over two decade of experience in the creative arts. Alongside my trusty assistant (and daughter) Alicia we have the privilege of capturing the beauty and emotion of weddings across Ireland with timeless live illustration.
My Journey
My career has taken me from lecturing in fashion illustration in firstly The Grafton Academy of Fashion Design in Dublin to continuing within various colleges in London. I have worked as a stylist and set up and ran Personal Shopping departments in London’s West End. These experiences have deeply influenced my appreciation for elegance, detail and storytelling through my art.
Now based in Ireland, I channel that experience into creating bespoke illustrations that reflect the spirit of each couple and the magic of their celebration. It is a joy to craft artwork that becomes a cherished keepsake for our couples and their guests.
As for you? We look forward to meeting you soon and bringing your memories to life with beautiful illustrations your guests will remember forever

1. Creating portraits your guests will ‘really’ want
The keepsake they’ll ‘really’ want to keep!
For me it’s not just about changing the clothes or hairstyles on a basic figure over and over. To each drawing I bring an artistic sensitivity and a stylists eye for detail. Your guests put an effort into looking great and I love to translate that into their drawings with expressive poses to match!
And following your event I am always thrilled to hear about how your guests like to capture the beauty and joy of your event by framing their artwork!
“It was a pleasure to have Carole and Alicia as part of our wedding day. Our guests absolutely adored the personalised illustrations, many of whom have framed theirs as keepsakes. Carole has a unique talent and brought big smiles to our guests. Thank you for being part of our special day and helping us create amazing memories!” – Rachael & Colm, Tinakilly House, Co. Wicklow
2. An unforgettable one of a kind experience.
Step into the entertainment experience your guests will not have seen before!
An interactive experience as your guests mingle. There won’t be any small talk – just the thrill of seeing their portraits come to life – walking away with a professional one of a kind keepsake.
Unique, personal, and truly memorable, it’s guaranteed to get everyone talking as they show each other their personalised wedding favours.
Guaranteed to get everyone talking!
Their reactions say it all – watch the excitement that my illustrations will bring to your celebration!
“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
3. The ‘art’ of making everyone feel at ease
I love to connect with your guests. Rather than working quietly from photos, I am happy sharing smiles and stories as I see each personality shine. I believe every guest deserves to feel seen and celebrated as I capture their personality as well as their likeness. Each drawing becomes a genuine reflection of their joy on the day.
Each one will come away with their unique portrait that they will truly cherish as you relax knowing you are in safe hands.
On the Spot and Live
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. This also provides me with an insight into your guests’ personalities which I can include in the artwork along with the magic of the celebration.
By chatting with your guests in a warm friendly way, hearing their stories and uncovering their unique charm that make each portrait truly personal!
