About S Walsh Illustrations
Samantha’s beautifully drawn portraits of wedding couples and guests are a truly unique and incredibly special service for modern weddings.
Bridging the gap between entertainment and wedding favours, hiring a wedding illustrator means your guests have an interactive and wonderfully memorable moment of their own at your wedding reception.
They’ll also take home a treasured keepsake: a hand illustration of themselves in their wedding finery, which they’ll very often frame and keep on display within days of your wedding.
Samantha has delighted guests at wedding venues including Lartington Hall, The Manor House Lindley, Eaves Hall, the beautiful Hobbit Hill in Lancashire, Harrogate’s Rudding Park, Hellaby Hall, Thief Hall, Blackbrook Barns, and more!

Real customer testimonial for S Walsh Illustrations
“We feel so lucky to have found Samantha to do guest illustrations for our wedding. From the moment she arrived Samantha was warm, professional and friendly. So many guests commented on how much they loved their illustrations, and it was the perfect addition to the day. We were completely blown away by the illustration Samantha did for us, even including our little dog! If you’re looking for someone who is insanely talented, and also a wonderful person I would 1000% recommend Samantha! Thank you so much for being so incredible from our initial enquiry, right through to the wedding day” – Anna (Facebook review)
How live wedding illustration works:
- Guests are photographed prior to creating their custom portraits, so they are free to enjoy your wedding while their drawings are created.
- Samantha uses watercolour paint to illustrate every portrait by hand. Colours really bring each design to life, with final details like flowers making every piece unique.
- Newlyweds receive a 14×10″ bespoke couple illustration of their own as part of Samantha’s Live Illustration service, drawn before the wedding day – extra personalisation makes these once-in-a-lifetime drawings incredibly special!
