I recently painted at a HUGE Indian wedding which was a fantastic thing to be a part of. I also love to travel so being flown in and out of Belfast on the same day has been equally exciting :)
Cute, classic, illustrative, fun, uncanny
I am most proud of the joy I bring to guests, seeing their fanciers light up as they see their illustration.
Where possible, book well in advance. In my experience, wedding dates - especially in wedding season book up years in advance (most likely preaching to the choir)
I love when people include their pets. A recent wedding I attended had their dog as best man.
I like to arrange a call if possible to chat openly and get to know the couple. I consider my job to me playing my part in making their day magical to I genuinely do everything in my power to make that happen. An open dialogue is great and I pride myself on fantastic communication every step of the way.
My job requires a lot of focus but I have been told watching me work is an incredible thing to witness (not my words haha). People enjoy watching the speed and skill I have gained over the years of painting illustrations.
The wedding I attended in Belfast was at a venue I describe to everyone as "basically Hogwarts" - this has been my favourite.
Once, the head Bridesmaid could not attend as she had broken her leg last minute. Instead she created the most fantastic video message where she pulled out a guitar and began playing lots of their favourite songs along with her incredibly talented band.
My whole job is my party Trick! :)
