Incredible, highly recommended ⭐️

Owen has been fantastic from when we booked him, to the wedding day itself. We booked to have an illustration of our ceremony and guest portraits after the ceremony. He went above and beyond and we couldn’t have asked for anything more. It was the perfect addition to our day, giving our guests something completely unique to remember our day by… and most importantly some incredible art to display in our home. His talent is incredible and he is a genuinely lovely person to interact with guests whilst doing their portraits. Everyone loved it! We would highly recommend him to anyone considering adding that little extra something to their special day (or other events).

We are so happy we booked Owen for our wedding.
As soon as we got engaged we knew we wanted Owen to capture our day. Owen did the most beautiful picture of our ceremony that we will forever cherish. Plus all our guests commented on how fun it was to have their portraits drawn at our drinks reception- the illustrations were the perfect takeaway for our guests.
Owen was so kind, friendly, and professional - a really great addition to any special occasion. I would recommend Owen to anyone and everyone getting married or wanting a lovely commission piece.
Thank you Owen!

Brilliant unique way to remember the wedding day!

We are so pleased we booked Owen to illustrate our wedding and to do live illustrations of our guests. He was efficient and professional when we booked and organising our wedding and on the day was an absolute delight! All of our guests loved Owen and a few Artists and Fine Art graduates at our wedding commented on his talent! So pleased we booked. Thank you!

Fantastic!

I recently commissioned Owen to do a couple’s portrait as a wedding gift. I’m so pleased with the portrait! Owen was easy to communicate with throughout the ordering process and the portrait arrived very well packaged. Thank you, I’m sure my friends will love their present!

Thanks for the review Olivia, much appreciated!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Highly recommend

We decided to have quite an intimate wedding, and wanted to find something a bit different for our guests to experience. We were so pleased we found Owen. The guest portraits went down so well. There was a constant queue all day/night, and some of the family even got into elbow fights to get to the front of the line!! The drawings were such a lovely keepsake for our guests, much better than any of the favours we’d seen.

The cherry on top of the cake was the speech illustrations. We’d spotted them on Owen’s page before we booked him, but those he did on the day just blew us away. Such an amazing way to capture those special memories.

Owen was so easy to work with. Great communication, but also just really happy to turn up on the day and crack on. Just what you need when you’re juggling life and wedding planning. Highly recommend Owen if you’re thinking about booking him for your wedding.

Fantastic talent and a unique wedding experience

Owen was fantastic from start to finish. He was punctual, friendly and kept our guests entertained. All of our guests were so thrilled with their portraits and he constantly had a queue of guests waiting. I’m only dissapointed we didn’t hire him for longer. I would definitely recommend Owen to anyone who wants something unique to offer their guests.

Owen’s work added a whole other dimension to our wedding day! His work is stunning, our guests commented how special the experience was, and our gift box of final illustrations is something we will frame and hang forever!

Thank you so much for the review Claire, I was honoured to be a part of your wedding and illustrate your guests and scenes from your very special day!

Very popular with our guests!

Owen came to our wedding to create guest portraits and he was incredibly popular with everybody! He had a queue for most of the reception! Me and my wife didn't find time to visit Owen ourselves but he created a painting of us while we did a short speech, which we were so grateful for as we thought we had missed out!
So many people said how precious it was to have a physical momento of the day that was so personal. Thank you Owen!

One of the best additions to our wedding day!

Owen was an absolute dream to work with before, during and after our wedding.

We were so excited for our guests (and us) to have their portraits drawn at our wedding and Owen did not disappoint. We had so many compliments about having Owen at the wedding and lots of happy people showing off their pictures. He was cool, calm and collected despite an ever growing queue of guests, people wanting to watch and chat and last minute changes in timings.

Thank you so much Owen, the day wouldn’t have been the same without you!

Thank you so much Amelia & Jonathan. I loved drawing your guests and yourselves at your wonderful wedding. It was lovely to be a part of your special day!

Don’t debate, just do it!

We first met Owen back in 2019 at a wedding fair and loved the quirky idea of giving illustrations to our wedding guests as wedding favours. Our wedding wasn’t until 2022 in the end (COVID etc) but Owen’s understanding and communication throughout this period was so helpful. Owen definitely wasn’t bored on the day and the guests loved their illustrations. We would definitely recommend Owen to anyone that asks, he’s friendly polite and clearly loves what he does, which is good as he’s simply great at it!

Owen was brilliant to work with and our guests absolutely loved their artwork. If you want something really special and unique, it really doesn't get any better than Owen's live illustrations.

Highly recommend

My son and his gf recently married and, as a present to them, I booked Owen as a surprise for them. They were absolutely thrilled. Although quite a distance from Owen's base he was more than happy to travel to Kent.
The artwork that Owen produced was outstanding. The guests were amazed at the portraits he done on the spot.
I highly recommend Owen to anyone who want something a little bit different on their wedding day. A most excellent illustrator.
Thank you Owen.
