We were absolutely thrilled with how our illustration turned out. When I contacted Gillian I had a vision of what I wanted and she created exactly that. We used it instead of a wedding book and all our guests left lovely little messages in the panel around the pic. Its a beautiful reminder of a wonderful day. I would highly recommend it. x

Gillian was absolutely amazing! She live illustrated for our guests at our drinks reception. All guests were delighted with the fashion sketch. Our wedding was big with about 200 people. Gillian even took photos of guests who she didn?t get time to do. She sent me on any illustrations of guests who weren?t completed during the drinks reception time which I thought was really thoughtful. Would highly recommend Gillian! A really unique idea and a great way of capturing memories of your special day. Some of my friends even framed theirs. Thank you Gillian!

I got a piece commissioned from Gillian for a fabulous couple for their first year wedding anniversary. The Gillian?s attention to detail was perfect and she checked in with me at various stages to make sure the drawing was what I had in mind. The result was a beautiful drawing and a very happy couple.

Gillian illustrated guests at a recent wedding I attended - she was so professional and pleasant and incredibly talented. She really captures people in a very special way - and if you have a special outfit - or simply a suit it comes across amazingly.

Oh thank you Catriona, you’re so kind for getting in touch and posting a review! It was so much fun at the wedding and it was a delight to meet all of the guests! ???? Gillian
