I'm Caleb Simmons, a live wedding portrait illustrator based in Canterbury, Kent, working across London and the South East. I've worked as an illustrator for over 15 years, drawing for clients including Unilever, Channel 4 and Barclays, and hold an MA in Illustration and a BA in Fine Art.

At weddings, I draw your guests by hand as the day unfolds. Each portrait is finished on the spot and slipped into an envelope for them to take home — a small, personal keepsake made in the room where it all happened. I work quietly and calmly, fitting around your photographer and timings, and the priority is always likeness and memory over novelty.

I'm drawn to weddings that feel personal and considered: houses and barns in Kent, townhouses and hotels in London, places with character. If you'd like quiet live portraits on your day, I'd be glad to hear about your plans.
