About

Elm Clarke is a live wedding guest portrait service based in Suffolk, catering to couples looking to set their wedding apart. Gone are the days of fleeting party favours; now you can impress your guests with timeless, hand-painted portraits where each one is a generous A5 size, painted freehand in 5-10 minutes per person, in a style that is both whimsical and accurate. I take photos to work from so your guests don't have to wait in line but can come over to enjoy the live experience at their leisure.

Already a trusted supplier at three key Suffolk venue's, Elm Clarke can attend anywhere in Suffolk or Norfolk for cocktail hour (2 hours), a Half Day (4 hours), or a Full Day (8 hours) depending on your guest list size. For areas further afield, travel expenses may apply. Get in touch to reserve your date.
