Exciting News! I had the privilage of drawing at the UK Weddings and Honeymoons awards at The Dorchester in London on 13 February 2025. Pictures of this wonderful occasion are on my website.

Matthew Slater: Sketch Artist offers a VERY UNIQUE AND DIFFERENT take on your wedding day to help you remember the wonderful occasion alongside your other photos or videos.

What do I do?

​I capture special moments as a photographer would do, except I draw them instead, creating memories of the atmosphere and vibe of your event.

I sketch anything I see which will recreate the story of your day – beautiful venues, stunning table decorations and flowers, guests chatting and dancing, impressive wedding cakes, late evening nibbles, classy hats and outfits, and those special individual touches you have chosen.

I work quickly and unobtrusively, and I like to be there for the whole day to capture as much as possible, creating around 40+ reportage style sketches.

My pictures will tell your story in a way that photographs are not able to do. Other artists may draw caricatures of guests as entertainment but I am passionate about the whole experience and how all elements of the day interact to create a visual feast.

Ultimately, it is about creating memories for the happy couple (or whoever I am drawing for).

Personalised pictures of your wedding day would make an ideal gift for the happy couple. Not only are they a unique gift for those ‘who already have everything they need’, but the pictures would be long treasured and remembered. Why not add wedding sketches to your wedding present list, or suggest it to your favourite auntie who wants to buy you something very special?

What is your style?

Quirky, fun, light-hearted, characterful! A lively mix of Quentin Blake meets Ronald Searle. I work quickly and intuitively - this brings my work to life in a very free and expressive style.

How do I work?

Using an iPad or a sketchbook with pen/ink/watercolour, I can potentially create around 40-50 unique images of your special day. I work fast, and what I draw on the day is what you get.

What do you get from me?

Everything I draw on the day: all original sketches, all images digitally, a presentation photobook, a framed montage… you can decide how to add them to your other collections of memories.

Where am I based?

Luton, Bedfordshire.

Do contact me for a chat if you’d like to understand more about how I could enhance your special day.

Please note: I have a full-time job as a Graphic Designer and so weekday bookings will be limited.
