When planning your wedding, you probably haven’t thought about having a wedding artist as part of your day, as this isn’t something you see at every wedding.

I saw an advert for the first wedding fayre taking place at Barleylands and made some initial enquiries to see whether it would be a good fit for me as a live wedding artist.
