Our Story

Aelia Event Illustration came to us in 2023 through a funny spell of fate, luck and coincidence. Ella had always had an interest in live sketching at weddings - with illustrations dating back to 2020. But it was never anything she pushed due to nerves of doing at it alone, and feeling at a loss of where to even start. So when Alexia’s neighbour mentioned having an illustrator at her wedding, the stars seemed to align. Our journey properly began in 2024 with our first wedding booking. So, this is only the beginning… 

This business is something we have put our heart and soul into. Our brand is built with so much love, and our ambitions are sky high. It’s so exciting to have every single one of you on this journey with us, and we cannot wait to see what the future holds for Aelia Event Illustration.
