    Talented illustrator

    We were absolutely thrilled with the save the date illustration Pepper created for us. She captured the mystique of the venue right down to the wildflowers that will be in bloom for the ceremony. Moreover, she is easy to work with and ahead of deadline!

    the highlight of wedding planning so far! absolutely in love!

    WOW! Let's start with the obvious - Pepper is an incredibly talented artist, and so original, too! Her work immediately stands out from everything else out there. If you're looking for a gorgeous piece of custom artwork to commemorate your wedding (or to share an invite / save the date with loved ones) that you can keep and display forever, then you MUST work with Pepper. Using her for our Save the Dates was the very best way to kick off wedding planning and make our day so special from the get-go! Now to talk about actually working with Pepper. She was SUPER responsive and made clear that our happiness with the final piece was her top priority. She listened to exactly what we wanted and even created several mock ups for us to choose from. They were all so good, it was nearly impossible to choose which we liked best! She also made everything so easy - from custom fonts to text placement to printing (again multiple options so we could choose!!!). She was an absolute dream to work with. I have seen other couples use artists for custom pieces and the quality of the artwork/final product doesn't come even close. YOU MUST WORK WITH PEPPER!

    Pepper Tharp Illustration's reply:

    Thank you Chloe, I’m so happy for your future life adventure with your adorable groom to be! I loved working in your invite❤️

    Amazing Experience with the Talented Pepper!

    I worked with Pepper for our wedding and she was an absolute dream! She was super responsive and professional when I initially reached out to her and helped us to come up with a plan to seamlessly incorporate her live illustrations into our day. The pieces she created on our special day will be cherished by us forever. We can't wait to surprise both of our mothers with their portraits captured by Pepper during our day. She is incredibly talented and I would recommend her to anyone!

    Pepper Tharp Illustration's reply:

    Awwww you are so amazing, I loved every minute of my time with you! So happy you love the illustrations! Your day was over-the-top exquisite in every way Bo!

    Wedding gift

    Pepper did an illustration for my friends wedding gift. She took such attention to detail and took into account personalization I wanted as well.

    Pepper Tharp Illustration's reply:

    Thank you Grace, I loved illustrating the Maxwell Mansion for you, what a beautiful wedding venue! Since I worked from your photos and links I was able to spruce the place up a bit to make it a super cute wedding gift!

    Thank you Natalie, I loved working on The Hewing Hotel Illustration for your friend's urban wedding. It was fun to have the fall colors and sunset sky to create a warm ambiance to the piece. The prints turned out beautifully!

    The perfect bonus on your wedding day!

    Pepper! First off, a stylish, beautiful woman that was responsive and incredibly easy to work with leading up to the wedding day! As soon as I saw her quick and beautiful illustrations, I was blown away! I just saw a sneak of all of the illustrations she is sending to the bride and groom and I am incredibly obsessed. She is worth every penny and she's such a fun addition to any event!

    Pepper Tharp Illustration's reply:

    Thank you Laine, I was honored to be part of your beautiful event at the Hutton House. “Live-painting” for Bo & Trevor’s wedding with all the gorgeous finishes you created were so inspiring.
    I thank you all for being so welcoming making it all such a wonderful experience!

    Gorgeous treasured artistey

    Pepper is not only amazing to work with but the quality of her work is absolutely gorgeous. I received an illustration from Pepper of our venue with date/ names as an engagement gift. I was able to get this enlarged and use as a welcome sign for our reception. I also worked with Pepper to create a gorgeous illustration of one of my favorite photos of my mother and I from our wedding day as a gift to my mom. She loved it so much she cried happy tears. If you are looking for a romantic and special way to do something unique for your wedding (invitations etc.) or as a gift for loved ones I can’t recommend enough!

    Pepper Tharp Illustration's reply:

    Katie, Your day was ever so lovely, I was honored to help create memorable illustrations for you two to have as cherished memories. How fun to paint your venue, The Calhoun Beach Club on a romantic summer's evening. Best wishes to you and Matt!

    Pepper Tharp original art for weddings

    Pepper is amazing- as a creative artist-illustrator! She was super prompt on delivery of our daughters wedding save the dates and wedding invitations. She sent a file that we took to the printer-it was perfection plus! The happy couple even printed a copy of the original art, framed it, and it has a place of honor in their new home!

    Pepper Tharp Illustration's reply:

    It was an honor to create the Japanese inspired floral artwork in mixed media for your daughter’s Garden wedding at Belmont Manner MD. I was happy to do the layout, design and pre press work to deliver files to their printer.
    Best wishes to the lovely couple!

    Pepper's work on our Save The Dates and Invitations was amazing. Beyond the work turning out to be beautiful, she was responsive and genuinely took our feedback into consideration. When she spotted a very minor error - one we didn't notice - she was quick to make the change. We have heard many compliments from our attendees about how they turned out, and we are very grateful we asked Pepper to work on them.

    Pepper Tharp Illustration's reply:

    Thank you Aaron, your garden wedding at a Baltimore Mansion was a perfect challenge for me. Your elegant taste with a bit organic twist was just the ticket for the mixed media eastern style floral painting on the craft colored paper. Loved that you actually had the file printed as art, meaning you didn't print on brown paper, you took my files and printed the entire colors sheets with font! Wow!

    Custom illustrations for bridesmaids

    Pepper created custom illustrations for all of the girls in our bridal party. Not only did she do a wonderful job (her attention to detail was impeccable and they turned out so cute!), but she is so sweet and was such a pleasure to work with. These made the perfect gift and keepsake for my bridesmaids!

    Pepper Tharp Illustration's reply:

    Thank You Amanda, I loved working with you two! What a beautiful wedding party you had and it was so much fun illustrate each one's portrait in their bridesmaids dresses..oh, and that gorgeous elegant farm wedding was simply breath taking!

    Pepper created custom illustrations as a gift for my 7 bridesmaids and personal attendant. She did such a fabulous job and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her attention to detail made each illustration so unique to the girls and they made the absolute perfect gift. Pepper was so sweet and thoughtful and you can tell she really put her heart into the work. I hope to have an excuse to work with her again in the future! THANK YOU, Pepper!

    Pepper Tharp Illustration's reply:

    So much fun to illustrate your Bridesmaids for your gift to them. I think we had about 9 girls I painted including your wedding planner and stylist. Congrats to you two cuties!

    Pepper took a wedding photo of two friends and turned it into a custom watercolor piece as a belated wedding gift. It turned out beautifully and they loved how unique it was.
