Meet Emily, the illustrator behind Pud & Ink
Welcome!
Growing up, our home was always filled with the paintings of my great-uncle. He was a talented oil painter whose work was exhibited at the Royal Academy, and a big inspiration in my own creative practice.
I first began with traditional calligraphy, creating wedding place cards and other paper projects. Then, whilst home in The Cotswolds one afternoon, I picked up a set of watercolours - and here we are!
Today, I specialise in bespoke wedding stationery and one-of-a-kind art commissions. My favourite subjects to paint are buildings and places with meaning, weaving together delicate illustration and thoughtful design to create keepsakes that tell your story.
And the name? Pud comes from my childhood nickname, while Ink is a nod to where it all began with calligraphy.

working together
I know planning a wedding, crafting a special celebration or finding the perfect gift comes with plenty of moving parts. That’s why I’ve designed my process to feel smooth and stress-free; clear steps, collaborative feedback, and guidance at every stage. You’ll always know what’s next, while still enjoying the magic of watching your ideas turn into art.
I’m detail-obsessed (in the best way), and you can rely on my expertise to suggest meaningful touches you may never have thought of, but will make all the difference.
Why bespoke?
Your wedding stationery is the very first glimpse your guests will have of your celebration - a chance to set the mood and say this is us. And a commissioned artwork? It’s more than a picture, it’s a little bit of your story turned into a keepsake.
That’s why I don’t work with templates or use shortcuts. Each piece I create is painted by hand, inspired by your story, and designed to feel timeless, personal, and full of heart.
