Frequently Asked Questions

How would you define your "style"?

Our style is fashion-forward and elegant. Our fashion illustrations capture guests looking their best, turning their style into a memorable couture experience. It’s not just a favor—it’s a keepsake they often frame.

What does the process of working with your company look like?

HOW IT WORKS – LIVE EVENT SKETCHING For live fashion illustration, each sketch takes about 10 -12 minutes per person (approximately 20 minutes for two people in one sketch). For larger events, I am accompanied by my assistant, who takes reference photos of each guest who wishes to be sketched. I only draw from photos that I, or my assistant take during the event, and those sketches are completed throughout the night on a first come, first serve basis. For guest photos that I am not able to complete during that time frame, I do offer an upgrade package that covers additional sketches to be completed afterwards and mailed to you to distribute how you see fit. We suggest with your thank you cards! We will have signage that explains the process to the guests. HOW IT WORKS – CUSTOM BRIDAL ILLUSTRATIONS Step 1: Contact me with the following information – illustration type & size – Reference images – Personalization & details – Timeline Step 2: Based on your request, I will send you a quote. To start working on your project, I require 30% down payment, which you can pay online through a custom link. Step 3: Review rough draft & provide feedback. Step 4: Final approval & balance payment. Once approved, your order will be packaged & shipped immediately!

A Little About Us

What makes you or your business stand out and why should a couple hire you?

Tina obsesses over every detail in her sketches, creating complete head-to-toe fashion illustrations that capture your guests’ uniqueness—from their hairstyle to outfit and accessories. There’s nothing more rewarding for her than seeing someone’s face light up with recognition or hearing they’ll frame her work. This attention to detail and the joy it brings people is what truly separates Tina’s artistic service and keeps her passionate about what she does.

What's a fun or unusual fact about you or your company?

We are a husband & wife team!

How did you get started as a wedding pro?

Tina Dillingham, co-founder & Illustrator of Keepsake Couture, attended the Fashion Institute of Technology and majored in Fashion Illustration. After FIT, she built her fashion career in apparel and jewelry design. Her passion for illustrating was reignited after turning a photo of her brother and his bride to be into a chic framed illustration. Their excitement after receiving the gift is what inspired her to keep creating modern, elegant keepsakes for others.

Share a piece of advice to reduce stress in the wedding planning process.

One piece of advice to reduce stress in the wedding planning process is to prioritize and delegate tasks. Couples should focus on what truly matters to them and enlist the help of trusted professionals, like Keepsake Couture, to handle the details and create memorable moments.

What's your favorite wedding tradition and why?

The dress of course! It symbolizes love and the beginning of a new chapter…and as an apparel designer by trade, I also appreciate the intricate details and workmanship that goes into making one. They’re all beautiful in my eyes!

What are some of the best compliments you've received from your clients?

The best compliment I receive is when I’m live sketching and the guest says they’re going to frame it!

I can’t say enough good things about Tina because she’s just amazing! I was looking to surprise a friend with a picture of her and her daughter on her wedding day and I couldn’t be any more impressed. The amount of detail Tina captured was incredible. She even had it framed and gift wrapped for me. Tina is so talented and she is not only providing customers with illustrations but also with priceless keepsakes for a lifetime!

This was the hit of our wedding a personalized keepsake. All the guest were raving of the portraits and how cute they were. Definitely a very memorable gift to take home and frame than a small gift bag filled with something. Tina was truly amazing, very talented and her set up was beautiful and very professional. She was very communicative throughout the whole process. The portraits that weren’t completed she mailed to us and we sent them out with our thank you cards after the wedding. I would hire her again for a baby shower or different event.
