Report
We met Mark at our friend Belinda and Carl's wedding 5th July 2019. Mark is such a lovely man, he's chatty and makes you feel relaxed while he is drawing you. His caricature's are fantastic and we are so happy with ours it's going in a frame. We would recommend him to everyone. Thanks so much for making our friend day so much fun. All the best.
