Pepper Tharp's skill with watercolor illustration showcases decades of honing her craft, and her artistic abilities are sans pareil. I've worked with her for many years in publishing and other commercial projects. Choosing Pepper to illustrate your wedding or event will ensure that your mementos reflect your excellent taste, captured in her distinctive style. She's also tremendous fun to work with ;-) !

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!

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!

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!

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!

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 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!

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!
