Why live wedding painting?
Let’s face it: memories may fade… photos may lay forgotten… the wedding day can be a blur! Slow it down and breathe it all in with me as I paint your bespoke work of art with care and intention. Your entire event will be elevated with a one of the most personal touches imaginable - a customized, one-of-a-kind painting created live, on-site.
These paintings are completed on a stretched, gallery-wrapped canvas using artist and professional grade paints. The focus is on you as the newlywed couple in detailed portraiture. Will it be it your first kiss? Your first dance? Your grand entrance?
No matter what special moment or scene, you and your guests will be captivated the entire time. You will all get to admire the scene unfolding on the canvas throughout the night. Not to mention, they will talk about it long after the wedding day is over!
Wedding painting allows you to celebrate your authentic selves and capture your beautifully crafted day. What better way to retell all your stories and emotions, relive them as vibrantly as they occurred, and cherish them for years to come?

Composition & Planning:
This all starts with what canvas size you’d like in your live painting package.A few months before the date, I’ll send along a questionnaire to help get ideas flowing.
We’ll discuss what “moment” you’d love captured and in what poses you’d ideally like to be in (for example, facing each other). We’ll also discuss what background scene this takes place in.
Any other add-ons like guests or pets painted in detail will be discussed, if desired. These will need reference photos from you!
Right before the wedding, we’ll touch base on final details, and I’ll get my canvas primed for painting so we are ready to start!
