Live Wedding Painting

Live wedding painting is a unique wedding experience where your celebration is painted as it unfolds. While you enjoy your day, guests watch the artwork come to life - and you leave with a timeless keepsake that captures the heart of your wedding beyond photographs.

Each painting is carefully finished after the event to ensure it reflects the beauty and emotion of your day.

  •   A memorable experience guests love watching

  •   Custom details that reflect your story

  •   A timeless artwork for your home

This isn't just art — it's a lasting reminder of how your day felt.

Your Wedding Painting Experience

1. Discover Your Style

Begin by exploring my gallery, where you can see the love, light, and emotion I capture at weddings. If my work resonates with you and you can envision your own story on canvas, fill out the inquiry form—I can’t wait to hear about your celebration!

 

2. Connect & Dream

Once I receive your inquiry, we’ll set up a time to talk—by phone, video, or email—whatever feels best for you. We’ll dive into the details of your wedding day, the moments that excite you, and your vision for the painting. After our conversation, I’ll send a personalized quote for your preferred canvas size (larger sizes available upon request).

 

3. Secure Your Date

When you’ve chosen your canvas, I’ll provide a contract and invoice for a 25% deposit to reserve your date. Your remaining balance is due one week before the wedding. Once your date is secured, it’s official—you’re on my calendar, and I’m honored to witness and translate your love story into art.

 

4. The Wedding Day Experience

On your wedding day, I arrive about three hours before the ceremony to set up and begin the background of your painting. I capture reference photos of the space and the special moment your painting will preserve. Throughout the celebration, I continue painting in a spot where guests can watch and engage. After the festivities, the painting returns to my studio, where I add delicate finishing touches to ensure it perfectly reflects your day.

 

5. A Timeless Keepsake

Your painting will be completed and ready to cherish within 8–12 weeks. Carefully packaged, it arrives at your home as a lasting memory—a tangible reflection of the love, joy, and beauty of your wedding day, meant to be treasured for a lifetime
