LIVE WEDDING PAINTINGS
An original painting created live during your wedding.
Together, we'll choose the moment that best captures the story of your wedding, whether it's your first dance, first kiss, ceremony, private last dance, or another meaningful moment.
HOW IT WORKS
- WE CONNECT. We'll talk about your wedding, your vision, and the artwork you'd like to create. Once your date is reserved, I'll work with you to gather the details needed to begin planning your painting.
- WE PLAN THE PAINTING. Together, we'll review your venue, timeline, and the moment you'd like captured. We'll also discuss composition, important details, and any personal touches you'd like included so the finished artwork feels uniquely yours.
- I PAINT LIVE. On your wedding day, I arrive approximately one hour before my scheduled start time to set up my easel and materials. Throughout your celebration, guests are welcome to stop by, watch the painting evolve, and ask questions while I work.
- FINAL DETAILS. After your celebration, I'll bring your artwork back to my studio for final details and finishing touches. My priority is creating the strongest possible finished piece rather than rushing the artwork to meet a specific end time.
- FINISHING & DELIVERY. Once complete, painted artwork is allowed time to cure before being professionally varnished and carefully prepared for delivery.
I attend every live wedding with an assistant so I can remain fully focused on creating your artwork while they help with setup and event logistics.
LIVE GUEST PORTRAITS
Expressive 8.5 × 11 oil pastel portraits created live during your celebration.
Each portrait is hand drawn in my signature style, giving your guests a one-of-a-kind keepsake they'll enjoy long after your wedding day.
HOW IT WORKS
- WE PLAN. Before your wedding, we'll discuss your timeline, portrait session, and any guests you'd like prioritized, such as parents, grandparents, or members of the wedding party.
- I DRAW LIVE. During cocktail hour or your reception, my assistant welcomes guests, manages the portrait queue, and photographs each guest or group while I focus on drawing. Guests are also welcome to sit for their portrait and watch the artwork come to life.
- PORTRAIT PICKUP. Completed portraits are packaged in a protective clear sleeve with a backing board so guests can safely enjoy the rest of the celebration before taking them home.
- STUDIO COMPLETION. If you'd like portraits for more guests than can be completed during your celebration, my assistant can photograph additional guests during the event, and I'll create their portraits in my studio afterward. Studio completion is available for an additional fee.
STUDIO COMMISSIONS
Prefer artwork created after your wedding?
Studio commissions offer the flexibility to create your artwork after the celebration using your favorite wedding photographs. This is a wonderful option for couples who prefer a fully studio-created piece or who didn't book live wedding art.
Available in acrylic on canvas or expressive oil pastel on archival paper, each commission is thoughtfully created in my studio with the time and attention every piece deserves.
The studio quotes commissions individually based on artwork size, composition, number of subjects, and overall complexity.
