Live Wedding Painting

---

Imagine walking into your reception and seeing your most precious moment—your first kiss, your walk down the aisle, or your first dance—slowly coming to life on canvas. Live wedding painting is a form of performance art where I capture the essence, movement, and emotion of your wedding day as it happens.

While a photographer captures a second in time, a live painter captures the soul of the room. But for me, the magic doesn't stop at the surface of the canvas. To truly make the moment last, I invite your guests to sign and leave handwritten messages on the back of the painting.

Think of it as a hidden treasure: Imagine your family generations from now, taking that painting off the wall and turning it over to discover a note from a great-grandmother or a heartfelt wish from a dear friend. It transforms your masterpiece into a living heirloom—a beautiful bridge between your wedding day and the legacy you are building together.

I don't just paint you a picture, I create a work of art for you, and the love that goes into those guest signatures elevates your work of art into a time capsule for generations to discover!

Wedding planning and decision-making can be overwhelming, so I've streamlined my booking process to help you develop or clarify your vision for your painting, select the perfect canvas size for your space, and book your date quickly and without hassle. Don't worry, I'll guide you through this no-stress process.

It all starts with an Inquiry. We’ll hop on a call to share our visions and make sure we’re a perfect match. If we align, we’ll choose the package that fits your day best.

• Secure the Date: A deposit locks in your wedding date on my calendar.
• Customizing Your Art: We’ll decide on your canvas size and which specific moment you’d like me to immortalize (the ceremony, the first dance, etc.).
• Flexible Logistics: I’ll draft a contract with a payment structure that works for you. I’m very flexible! My only requirement is that the balance (minus a $300 retainer) is paid by the wedding date, with that final $300 due once the painting is complete.

One month before your wedding, we’ll have a Details Call. This is where we finalize:

• The Look: You can share photos of your dress, tux, and color scheme so I can prep my palette.
• The Placement: We’ll coordinate where I’ll be set up (or I can work directly with your planner).

• The Setup: I arrive 1–2 hours early to "map in" the background and capture the vibe of your venue.
• The Moment: When your chosen moment happens, I snap a reference photo and get to work!
• The Guest Experience: While I paint, your guests are invited to sign and leave messages on the back of the canvas.
• The Big Reveal: We’ll coordinate a set time for a "Big Reveal" so your photo/video team can capture your reaction to the progress!

To ensure your portrait is gallery-quality, I take the canvas back to my studio for the fine details and finishing touches.

• The Final Look: Once it’s ready, we’ll do an in-studio showing (if you’re local) or a Zoom reveal to make sure you love it.
• Varnish & Delivery: After the final look, I apply a professional protective coating. Once dry, I’ll deliver your masterpiece via our pre-arranged method!
