The Wedding Painters Timeline

The Idea was Born

Our idea was born when our co-founder Huw noticed something he had never witnessed before when at his sisters beautiful wedding, an artist painting the scene of the happy couple walking away from the church having just got married! After chatting with his sister, she explained how difficult it had been to find an artist who matched her style. An idea was born!

The Problem

After delving deeper into this conundrum, Huw mentioned this issue to his cousin, who happens to be an aspiring artist in North Wales. She solidified the idea as she explained how difficult it is for aspiring artists to make a living doing something they are passionate about as there are no dedicated platforms. Putting these two together now made it clear what the next steps were to fix this problem.

The Team

To turn this idea into a reality a team would be required as it was too difficult a task to take on alone. Many tasks would have t be undertaken, such as building the website, performing market analysis, gathering information on weddings and artists needs and then finally putting this all together and spreading the word. Luckily there were a few candidates our co-founder could call upon for help.

The Solution

Development began, starting with building the platform which artists who are looking for work within the wedding industry can use. A platform which allows them to showcase their portfolios and take bookings from couples looking to commission a live wedding painter. The idea had finally turned into a reality, and hopefully one that will be beneficial to two industries!

The Big Reveal -
Spring 2023

So after months of planning, recruiting and testing the idea was finally ready to reveal. As you can see our platform is now live, and although we are still in the process of recruiting and reviewing applicants, we hope to conclude this in a months time for all to see! We are very excited about the future and would love for you to be a part of it.

More updates to follow soon.

Kind regards

Lucea drew a portrait for me and it literally got me on my knees. It was clear that the Spirit breathed into it as it carried power and His presence. It was an immense blessing for me and I'll be forever grateful for the generosity of her time creating this and for the great talent Yahuah has given her.

Hannah’s portrait spectacularly captures the magic of our special day! She was extremely professional throughout the whole process, and was able to work with us to incorporate any special details we requested. The timelapse she creates is even more special to have, and we look at it fondly on anniversaries, or whenever we want to remember our amazing day. We highly recommend Hannah to anyone. She made the whole thing a pleasure, and the keepsake you end up with is priceless!

Hannah's wedding portrait was easily the most unique and personal gift we received. She captured every detail of the photo it was based on, we looked exactly like ourselves. She also added her own flair and style by amping up the colours. It's like having an illustration of us from a beautiful, old storybook - we couldn't be happier. Additionally, the timelapse video of the portrait set to our wedding song was a lovely surprise extra - amazing to watch and see how she puts everything together. Hannah is very talented and I highly recommend her to anyone in search of an extra special wedding present.

Jacob did such an amazing job on our wedding day, interacted with our guests and even stayed later than planned. This was such a worthwhile addition to our wedding. We absolutely adore the finished painting, and couldn't recommend Jacob more highly!

I was excited to have Jacob painting at our wedding. He was very professional and it was easy to organise how we were going to fit him in with the wedding plans. Most importantly, his painting is absolutely beautiful. We both feel like he captured our likenesses and the overall painting is soft and romantic. We're very happy with it. Lois and Ash

The sand art performance was absolutely magical and unlike anything I have seen before. It added a unique charm to the evening and had everyone spellbound. The artistic talent and creativity were truly impressive. Thank you for creating such an unforgettable experience.

We asked Jacob to do a live wedding painting for our wedding and the whole process was brilliant! Before we booked him he sat with us for a coffee to show us his style and to get to know what we were looking for in the painting. A few days before the actual day he took himself down to the venue to colour match so he could make sure the painting would be uniquely recognisable as the venue and ourselves (which it very much is). On the day Jacob was brilliant, arriving promptly meant we didn't have to worry about anything, he worked with the photographer to get pictures to paint from and then he got to work with the painting itself. Our guests loved chatting with him while he worked and you can almost see the conversations in the finished piece! Overall our guests (and ourselves) loved the idea of a live painting and the finished work is amongst our most treasured possessions.

We were thrilled to have Robin as our live painter for our wedding. He arrived early, set up seamlessly, and captured the essence of our day with incredible artistry. The final painting is a stunning masterpiece, beautifully reflecting the joy and love of our celebration. Robin's talent and professionalism were evident throughout the event. He made our special day even more unforgettable. We highly recommend Robin for anyone seeking a unique and cherished memento of their wedding. Thank you for your extraordinary work!
