Detailed Oil Painting by Rowan

Available across the UK and for destination weddings, I am a Hampshire-based live wedding painter creating realistic, highly detailed oil paintings during your wedding day.

While I paint, guests can watch the artwork gradually come to life throughout the celebrations, often stopping by to see how it has progressed. After the wedding, I continue working on the painting in my studio until every detail is complete, ready to be enjoyed for years to come.

It is a privilege to be a small part of such an important day, witnessing the love, excitement and emotion shared between the couple, their family and friends, and turning those moments into a painting you'll always be able to look back on.

How it works

Step 1 — Your consultation

Before the wedding, we'll talk through your day; the venue, the timeline, and the moment you want me to paint. I'll also coordinate with your photographer so we're working alongside each other rather than around each other.

Step 2 — Arrival and set-up

I arrive a couple of hours before the chosen moment which is enough time to scout the space, find the best position, and get everything set up without rushing.

Step 3 — The moment, captured

At the moment you've chosen; first kiss, vows, first dance, a portrait session, I take a series of careful reference photographs. These let me preserve the exact expressions, light, and detail while I continue painting as the rest of your day unfolds around me. Your guests can watch the painting develop throughout the reception.

Step 4 — Studio finishing and delivery

I take the painting back to my studio after the wedding to complete the final refinements including the detail and precision that oil painting allows for. Once finished, your painting is carefully packaged and delivered to you. Delivery is free within a 50 mile radius.

Packages

40 × 50 cm — £1000

Best suited to an intimate composition focused closely on the couple. This size works particularly well for a portrait-led scene or a quiet moment between you both.

50 × 60 cm — £1,200

A wider composition that allows more of the venue to be included alongside the couple, while still keeping you as the main focus of the painting.

60 × 80 cm — £1,500

A statement piece designed to capture the couple within the full setting. The larger canvas allows much more of the venue, architecture and atmosphere of the day to be included.

• Pre-wedding consultation to plan your moment, composition, and scale
• Full live painting on the day (approx. 6–10 hours on site)
