The Experience
Description
Some couples want an intimate piece; others want a painting that commands a room. I paint anywhere from 20cm to 100cm, in a style that blends realism with a soft, romantic finish, and I shape every piece around you: the moment you choose, the colours, the mood and the scale. Painted live as your day unfolds, it’s an investment in something that keeps the atmosphere of your wedding alive on your wall. It shows not just how the day looked, but how it felt.
Your guests watch the scene appear brushstroke by brushstroke, and because every wedding is different, every painting is too. I take the time to make sure yours feels entirely your own.
How it works
Step 1: Planning your moment
Before the wedding, we’ll agree the moment you’d love captured, whether that’s the aisle, your first kiss, your first dance or anything else that feels right. We’ll also settle your colour palette, the overall mood, and the size that suits where you plan to hang the piece.
Step 2: Arrival and set-up
On the day, I arrive ahead of time to set up and begin building the background (the atmosphere, the colours and the setting), so everything is ready when your moment arrives.
Step 3: Live painting
As the day unfolds, I paint the two of you live, bringing the moment to life stroke by stroke while your guests watch the artwork develop around them.
Step 4: Studio finishing (optional)
If you’d like additional detail and a finer finish, I can take your painting back to my studio after the wedding for further refinement. I particularly recommend this for larger canvases, where studio time lets the piece reach its full potential. We’ll decide together at your consultation.
Step 5: Delivery
Once complete, your finished painting is delivered to you, ready to display in your home.
Choosing your package
Your painting is sized to suit you, anywhere from 20cm to 100cm. Smaller canvases make intimate, personal pieces; larger ones become the centrepiece of a room. I’ll guide you on size based on your venue, the moment you want captured, and where you plan to hang it. Your final price is confirmed at enquiry, based on your chosen size and whether you’d like studio finishing.

Who am I actually booking?
You're booking your artist directly. TheWeddingPainters connects you with independent artists, and once you confirm your booking, your contract sits directly with the artist you've chosen. We handle the booking process and payment on their behalf, so everything stays effortless and in one place from enquiry to wedding day.
Why should I pay through TheWeddingPainters instead of paying my artist directly?
Paying through TheWeddingPainters keeps your deposit and payments secure, your agreement recorded in one place, and our team on hand to step in if anything about the booking needs sorting out.
If you pay your artist privately, by bank transfer or PayPal, outside our system, we lose visibility of that payment and our ability to help. That matters most in the moment you'd need us: if there's a dispute, or your artist doesn't turn up on the day.
Keeping everything on-platform is what lets us actually protect your wedding day, not just process it.
What should I do if my artist asks me to pay them directly (bank transfer, PayPal, etc.)?
TheWeddingPainters is a booking platform – we help you and your artist keep the booking and payments clearly recorded. If payments happen privately, they won't appear in our system and it may limit how much we can assist if anything needs to be checked later.
If you ever feel unsure or pressured, please contact us and we'll take a look.
Will I lose any protection if I pay outside TheWeddingPainters?
If you pay your artist directly (for example by separate bank transfer, PayPal or cash), those payments won't show in your TheWeddingPainters booking record.
That means:
- We can't see what was paid, when, or on what terms
- It can be harder for us to help if there's a disagreement about what was included, what's still owed, or whether a refund is due
For that reason, we strongly recommend keeping all payments for your booking within TheWeddingPainters, where we process payments on your artist's behalf and keep a clear record for both of you.
