Roxana, romantic & soft acrylic live wedding painter based in Manchester

Most wedding painters approach a scene the way a photographer would, bycapturing what's there. My background in fashion and industrial design means I approach it differently.

I'm thinking about movement, composition, and elegance crafting a painting that's the best possible version of your day, not just a record of it. That means I can remove what doesn't belong, add people or pets who couldn't be there, and build the composition around what actually matters. The result is a painting that feels more true to the day than a photograph ever could because it captures how it felt, not just how it happened to look in one fleeting moment.

With fifteen years of experience across illustration and painting, I work in acrylic or oil producing a finished, varnished piece that's an investment in something you'll still be proud to have on your wall decades from now.

How it works

Step 1 — Planning your painting

Around a month before the wedding, we'll have a video consultation to talk through your timeline, your venue, and the scene you'd love painted. I'll want to understand the composition — who's in it, what the setting looks like, and anything you'd like included or left out.

Step 2 — Arrival and set-up

I arrive at least 30 minutes before the event to get set up — this is entirely separate from painting time. All I need is a table, one chair in the main wedding room, good lighting, and a plug socket nearby. Worth letting your venue coordinator know I'll be there as one of your vendors.

Step 3 — Your reference session

Early in the day, we take a short ten-minute photo session together — reference images that let me capture your expressions, your attire, and the details that matter most. Quick, easy, and fitted around the flow of your day.

Step 4 — Live painting

Throughout the event, I paint live while your guests watch the artwork develop. The painting becomes part of the atmosphere of the day — something for guests to drift past, watch, and talk about.

Step 5 — The reveal

Before the cake cutting, I reveal the painting to you. It's one of the quiet highlights of the day — and one of the reasons couples who've had live painting consistently say they'd do it again.

Step 6 — Studio finishing and delivery

Where refinements are needed, I complete them in the studio after the wedding. Your finished, varnished piece is delivered within five to six weeks.

Choosing your package

Every package is a finished, varnished painting in acrylic or oil, composed around what matters most to you. As you step up, I spend longer painting on the day, and the canvas holds more of your world.

Elegant Touch is a beautifully composed portrait of the two of you, painted with care against a minimal background that keeps the focus firmly on your moment.

Refined Touch brings the scene around you into the painting: your venue’s details, its atmosphere and the full setting of your day, woven into the composition with extra time on the day to do it justice.

Exquisite Touch is the complete live art experience. You get a larger canvas, room for up to two extra people or pets (including those who couldn’t be there), and a Tree of Life guest canvas, where your guests add their own fingerprint leaf throughout the reception. You leave with two artworks: your painting, and a growing, personal piece that belongs to everyone who was there.
