Live Wedding Painting By Hannah

Your photographer captures the day you got married… and I capture the moment you got married as a live, digital wedding portrait created on-site while your guests watch it come to life.

This is a beautiful blend of entertainment + keepsake: I’ll draw your chosen moment during the wedding (ceremony, a couple’s portrait with your chosen backdrop, or another key part of the day), with a second screen facing your guests so they can enjoy the process without crowding around. The finished artwork is then professionally refined after the wedding and delivered to you digitally, ready to print and keep forever.

So how does it work?

Step 1: Setup before the ceremony

Ideally, I arrive 1 hour before your ceremony to set up. I’ll need a table and chair, access to a power outlet, and space for my equipment (laptop, tablet + pen, and two monitors — one for me, one turned around for guests to watch).

Step 2: Capturing your moment

I’ll either:

• take my own reference photos during the ceremony, or
• do a quick mini photoshoot afterwards with the two of you (with a backdrop you choose), or
• work from a photo taken by your photographer (if you prefer).

Step 3: Live drawing (up to 6 hours on-site)

I’ll be on-site for up to 6 hours, drawing live while guests can watch the portrait develop throughout the day. I’m also happy to chat with guests as I work — it’s something most people have never seen before!

Step 4: Studio polish + delivery

Because the artwork takes several days to fully complete, I finish it after the wedding and aim to deliver the final digital files within 5 working days. Your files are sent via email.

What’s included

• 6 hours live drawing on location + final edits back in the studio
• A finished digital couple’s portrait based on your chosen moment
• Drawing timelapse video of your portrait forming (perfect set to a song of your choice, like your first dance)
• Digital files delivered by email, designed to be printable up to 1 metre tall or 1 metre wide (depending on portrait/landscape format)

Important note: Because the portrait is completed over several days, it isn’t possible for me to also draw guests during your wedding.

Travel & accommodation

I’m based in London, so accommodation is typically only needed for weddings outside London. Travel costs depend on location, travel time, and public transport access to/from your venue.

If you enquire with your date, venue, and the moment you’d love captured, I’ll confirm availability and talk you through the smoothest plan for your timeline.
