Live Wedding Painting by Maisy

I’m thrilled to offer a truly unique live wedding painting experience by creating a one-of-a-kind artwork on your wedding day that captures the joy, emotion, and atmosphere of your celebration on paper or canvas.

My approach starts with collaboration. Before your wedding, we’ll plan the setting, medium, style, and the key details that will bring your dream piece to life so your painting doesn’t just look like your day, it feels like it too.

So how does it work?

Step 1: Pre-wedding consultation (your vision + plan)

We’ll have a consultation to understand what you want to capture: the moment, the mood, the colours, and any meaningful details you’d love included.

If you’d like thank-you card guest portraits, please reach out at least 2 weeks before the wedding so these can be designed in advance.

Step 2: Arrival + set-up

On the day, I arrive 1 to 3 hours before guests arrive, so I can set up smoothly and begin painting the background once your décor is in place.

Step 3: Capturing key moments + painting live

Throughout the day, I’ll take reference photographs and videos of key moments between you and your partner, then use these to create a painting that captures the genuine emotion and ambience of the day in the setting you’ve envisioned.

If you choose a studio finish package, I can create guest portraits alongside the main wedding painting during your celebration. Guests can either purchase their own portraits on the day, or you can pre-pay a set number of portraits as a gift for your guests.

While guest portraits add an extra layer of entertainment and personalisation to your wedding experience, my main focus will always remain on creating your main wedding artwork. The studio finish approach allows me the time and flexibility to refine the painting after the wedding while still capturing beautiful guest portraits throughout the day.

Step 4: The grand reveal

A memorable moment that brings your guests together to share the excitement and emotion of seeing your wedding memories transformed into artwork for the first time. Whether you choose to watch the painting develop throughout the day or keep it as a surprise, it becomes a unique experience that adds another special memory to your wedding.

Step 5: Your artwork to treasure

Depending on your chosen package, you can take your finished painting home on the day or I'll take the artwork back to my studio to complete any final touches. I'll happily incorporate any reasonable adjustments along the way. Once the painting has dried, I'll varnish it and then contact you to arrange either collection or delivery.

Choosing your package

Every package begins with the same thing: a painting of your day that you’ll live with for decades. Where they differ is in scale, detail, and how much of your day the canvas holds.

The Live Collection is all about the two of you. I keep the background minimal so your expressions and connection stay at the heart of the painting. I finish it live across your day, ready to reveal in the evening and take home before the celebration ends.

The Two Moments Collection is for couples who can’t choose just one moment. I paint your story across a matching pair of canvases. It might be a moment chosen by each of you, a cherished family moment alongside an intimate portrait of the two of you, or the emotion of your ceremony paired with the joy of your first dance. Both paintings are refined in my studio after the wedding.

The Signature Collection begins live on your wedding day and is then carefully refined in my studio. That gives me the time to capture the details that make your wedding yours: the atmosphere of your venue and surrounding scenery, your attire, flowers and jewellery, and the meaningful touches throughout the day.

The Heirloom Collection is created as a statement piece, designed to become the focal point of your home. The larger canvas allows a richer composition, with more of your venue and surroundings, the meaningful details, and the people who made your celebration unforgettable. I spend extended time refining it in the studio, from your expressions and attire to the flowers and décor. The result is an heirloom that grows in meaning for generations.

All packages include

• A personal consultation before your wedding
• Live painting throughout your wedding day
• An evening grand reveal

Optional add-on

Complimentary time-lapse video of the painting process, edited to a song of your choice. This is a lovely keepsake that shows your artwork coming to life.

Live guest portraits (available with the Two Moments, Signature and Heirloom collections). Alongside your main painting, I can paint portraits of your guests capturing their likeness, expression and outfit, a personal piece for them to take home. Guests can buy these on the day, or you can add them to your package.

Additional main figure at the same level of detail as the couple can be added in the painting for £90 per person. Guests can be included in the background in a looser, less detailed style at no additional cost.
