Live Wedding Painting by Zhenya

Welcome to my live wedding painting experience where your love story becomes a work of art.

A live wedding painting is more than a beautiful keepsake. It’s a way to honour all the thought, care, and love poured into your celebration while preserving the energy, emotion, and fleeting moments as seen through the eyes of someone who was there with you, from your first kiss to your first dance.

When you choose me to paint your wedding, you’re not only choosing an experienced artist with a trained eye for storytelling and scene-building, you’re investing in a one-of-a-kind piece that will forever hold the spirit of your day, proudly displayed in your home.

So how does it work?

Step 1: Pre-wedding planning

We’ll have a pre-wedding phone/video consultation to discuss your vision, your chosen moment (first kiss, vows, first dance, etc.) and the overall feel you’d like captured.

Step 2: Setting the scene (on the day)

I arrive early (as soon as the venue allows) to begin painting the background and setting details. If your venue is dimly lit or evening-based, I’ll need a nearby plug socket for the lamp I use.

Step 3: Capturing your chosen moment

I take a few quick reference photos during your chosen moment to preserve expressions and details, then continue painting live as guests watch your scene bloom on canvas throughout the day.

Step 4: Studio refinement + varnish

You won’t take the painting home on the wedding day as it usually needs final touch-ups and a protective varnish, which is done safely in the studio.

• Intimate Portrait: refined in the studio for up to 5 business days
• Grand Celebration: refined for around 2–3 weeks

Step 5: Delivery

Free shipping within the UK is included for these packages. (Insured postage/collection can also be arranged.)
