Test listing 2

As a live wedding painter, I create something truly unique alongside your photography. I attend your wedding to paint live in front of your guests, capturing not just how your day looked, but how it felt – the joy, the love, the magic – all preserved in careful brushstrokes.

The experience itself becomes part of your celebration. You and your guests can watch the painting come to life throughout the day, seeing it transform from a simple sketch into a timeless piece of artwork that tells your story.

So how does it work?

Step 1: Your Consultation Call

Roughly a month before the wedding we will have a consultation call (or in person meet if you are local) to discuss the finer details like timings and plan for the painting. This is the time where we work out how I will fit seamlessly into your day. I want to hear about your vision, your style, and ideas for the painting. If you’re not sure what you want exactly, I can help to curate mood boards to fit with the aesthetic that suits you. Choose between a portrait, half body or full body. As your wedding approaches I will be regularly checking in so we’re both prepared. Venue changes? Timeline shifts? No problem, I adapt to your day.

Step 2: The Big Day Arrives

For whatever part of the wedding you decide that you want painting, I will arrive 1-2 hours before to set up my easel and start painting the background from life. In the key moments that you want to capture I will snap a few reference photos/videos to use later. I ensure to coordinate with you photographers/ videographers so that I don’t disrupt their shots.

Step 3: The Painting Begins

After the moment has been captured I will typically relocate to the reception (if I’m not already there because the ceremony area is going to be turned around). First look and ceremony paintings work particularly well because as everyone gets pictures outside the venue, I can make my quick exit to the reception so that when everyone is arriving, I am already set up and painting.

Step 4: Live Magic Unfolds

Your painting becomes part of the entertainment and you and your guests can get involved too!

There’s an artist in all of us so guests can come up and add their own brushstrokes to the painting.

(if you trust them to ;))

Step 5: Studio Perfection

At the end of the night I will reveal the painting to you before taking it back with me to the studio for touch-ups. The painting won’t be fully finished on the day but my aim is to block in the most important parts live including capturing the feeling of the day in loose painterly brushstrokes, and then touch-up the details later. Your painting arrives professionally framed around 6-8 weeks later with your choice of frame and ready to hang!
