    Description

    Whether you want to bring your favourite wedding photo to life, or create a composite portrait from a few images, I can transform them into a timeless oil painting for you to treasure.

    A commission is a beautiful way to preserve the feeling of your wedding long after the day has passed, not just the outfits and the venue, but the atmosphere, the light, and the emotion in the moment. By working closely with you to understand what matters most in each image you provide, I aim to create a portrait that brings back every highlight of your celebration whenever you walk past it at home.

    How it works

    Step 1 — Share your photos + your vision

    Send your favourite wedding photo (or a small selection if you’d like a composite). Alongside the images, tell me what you most want the painting to capture such as the mood, the setting, the people, or the specific moment.

    Step 2 — Choose your painting style

    I work in two main styles, depending on the type of memory you want to preserve and the overall feel you’re drawn to:

    Two styles of wedding commission

    1) Impressionistic Moments

    A soft, dreamy painting that focuses less on fine detail and more on the mood and environment while still keeping the couple clearly recognisable.

    This style works especially well when:

    • You prefer an ethereal, painterly feel over a highly detailed likeness
    • The reference photo has the couple facing away (e.g., back of the ceremony)
    • The moment is more about atmosphere than facial detail (first kiss, aisle, wide scene)
    • You’re choosing a smaller size where heavy detail would be lost

    2) Detailed Couple Paintings

    A more detailed approach designed to capture the emotion, expressions, and setting with greater clarity and refinement.

    This style works especially well when:

    • You want the focus firmly on the couple
    • You love detail in attire, faces, florals, and surroundings
    • You’re choosing a larger size so every element can be done justice
    • Your reference photos clearly show expressions and key details

    The end result

    You’ll receive a richly painted oil portrait that turns a fleeting moment into something lasting, a piece you’ll return to again and again, and one that will feel even more meaningful as the years pass.

    If you’d like to enquire, send over your photo(s) and tell me which style you’re leaning toward (Impressionistic or Detailed). If you’re not sure, I’m happy to advise based on the images you have and where you plan to hang the piece.
