Jacob is a spectacular artist and all our guests at Izzy and I’s wedding were amazed by his work. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he kindly spoke to anyone who came to observe his progress on the day itself. The finished piece is now one of our most treasured possessions, so thank you once again to Jacob for creating something so special for us.

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.

Reviews
5.0 (6)Jacob painted live at our wedding and we couldn’t be happier! He is exceptionally talented, a pleasure to get to know, and a true professional. Jacob took time to understand what we were looking for and composed the most beautiful scene. He captured our likeness and our children’s likeness perfectly. Having Jacob at our wedding was such a joy and a real talking point for the guests to see how the painting was coming along. Thank you so much – something to truly treasure. We recommend Jacob wholeheartedly!
My painting was a complete surprise on my wedding day! Jacob was outstanding in every sense. It was lovely to have him capture and be part of our day and it was such a great touch for him to be such a feature and painting during our dinner. The painting was incredible and a one off treasure that will last forever.
