Expressive Contemporary Wedding Portrait

<p>If you love artwork that feels <em>alive;</em> expressive, painterly, and full of emotion, my commissions are designed for you.</p><p>I’ve always loved painting people, and I’ve been creating professional portrait commissions for a number of years. My style is bold and impressionistic: I use confident brushstrokes and rich, considered colour to capture the <strong>energy of a moment</strong>, with a <strong>strong likeness</strong> without aiming for a photo-realistic copy.</p><p>Each painting is created in mixed media, using a combination of <strong>acrylic paint, oil paint, and oil pastels</strong> to build depth, texture, and dynamic layering. The result is a contemporary portrait that feels warm, vibrant, and timeless, a wedding memory you’ll want on your wall and not just in a photo album.</p><h3><u>So how does it work?</u></h3><p>Step 1: Your Consultation</p><p> We’ll start with a quick consultation to talk through your wedding, your chosen photograph, and what you want the painting to <em>feel</em> like. This is where we’ll discuss composition, mood, colour, and any details that matter most to you.</p><p>Step 2: Choose your size + canvas</p><p> I offer commissions on canvas in a range of sizes, tailored to suit your space and the moment you’d like captured.</p><p>Step 3: Painting your piece</p><p> I’ll create your artwork using my layered mixed-media approach — building colour, texture, and movement so the final piece feels painterly and full of life.</p><p>Step 4: Your finished artwork</p><p> You’ll receive a carefully considered, one-of-a-kind painting on canvas, ready to hang or frame — made to be enjoyed for years to come.</p><h3><u>What you can expect</u></h3><ul><li>10+ years of portrait experience</li><li>Expressive, contemporary style with bold brushwork</li><li>Mixed media finish (acrylic, oils, oil pastels) for depth + texture</li><li>A bespoke commission based on your chosen wedding photograph</li><li>A one-of-a-kind artwork on canvas, ready to hang or frame</li></ul><p>If you’d like to commission a piece, send an enquiry with your chosen photo (or a few options), your preferred size, and the overall vibe you’d love the painting to capture.</p>
