Heirloom-Quality Live Wedding Painting by Rachel
<p>I believe a wedding should feel like nothing anyone's seen before — which is exactly what a live painting brings to your day. Rather than a keepsake shut away in a drawer, this becomes a genuine heirloom: an original piece of art capturing your exact moment, growing more meaningful every year it hangs in your home. My background is in old-world elegance and painting fine detail into everything I create, so what you're left with feels less like a wedding favor and more like something that belongs in your family for generations.</p><p><strong>How it works</strong></p><p>Step 1: Planning your painting (before the day)</p><p>We'll have a consultation to talk through your vision and the moment you'd like captured — your first kiss, first dance, first look, or a moment of your choosing. If you're not sure, I'll help you decide.</p><p>Step 2: On the day (setup)</p><p>I set up my easel ahead of your cocktail hour, designed to blend naturally into your day rather than stand out as just another vendor.</p><p>Step 3: Capturing your moment + painting live</p><p>I begin painting during your cocktail hour and continue through to the end of your reception, capturing your chosen moment in real time while your guests watch it come to life.</p><p>Step 4: Evening reveal</p><p>You'll see the painting revealed at the end of the night — no posing, no pausing your celebration to check in.</p><p>Step 5: Studio finish + delivery</p><p>I take the piece home for further refining, then ship it to you — typically arriving within 2 to 4 weeks once fully dry. If you'd prefer to take it home the same night, this can be arranged in advance as part of your package.</p><p><strong>Packages</strong></p><p><strong>The Signature</strong></p><p>FROM $1,650</p><ul><li>Best for: an intimate, couple-focused piece — the moment alone, painted with real detail</li><li>16" × 20" on canvas (other sizes available on request)</li><li>Sized for a quiet corner of your home — a beautiful, understated reminder of your day</li></ul><p><strong>The Heirloom</strong></p><p>FROM $2,400</p><ul><li>Best for: couples who want their painting ready to display exactly as it is</li><li>18" × 24" on canvas (other sizes available on request)</li><li>Presented in an ornate gold frame, ready to hang, with a complimentary print of the finished piece to keep or share</li></ul><p><strong>The Legacy — Most Popular</strong></p><p>FROM $3,300</p><ul><li>Best for: a statement piece that anchors a room — the painting that becomes part of your home's story</li><li>24" × 36" on canvas (other sizes available on request)</li><li>Presented in an ornate gold frame, ready to hang, with a complimentary print of the finished piece to keep or share</li><li>Painted throughout your full celebration — no hourly limits</li></ul><p><strong>All packages include</strong></p><ul><li>Your chosen moment, scene, and detail — painted live and treated with genuine care, not a rough sketch</li><li>A one-of-a-kind live painting performance for you and your guests to enjoy throughout your celebration</li><li>Studio finishing for a richly detailed, gallery-ready piece</li><li>A ready-to-hang artwork, finished to complement your home</li></ul><p><strong>Optional add-on</strong></p><ul><li>Same-day collection of your painting (instead of standard 2–4 week delivery) — arranged in advance</li></ul><p><strong>To enquire</strong></p><p>Send me your date, venue, and the moment you'd love captured, along with your preferred package, and I'll be in touch to confirm availability and talk through your vision.</p><p><strong>Travel line</strong></p><p>Rachel is based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and available across the US and worldwide for destination weddings.
