    Inclusive Live Wedding Painting by Maddy

    <p>I've been an artist for as long as I can remember, trained professionally for five years, finishing with a first-class bachelor's degree and a distinction-level master's. But what actually drew me to wedding painting was love!</p><p>Nothing makes me happier than watching two people find each other, and combining that with my art felt inevitable.</p><p>I paint live at weddings of every kind; traditional, cultural, eccentric, and everything between, bringing an inclusive eye to every couple, as a queer artist myself. I can’t wait to work with you!</p><p><strong>How it works</strong></p><p><strong>Step 1 — Planning your moment</strong></p><p>We'll agree which moment you'd like captured — first look, first kiss, first dance, or a posed portrait somewhere in the venue if you'd prefer more control over the composition.</p><p><strong>Step 2 — Arrival and set-up</strong></p><p>I arrive when needed and take about fifteen minutes to set up on the table you or the venue provide — I'll just need it placed somewhere in the main wedding room, so your guests know where to find me.</p><p><strong>Step 3 — Live painting on the day</strong></p><p>At your chosen moment, I take a quick reference photo, then continue painting. My easel can move around the venue to follow your wedding party, so I'm always exactly where you need me.</p><p><strong>Step 4 — Guest interaction</strong></p><p>Guests are welcome to come and watch, chat to me, and even put down a brushstroke of their own under my guidance!</p><p><strong>Step 5 — Completion</strong></p><p>I will take your painting home to add final touches before shipping it directly to you.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Packages</strong></p><p><strong>Gold — £1088</strong></p><ul><li>Painting of the wedding couple, from knees up, with limited background</li><li>50 × 40cm canvas</li><li>Up to 5 hours of live painting</li><li>Final touches completed at home, then shipped to you</li><li><em>Best for: couples who want a focused, intimate portrait without elaborate scene detail.</em></li></ul><p><strong>Diamond — £1199</strong></p><ul><li>Full body painting of the couple, plus more background</li><li>50 × 40cm canvas</li><li>Up to 5 hours of live painting</li><li>Up to two additional guests or pets can be included</li><li>Final touches completed at home, then shipped to you</li><li><em>Best for: couples who want their special moment captured.</em></li></ul><p><strong><em></em>Platinum — £1918</strong></p><ul><li>Full body painting of the couple, plus full high detail extended background</li><li>70 x 60cm canvas</li><li>Up to 7 hours of live painting</li><li>Up to four additional guests or pets can be included</li><li>Painting will be finished to the highest quality at home, then shipped to you</li><li><em>Best for: couples who want the complete scene captured in high detail.</em></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>To enquire, send your:</strong></p><p>Wedding date · Venue or location · The moment you'd love captured · Package preference</p><p><em>Maddy is based in North Yorkshire and happy to travel as far as needed.
