Artist Introduction
by Chloe Sami
Live Wedding Painting on Canvas
<p>Most live wedding paintings capture a likeness. Mine are built using techniques drawn from the Renaissance and Rococo masters — luminous, layered, and designed to hold a soft, almost ethereal glow.</p><p>My work has been exhibited at Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum in Bournemouth and published in Witches Magazine, and that same depth and authenticity runs through every wedding I paint. I work in oil, building up colour the way the old masters did, to create a piece that feels less like a record of your day and more like a glimpse into how it actually felt to be standing inside it.</p><p>That's an investment that holds its own as a genuine work of art — something that will sit beautifully in your home for the rest of your life, not just as a wedding memory, but as a piece in its own right.</p><p><strong>How it works</strong></p><p><strong>Step 1 — Your scene (pre-wedding call)</strong></p><p>We'll have a one-to-one chat before your wedding to decide the moment you want captured — vows, first kiss, first dance, a family scene, or anything else meaningful to you — and the size that suits the level of detail you're after.</p><p><strong>Step 2 — Arrival and set-up</strong></p><p>On the day, I arrive early, set up my easel, and begin painting your chosen wedding scene.</p><p><strong>Step 3 — Live painting on the day</strong></p><p>Your guests can come over, watch, and enjoy seeing the painting come to life — I'm a chatty, outgoing person, and always happy to talk through the process.</p><p><strong>Step 4 — Studio finishing and delivery</strong></p><p>After the wedding, I continue with extra painted details and touch-ups at my home studio. Your finished artwork is then shipped and delivered to you.</p><p><strong>Packages</strong></p><p><strong>Sapphire — £990</strong></p><p>16 × 20 inch oil painting on canvas and wood panel</p><p><em>Best for: a close-up of the couple with a minimalist background — an intimate piece that works beautifully in any room.</em></p><p><strong>Ruby — £1,460</strong></p><p>20 × 24 inch oil painting on canvas and wood panel</p><p><em>Best for: the couple with more wedding décor detail in the background — a fuller sense of the day around you.</em></p><p><strong>Diamond — £1,890</strong></p><p>24 × 30 inch oil painting on canvas and wood panel</p><p><em>Best for: a full, detailed view of the couple with extensive depiction of venue décor — a true scene rather than a portrait.</em></p><p><strong>Platinum VIP — £2,560</strong></p><p>30 × 40 inch grand-scale oil painting on canvas and wood panel</p><p><em>Best for: the most detailed facial features, intricate outfit detailing, and elaborate venue décor — a true centrepiece for your home.</em></p><p><strong>What's included</strong></p><ul><li>Pre-wedding call to plan your scene and size</li><li>Live oil painting at your wedding, on canvas and wood panel</li><li>Extra painted details and touch-ups completed afterwards in the studio</li><li>Only the finest European oil paints and materials, on stretched canvas</li><li>Shipping and delivery included</li></ul><p><strong>To enquire, send your:</strong></p><p>Wedding date · Venue or location · The moment you'd love captured</p><ul><li><em>Chloe is based in Bath and available across the UK and for destination weddings.
