Live Wedding Portraits

<p>For me, a wedding brings together everything an artist could want to paint: people at their happiest, a beautiful setting chosen because it means something, and a moment unlike any other. I bring all of that together in a vibrant, colourful painting without losing sight of what matters most, the people at the centre. Guests get to watch the artwork come alive throughout the celebration, while you receive an original painting that brings you right back to that magic moment each time it catches your eye.</p><p><strong>ARE WE A GOOD FIT?</strong></p><p>I’m a self-taught artist who loves to paint <strong>colour</strong>. I want my work to be <strong><em>vibrant</em></strong>, to pop and to capture attention in the room. I love working with couples who aren’t afraid to step outside tradition and want a painting that doesn’t sit quietly on the wall, but fills the room with colour, energy and personality. If that sounds like what you’re looking for, I'm probably the artist for you.</p><p><strong>HOW IT WORKS</strong></p><ol><li>Before the wedding, we’ll talk about the moment you would like me to capture, who should be included and what you love about your venue.</li><li>I’ll arrive at the venue with everything I need, set up and begin bringing your chosen scene to life.</li><li>I’ll paint as the celebrations unfold, using reference photographs alongside what I see and experience to create an original interpretation of the day, not simply reproduce a single photograph.</li><li>Guests are welcome to stop, watch and talk to me as the painting develops. You’re also very welcome to peek!</li><li>Where the schedule allows, I’ll arrange an end-of-evening first look so you can see the painting and take photographs before I leave.</li><li>I’ll then take the artwork back to my studio for detailed completion and refinement, giving the final touches the time they deserve.</li><li>Once finished, your original painting will be signed, varnished and returned to you, ready to become part of your home.</li></ol><p><strong>CHOOSING YOUR PACKAGE</strong></p><p><em>INTIMATE COUPLE PORTRAIT</em></p><p>Best for couples who want the focus firmly on the two of them, with a softer or simpler interpretation of the setting around them.</p><p>This is a closer composition in which you are unmistakably the focus. I’ll capture the two of you within your chosen moment, simplifying the surroundings so that the painting remains centred on your connection.</p><p><em>FULL WEDDING SCENE</em></p><p>Best for couples who want a larger sense of the whole occasion, incorporating more people and the details of their venue, landscape or décor.</p><p>This wider composition gives the setting a much bigger part to play. It allows me to include more of the venue, landscape or décor that made you choose it, while still keeping the two of you at the heart of the painting.</p><p>Full prices and inclusions for both options are listed in the individual package descriptions.</p><p><strong>TO ENQUIRE</strong></p><p>Please send me your wedding date, venue, the moment you would love to have painted and which package you’re considering. If you’re unsure which option is right for you, tell me what you have in mind and I’ll happily guide you.</p><p>I work in acrylic and occasionally mixed media (acrylic and oil on the same painting) on canvas and am based in Skipton, North Yorkshire, but I’m available for weddings throughout the UK.</p>
