Artist Introduction
Romantic, Storytelling Live Wedding Painting by Krystyna
<p>Live wedding painting is more than a portrait — it's a storytelling experience happening in real time, and an investment that only grows more meaningful with every year it hangs on your wall.</p><p>My background is in architecture, and it shapes everything I paint — a careful, structural eye for composition paired with heartfelt emotional detail. While your photographer documents the day, I create a one-of-a-kind artwork that preserves the feeling of it, and becomes a genuine piece of entertainment for your guests throughout the celebration.</p><p>You'll watch the scene build from the first brushstrokes to the final reveal — a piece you'll treasure long after the music ends.</p><p><strong>How it works</strong></p><p><strong>Step 1 — Your consultation (around a month before)</strong></p><p>We'll have a relaxed phone consultation to choose the moment you'd love captured — ceremony, first dance, entrance, reception portrait, or anything else meaningful to you — and plan the style, colours, and composition together.</p><p><strong>Step 2 — Arrival and set-up</strong></p><p>I arrive 2–3 hours before your chosen moment to set up, sketch the scene, and begin painting the background, so everything is ready when the moment itself arrives.</p><p><strong>Step 3 — Live painting during your celebration</strong></p><p>I paint for around six hours on site, building the couple, the atmosphere, and the venue details while guests stop by to watch and chat throughout.</p><p><strong>Step 4 — The grand reveal</strong></p><p>Whichever package you choose, your day finishes with a celebratory grand reveal — on stage or in a spot of your choosing — so you can see your day captured on canvas together.</p><p><strong>Step 5 — After your day</strong></p><p>For Bronze, the painting is complete by the end of the night and handed to a trusted family member or friend to keep safe until you're home. For Silver and Platinum, I take the canvas back to my studio to refine the detail further, then deliver the fully finished piece to you within the following weeks.</p><p><strong>Packages</strong></p><p><em>Prices shown for 2026 weddings.
