LIVE WEDDING PAINTING
Capture the magic of your special day with a live wedding painting.
As a live wedding painter, I specialize in capturing the beauty and emotion of your big day in real-time. Not only does live wedding painting add a touch of elegance and entertainment to your celebration, but it also provides you with a tangible heirloom that will serve as a joyful reminder of your special day. Focusing on wedding day florals in my signature romantic, bold and impressionistic style, I capture the essence of the bridal bouquet arrangement in archival acrylic paints on gallery-wrapped canvas. This one-of-a-kind work of art can be treasured for generations to come, immortalizing something beautifully ephemeral that would otherwise only last a few days.
Whether you're saying "I do" in a quaint garden setting, a rustic barn, or a grand ballroom, I'll work closely with you to ensure that every detail is captured with precision and care. All packages include a consultation prior to the wedding to discuss the details of your floral choices for the event, chosen color palette and overall requests.
On the day-of I will work from reference photos of your bouquet, personally taken on my iPad which I will use to paint from during the event. After the wedding, I will typically take your painting back to the studio to add in any final details, and if chosen, have the piece finished with custom framing.
