Capture the beautiful essence of your wedding with a live wedding painting
The Art of Love
Capture the beautiful essence of your wedding with a live wedding painting. This is a breathtaking way to add entertainment to your wedding and have a forever keepsake for you to cherish for years to come.
A Palette For Detail
Live Wedding Paintings begin with planning down to the very details of what you envision your painting to be on your special day. My style of painting includes a touch of whimsical and abstract aesthetic that will encapsulate the beautiful scenery and the love you have for one another within your portraits. Paintings are done using acrylic paints on a premium canvas. I will be there to set up and paint between 6 & 8 hours (or unless specified otherwise). Paintings will then be taken home for finishing details to be added and then shipped directly to you within two weeks of your wedding date.
How it works
We’ll begin by having you fill out a general form below (at the bottom of the page). This is where you can tell me about yourselves, about your wedding and any other details I may need to know to ensure we are a great fit for each other! From there we will schedule a meeting, either in person, phone, or virtual so that we can go over all the details regarding the painting and what your wishes are for your personal painting, the prices, and details on how to book.
Don’t Forget Your Furry Loved one
Is your fur-ever friend in your wedding? Opt to have their portrait painted in front of all your loved ones that day. Pet portraits of those pets involved in the wedding make a cherished gift forever and always. Let’s capture the love even more and add in details of the big day by including your bouquet, a special moment between the groom and pup or the bride and pup, or both. Your special day shouldn’t have any limits - let my talents transform your memories!
In Memory of…
Is there a special loved one who is missing from the big day? Let’s incorporate their love into a painting that is beyond meaningful and sentimental for you. As simple as adding in a beloved feature, a special painted flower, or a unique sentiment - we can work on the details together and I would be honored to include their memory within your painting. Let’s talk!
FAQs
What does a live wedding painting experience all entail the day of?
Once set up, I begin working on the background of the painting. This may be during the ceremony but is typically done before the reception begins. As talked about in our initial meeting, I will be working off a photo that has been captured earlier and will be working on it through the entirety of the reception. Paintings will then come home to my studio after the wedding for all finishing touches to be made within two weeks of the wedding date and then will be shipped directly to the couple. Canvases will not be framed.
Can guests interact with you while you paint?
Absolutely! Guests are encouraged to watch and enjoy the process of seeing your beautiful painting come to life. During the initial meeting we will go over the details of the wedding such as attire, casual or formal style and I will be sure to match the aesthetic style of your big day to fit in.
What do you need to set up?
Just a small 4ft x 4ft (give or take a foot) location near an outlet, preferably on a flat surface. I will bring my easel, paints, supplies, and an extension cord to use for the ipad set up to work off of the photo.
Where do you travel?
I am based out of Fond du Lac county (Wisconsin) and will travel within 75 miles, if more than 75 miles, travel expenses will be added to total. For all out of state bookings, travel & lodging expenditure will be added to the cost.
What are the costs?
Live Paintings begin at $1600 and depend on canvas size. To book a live painting event, I require a nonrefundable deposit of 50%
