How Does

Live Wedding Painting

Work?

Step One
Once Upon a Time:

Send me an enquiry form with the important info about your wedding and I’ll get in contact within one to two days to discuss your big day. If our calendars match up- you can secure your date for live wedding painting.

Step Two
The Adventure Begins:

We’ll arrange a consultation by zoom call four to five weeks before your big day. Together we’ll discuss your vision for the artwork and what’s important to you. I love hearing all about your story!

Step Three
The Magical Moment:

The big day has arrived! I will be at your venue early to set up my station. Based on our consultation and the timeline of your day, I will take you for a photoshoot to capture the perfect moment for the painting. I then spend a little time carefully choosing the right reference photos for all the elements of your day, and begin drawing out the composition. I include a thin underpainting for the work, which acts as a compositional plan that ensures you and guests can see the vision coming together.
I spend the remainder of the night working the depth and details with my high grade oil paints. Thats where the magic happens.
Your guests will love watching the process.
Once the reception is packing up for the night, I take the painting back to my studio for further layers and details.

Step Four
Happily Ever After:

At my studio I spend some time working on details and retouches of the painting. The painting then needs to dry for a few weeks before varnishing. Your completed live wedding painting will be ready for pickup or shipping within eight to ten weeks.
