Live Wedding Painting
A day to remember,
a timeless work of art
A live wedding painting is a unique and artistic way to capture your special day on a canvas which you will get to keep and cherish for the rest of your lives! I will attend your wedding and offer you and your guests the chance to witness your painting come to life, adding a personal touch and a lasting memory to your celebration. So while it’s entertainment for your guests throughout your wedding, you get to keep a beautiful painting at the end of it all.
What I do isn’t your typical wedding service, it’s a one-of-a-kind live wedding painting experience - a rare and wonderful way to capture the beauty of your wedding day in real time.
Imagine the most important day of your lives unfolding on a canvas, right in front of your eyes! Whether it’s your first kiss, your first dance or a candid giggle with your new husband/wife, I will beautifully capture this moment in a painting throughout the day.
How it works.
Pre wedding - a few weeks before the wedding we will hop on a call to discuss your vision or if you’d like me to take creative control.
During this call we will discuss the scene you would like me to paint, colours, poses and any other details e.g. if you’d like a pet in the painting.
Wedding day - I will arrive at the venue 1-2 hours before guests arrive to set up and begin painting the background.
As guests arrive, the painting will be underway.
During your chosen scene, I will take photos and videos to use as reference throughout the day.
Once I’ve captured the moment, I will sketch it over the background and start painting you and your new husband or wife!
At the end of the night the painting will be mostly complete, that’s when I’ll come find you to show you your painting before I leave. If your photographer or videographer is still around, they can join to capture the reveal.
I will then take the painting home where I will touch it up and add finer details to capture all the magic of the day.
Post wedding - after touch ups I will send you a photo of the completed painting and once you are happy with the result I will varnish and frame it in a white float frame. This process usually takes 2-6 weeks depending on the size of your painting.
Your painting is now ready to bring to its forever home!

FAQs
Do you travel abroad for weddings?
Yes! There will be a travel fee for flights, accommodation and transport but I would love to travel for your big day! Discuss this with me and I can estimate a quote.
Do you mind being interrupted by guests?
That’s a big NO! I love interacting with your guests chatting about my process, my background, the wedding etc. I’m a very chatty and sociable person so I encourage all and any questions!
Can I book you as a surprise?
Yes! I absolutely LOVE surprise bookings. Whether that’s a surprise for your wife/husband, or if your friends are getting married and you’d like to surprise them with a live wedding painting as a gift, I’d be absolutely delighted to make it work together.
What are the requirements to secure our date?
€300 deposit and a signed contract. The balance is due 2 weeks before the wedding, however I know first hand how expensive weddings get so I offer an option of paying the balance after the wedding. If you would like to avail of this option, discuss this with me and please note balance must be paid in full before the painting can be collected/shipped.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes I'm happy to discuss a regular payment plan that suits your needs.
Sadly you’re not available for our date, can you create a painting using our professional photographs?
Absolutely! I’ve created commissioned art using photographs for as long as I can remember so I highly encourage this if I’m not available on your wedding date. Send me an enquiry and I will quote you my current commission prices.
What type of paint do you use?
I use acrylic paint as it dries very fast and allows me to build up layers on the day to create depth and realism in a short space of time.
