How it Works
Want to add some extra flair to your wedding?
Book me to do Live Painting at your wedding to add some excitement and intrigue to your special day! I’ll be there at your wedding, entertaining you and your guests with my painting as my work develops throughout the day.
At the end comes the final reveal of your special moment captured on canvas!
It all starts with a quick call where I can tailor an exclusive package to your day. You get to choose the moment you want captured on canvas, whether you want extra guests/pets in your painting as well as the desired canvas size.
Sometimes my services are booked as a surprise wedding gift for the couple. I can coordinate a magical moment where they react in amazement as they spot me painting at their ceremony/reception!
Arriving 3 hours before the couple makes their entrance, I will have already started painting the selected background. Once you arrived and the time comes, I'll take a photo of your chosen unique moment to use as a reference throughout the day for your painting.
Looking for a bit more to add to your day? Hire me to watercolour some fun guests' illustrations, which can be used as wedding favours which your guests can take home!
Once I am finished at the end of the day, you can display the painting at your reception for you and the guests to enjoy!
I may take the painting back to the studio for further refinement to ensure you are handed a masterpiece!
