Live Wedding Paintings
The current 2025 price is $1400 plus tax and a travel fee (depending on your wedding location). I finish the painting the night of your wedding- no studio work. I paint for about 6-8 hours, until you and your spouse have been captured in paint (;
These allow me to create a piece of art for a couple to cherish forever- I love my job!​

details:
To reiterate, Live Wedding Paintings are currently $1400 plus tax and a travel fee. My live paintings are finished the day of your wedding- you take it home, that night. I paint for about 6-8 hours, until your painting is finished.
I require a signed contract and a nonrefundable $350 deposit (subtracted from the total owed) to book your date.
We will schedule a consultation call a few weeks before your wedding to discuss the details of the painting, including the background of your choice and other details for the day. My email is always open for questions prior to this in-depth consultation. The day of your wedding, after the first look, I'll work with your photographer to pose you and your spouse- I only paint the two-person portrait (pet additions are welcome). If you would like multiple people in your portrait, a portrait done from a photo would be better suited. After that, I'll paint until the painting is finished (:
My standard size for a painting is 20x24" (if you'd prefer another size, please inquire and ask), and I paint on a sturdy masonite board. I work with acrylic paints.
