Live Wedding Paintings
The current 2026 price is $1800 plus tax and a travel fee (depending on your wedding location). This is my favorite service that I offer (,: And I PROMISE that you (and your guests!) will love it too!
These allow me to create a piece of art for a couple to cherish forever- I love my job!
Take a gander at some examples!

details:
To reiterate, Live Wedding Paintings are currently $1800 plus tax and a travel fee (2026 price). I no longer guarantee a finished painting at the end of the night.* I will, however, paint live for most of your wedding day! I am usually present and painting for at least 8 hours (:
2027 price is anticipated to be $2000 plus tax and a travel fee. I will open my books for 2027 in the winter of 2026!
I require a signed contract and a nonrefundable $450 deposit (subtracted from the total owed) to book your date.
I'll reach out to schedule a consultation call a few weeks before your wedding. 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.
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.
If any of the above information did not answer your question, please inquire (:
* While some wedding day schedules will allow me to finish the piece on-site, I no longer guarantee a finished painting on the day of your wedding. Taking the piece home gives me time to get your painting exactly where I want it to be, and worthy of your wall. Please allow for a few weeks/months for me to finish the painting and ship it back to you (: It will take priority over most projects, but good things take time (;
