Live Wedding Painting 

I love painting live! Often this means capturing a scene on site at a wedding, but I've done this for other events as well. Guests love to watch a painting come to life before their eyes, and I'm always happy to chat with them about the process! You choose the scene or I'll choose what I think looks best!
My prices vary but can range between $1295 & $1700 depending on location and date.
(I also offer discounts for a variety of circumstances. Ask me!)

ADD ON OPTION: Want to share copies of your gorgeous painting with your guests? "Add on" my post card package, which includes 4.2x5.5" frame-able post cards with the painting printed in high resolution. Slip them in with your thank you cards and give guests something unique to help them remember your big day!
50 cards - $80
100 cards - $99
250 cards - $149
Contact me to inquire!

Typically I work in acrylic on an 18"x24" stretched canvas. However, more clients have recently been asking for watercolor, which I also love! Totally up to you! I will arrive to your wedding venue early. I like to set up, get a sense of the space, and start painting in some basic background sections. This way I'm ready to paint the interesting parts during your reception (people, details, flowers, lighting). I will paint through your reception and most likely I will finish it that night and leave it with you to take home!

I do carry event insurance, as many venues require this. I will bring this, as well as all of my supplies to the site. I always connect with your wedding coordinator or venue staff to make sure I complete your painting in a fun, entertaining, and un-intrusive manner.

This was a beach wedding, unexpectedly rained out due to a nor'easter. Made for a beautiful, dramatic background!
