Why Hire a Live Painter?
You’re in search of live wedding entertainment. You could hire a band or inflatable bounce houses. You could bring in dancers, magicians, balloon artists, or any number of entertainers.
But deep down you know that your wedding deserves more than fleeting tricks.
You want your wedding to be intentional, meaningful to all of your guests, and a celebration of the goodness of God.
My live wedding painting packages keep your guests engaged while also producing a work of art that captures your love and serves as a meaningful reminder of your bond for the rest of your lives.
I ALSO LIVE PAINT AT GALAS
I will create a custom piece of art for your gala, ready to be auctioned off by the end of the night. My pieces have gone for at most $8700! You can entertain your guests and raise money for your worthy cause!
The Process
1. CHECK AVAILABILITY
Take 2 minutes to write out your vision for your wedding by filling out this form. I’ll get back to you to confirm availability and a consultation link so we can chat to make sure I’m the right artist for you!
2. BOOK A CALL
I’ll ask you to share your love story and vision for the piece. You can ask me any questions about my process and day of logistics.
3. GET STARTED
If it's a "heck yes" all around - we'll lock in your wedding date with a 50% deposit and I’ll show up on your big day, ready to paint a piece of art that you and your guests won’t ever forget!
Live Wedding Painting

Your live wedding painting includes you and your spouse in a moment of your choice with 1-2 background elements (flowers, structures, etc.) The more time I have, the more I can paint! Note that any additional people or pets are +$300 figure.
A complimentary frame is also included! By the end of the night, you'll be able to take home your framed portrait capturing the most important day of your life!
