Live Wedding Painting
Most wedding art today is fast, digital, and designed to be posted.
This is not that.
I paint live, by hand, during your wedding day, capturing the atmosphere of the moment rather than a perfect pose.
What you receive isn’t a replica of a photo. It’s an original artwork that holds memory, movement, and emotion!
Why this matters:
Your wedding will pass quickly. What remains should feel grounded and lasting.
Painting slows things down and values feeling over precision and presence over polish.
That’s why no two paintings are alike—and why they age beautifully!
This is for you if:
• You’re drawn to craftsmanship.
• You prefer fewer things, chosen well.
• You want something meaningful, not just memorable.
I do not paint photo-realistically. My work is stylized and impressionistic, with an emphasis on light, movement, and atmosphere rather than exact detail.
Using soft color and expressive brushstrokes, I capture the feeling of your day—the glow, the florals, the fabrics, the music, and the moments that make it feel dreamy.

Live Guest Paintings
Live guest painting turns your wedding reception into part of the art itself. I paint your guests live, by hand, creating one-of-a-kind watercolor portraits they can take home as a meaningful keepsake.
These aren’t digital illustrations or printed favors. Each portrait is an original piece of artwork, painted individually for the people who shared your day. Designed to accommodate weddings with up to 200 guests.
Why it matters:
Your guests are part of your wedding story. Live painting gives them an experience to enjoy during the celebration, and something tangible to remember it by long after the night is over. Every portrait is one of a kind. And that’s exactly the point.
This is for you if:
• You value handmade details and craftsmanship.
• You want an interactive experience for your guests.
• You love favors that feel personal rather than disposable.
• You want your guests to leave with an original piece of your wedding day.
