How it works:

In the months before your wedding, we’ll spend time together chatting about your priorities for the painting, colors in your home and in your wedding design, the emotions you hope to capture forever, and more. Then I plan a composition and color palette to bring your unique story to life.
On your wedding day, I’ll arrive early and begin structuring the painting before guests arrive. As your guests enter into your ceremony, they’ll experience the joy of realizing the moment is being captured in real time. Then, while your guests are at cocktail hour, I’ll move the live painting to the reception so that as they enter for dinner they’ll be wowed by the progress. Throughout the evening they can come by to ask questions and marvel at how quickly the painting has progressed.
In order to provide you with the highest quality piece of artwork, your painting will return to the studio after your wedding night. Here I’ll continue working in traditional oils, building layers of color, texture, and detail until your finished painting is ready to be sealed with archival varnish and shipped to your home.

I believe that…

wedding paintings should be unique to each couple, magically capturing their story and wedding’s ambiance in a way that will transport the viewer back to the moment for generations to come.

When I started live painting, my main goal was to introduce texture and traditional fine art techniques to the Southern California wedding painting industry. Now, more than ever, I aim to give couples a little piece of magic - a way to always experience the unique feeling that was and forever will be their special day.

As one of the only Impressionist live painters in the industry, I’m proud to offer my brides & grooms colors and compositions that give them the opportunity to bring their very own fairytale to life on canvas.

Get Started

Frequently Asked Questions:

I arrive just before your first look, or about 2-3 hours before guest arrival. That allows for time to setup, capture references images, and get the foundational layers of the painting going all before your ceremony.
The vision is ultimately up to you! I may help guide you to ensure you end up with a painting that works well with your venue and has a strong composition, but the goal is to give you a finished piece that feels uniquely yours.
Not at all! Oil paint has the consistency of toothpaste, and all paint stays on my palette and easel. I provide a 5ft circular rug to protect my area just in case, this also serves to help guests avoid getting too close to the wet canvas.
After you’ve had a chance to see where the painting is stopping for the night, it gets packed up and brought back to my studio where it will undergo several more layers over the next few months.
Of course! That’s what I’m there for! I generally recommend that the live painting performance is setup somewhere with a lot of foot traffic so guests can pass buy and check on it repeatedly throughout the night.
