A Creative Keepsake to Remember
Live painting is a creative way to capture a special moment to remember at your wedding. From the first dance to the ceremony, even adding in your pets to the painting; the possibilities are endless. Each painting begins on site before being brought back to my studio for additional hours of refinement and details.
The Booking Process
Contact me below to see if your date is available. If it is, we will book a consult either virtually or in person at my Lafayette, NJ Boutique/Studio to discuss your wedding in more detail, as well as the vision for your painting, packages and to go over any question you may have
Step One
Step Two
After our consultation I will put together and send a proposal, along with a contract and invoice for a 25% non refundable retainer. A completed contract must be signed and a retainer paid in order to secure your date.
The Live Painting Process
Once you are fully booked, about one to two months before your wedding we will meet again, either in person or virtually to discuss the finer details of your live painting. Its getting close now! Time to get excited :) This is where we will go over the composition as well as timing for the painting pose as well as any additional questions you have leading up to the big day.
The Wedding Day!
Before the Ceremony
I will arrive to the venue 3 to 4 hours before the ceremony begins in order to start setting up.
I also have a selection of decorative gold frames that pair with the painting size to use for the event. Once I have everything ready I will begin to paint in the background scene before placing the painting in the frame
As Guests Arrive
As your guests begin to arrive, they will find me working on the painting in preparation for the selected scene we had previously discussed. This could be your ceremony, reception, first dance, first kiss.. the possibilities are endless!
​
Some weddings I may begin the painting outside before bringing it in to work on.
The Celebration Continues..
and so does the live painting! As your event unfolds I will continue to paint and interact with guests who love to stop over and sneak a peek at the progress.
​
Your booking includes 6 to 8 hours of live painting at the event and many events I am there until the end as the guests begin to leave.
Back in the Studio
Touch ups & Fine tuning
After your event the painting will come back with me to the studio for an additional 6 to 8 hours of painting. This will include the detail work as well as fine tuning/making any additional changes that are needed. I will also send progress photos over as I work.
​
This stage can take 4 to 6 weeks, but I can accommodate faster turnaround times depending on the season
