Live Wedding Painting
Based in Utah and Colorado

A one-of-a-kind painting created during your wedding celebration and finished by hand in the studio.

A Painting Created As Your Day Unfolds

Your wedding is a day where you are surrounded by the people you love the most. It honors a lifetime of love and commitment. Live wedding painting captures this moment and transforms it into original works of art that can be cherished forever.

​

Guests, young and old, get to spend the evening watching the painting unfold, creating a unique experience that is heartwarming and engaging throughout the entire evening.

​

I paint on-site throughout the celebration, building the atmosphere, landscape, architecture, and energy of the day as it unfolds. After the wedding, the painting is completed in the studio and delivered as a finished heirloom piece.

​

Your painting is created to match your style and preferences and designed to capture the beauty and uniqueness of your special day.

Why a Painting?

 

Photographs capture what we see.

​

Paintings capture what we experience.

​

A beautifully planned wedding is a sight to behold, but the significance of the day goes far beyond the flowers, attire, and details. It honors a deeply meaningful love and the commitment between two people, witnessed by those they hold dear.

​

A live wedding painting captures the story of the day as it unfolds. Guests have the opportunity to witness the artwork taking shape throughout the celebration, while the couple receives a lasting piece of that moment to live with for years to come.

​

As the years pass and your story continues to grow, the painting becomes more than a keepsake—it becomes a family heirloom, carrying the memory of that day forward for generations.
