The remaining balance is due two weeks before the wedding.
ON YOUR DAY

The live painting session will span 6-8 hours, transforming throughout the event and offering engaging entertainment for the guests as they witness it come to life.
The painting is unveiled by the end of the evening.
AFTER YOUR DAY
The painting will remain wet to the touch due to the use of high-quality oil paints. The artist will take the painting back to the studio to refine the details and apply final touch-ups.
A protective varnish will be added to preserve the artwork, and it will be prepared for hanging. The estimated completion time is 10-15 weeks, depending on the artist's schedule.
Free delivery is offered for local clients, while shipping costs will apply for non-local deliveries.

Live wedding painting is the process of creating a unique, hand-painted artwork during your wedding. I set up my easel at your event and capture a cherished moment in real-time, such as your first kiss, first dance, or a special ceremony highlight. Click here for more information on How-It-Works.

I aim to finish the majority of the painting during the event, allowing your guests to enjoy the creative process. After the wedding, the final details are added in my studio. Due to the high-quality oil paints used, the artwork requires time to fully cure before it is ready for delivery. Once the couple has approved the final piece, it is varnished for protection and professionally packaged. The estimated delivery time is 10-15 weeks, depending on how busy the wedding season is.

Yes! I’m based in Calgary, Alberta, but I’m happy to travel to your wedding. Travel fees & accommodations may apply depending on the location.

I adapt to the unique needs of your event. For multi-location weddings or outdoor ceremonies with uncertain weather, I’ll work with you in advance to create a plan that ensures the painting process runs smoothly. If rain or high winds pose safety concerns, I may relocate the painting setup indoors or to a safer location to continue creating your artwork without disruption.
