Lets talk about your big day

DO YOU FINISH THE PAINTING AT THE EVENT?

​

Because I have a realistic and detailed finish, my live paintings are not take-home-ready at the end of your event. I will take the painting back to my studio, add all of the finishing details, and let it dry. Once it’s ready, I’ll schedule the delivery with you. Under certain circumstances, I am able to provide a quick turnaround, but typically, the process ranges from three weeks to several months depending on my work load at the time.

 

WHAT DO YOU USUALLY PAINT AT A WEDDING?

​

At wedding ceremonies, I typically paint the pronouncement, first kiss or exit; And at wedding receptions, the first dance or grand entrance. For bride and groom portraits only, we will discuss what view of your venue you’d like captured as well as specific poses. It is up to you what you’d like me to capture! I am happy to discuss any specific requests or help you decide what will be best for YOU!

 

HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU NEED TO SET-UP BEFORE AN EVENT?

​

I like to arrive 2-3 hours before the event so that I can set-up and begin painting the background. If your venue doesn’t allow this early of a set-up, I am flexible and will work with you and your planner regarding logistics.

 

WHAT IF MY WEDDING CEREMONY IS REALLY SHORT? CAN YOU STILL PAINT IT LIVE?

​

Yes! I will do as much as I can before and during the ceremony. For larger time or location constraints, I will attend the ceremony to take reference photos and videos and paint during the reception.

 

WHAT IF I HAVE TO POSTPONE MY EVENT AFTER I’VE BOOKED WITH YOU?

​​

Send me an email ASAP with the new date and information. If I am available, your deposit will go towards the newly booked date and we will proceed as normal. If I am not available for the new date, your deposit can go towards a custom painting from a photo.
