We will meet before your big day and decide what moment you'd like me to capture. The recessional, the first kiss, the cake cutting, the first dance, or an intimate moment during your couple portraits are all perfect scenes you'll want to memorialize forever. I am skilled in working with pastel on special sanded paper and acrylics on gallery wrapped deep edge canvas. During our first meet, I will explain in depth to help the bride and groom decide which medium will work best for their special day.
I will capture several photos during your requested moment while being completely respectful of your photography and videography team. I will need a moment to run the photos by the couple to be sure you're loving the pose I captured, then I will run to my easel at the pre-reception or reception to get started. Keep in mind that if you choose a moment that happens later in the reception, I will have less time to work on your painting in front of your guests. Guests are welcome to watch and ask questions.
The size and complexity of the piece will be a key factor in how much of the piece gets completed on site. The live painting is a great entertainment experience for your guests and lets me fully immerse myself and capture the essence of your special day. A great effort will be put into getting the bride and groom to the furthest completion possible during the reception for a fun reveal before the couple departs.
I will safeguard your painting and bring it back to my studio, so no worries about how to handle a wet painting on your wedding night. I will finish the painting, and either frame or varnish the piece to protect it before delivering it to you. Framing is available at an extra cost and is a necessity for pastel works but optional for canvas paintings.
