Question 1

Can I choose which moment is painted?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! I want your live painting to reflect the most cherished moment of your wedding day. Popular options include the first kiss, holding hands, your grand exit, your first dance, or even a candid, intimate moment shared between the couple or with loved ones. I will guide you through the different options to ensure you’re choosing the moment that holds the most significance to you.

If you're unsure which moment to capture, I’ll provide recommendations based on my experience and your personal preferences. We'll talk about your wedding timeline, special traditions, unique ideas  and your vision to make sure the painting perfectly captures the essence of your celebration. My goal is to paint a scene that reflects not just the event but also the emotion of the moment, something you’ll love looking at for years to come.

Question 2

How far would you travel for a live wedding painting?

Accepted Answer

I primarily cover weddings in the southeastern part of the United States. On occasions, I am happy to travel to other states and in some cases internationally. Send an inquiry to inquire about your date and location and I will be happy to send over a quote if travel is needed.

Question 3

When will I receive my painting?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the complexity of the piece and number of subjects, paintings can take up to three months for completion, though I will do my best to have it completed sooner. I finish pieces in the order I receive them, but I will keep you updated throughout the process! During peak seasons, the timeframe can extend up to 5 months since I complete these in the order I paint throughout each month.

If you select the basic package, you will receive it by the end of the night. These are available only during weekdays as of 2025.

Question 4

How long do you stay in an event?

Accepted Answer

It ranges from 6-8 hours depending on the package you selected.

Question 5

Can I schedule a consultation to discuss my wedding or custom painting before I decide to book?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I offer complimentary consultations to discuss your vision, priorities, and ideas for your wedding or custom painting. No strings attached. It will help me understand if we are the right fit for each other depending on your vision. I always want my couples to feel sure about their ideas and entrusting that I am the perfect artist to see them through.

Question 6

Do you offer live guest portraits during weddings and events?

Accepted Answer

Yes! I offer live guest portraits as a unique and memorable experience for your guests. As I sketch or paint live at your event, each guest receives a personalized keepsake to take home. My live portraits add an artistic touch and interactive entertainment to your wedding or special occasion, making your day even more unforgettable.

The portraits are quick but detailed, capturing each guest in a fun, stylish, and elegant way. If you’re unsure how this will fit into your timeline, don’t worry! We’ll discuss the best way to incorporate this service, ensuring it complements your event flow seamlessly.

Question 7

How many illustrations can you do for an event?

Accepted Answer

My live illustration offerings are delivered on guest numbers a couple or event planner want to guarantee for their event. My packages start at guaranteeing up to 75 individuals or 38 illustrations, but can go up to 200 individuals or 100 illustrations. I am onsite for 4 hours where my assistant will take photos of guests and any that are not completed onsite will be completed in studio within 2-5 weeks after the event depending on illustration type. I am able to complete about 32 individuals onsite and the remaining are completed in studio.

Most couple choose faceless illustrations, but I am able to offer slightly more detailed illustrations with facial features. I am also open to discussing new ideas such as themed art illustrations that people get to take home.
