The Magic of Live Wedding Painting

Live wedding painting combines the spontaneity of live performance with the timelessness of a masterpiece.

By the end of the event, you'll have a stunning piece of art that tells the story of your wedding day.
Why Choose a Wedding Painter?
​
​Choosing a wedding painter offers several benefits that go beyond traditional photography and videography. Here are a few reasons why you should consider this unique service:
​
A Unique Keepsake
A wedding painting is a one-of-a-kind keepsake that captures the essence of your special day. Unlike photographs, which can be duplicated, a painting is a unique piece of art that reflects the artist's interpretation of the event. It's a personal and intimate way to commemorate your wedding day.
​
Entertainment for Guests
The process of live painting is fascinating to watch. Guests can see the painting come to life throughout the event, providing a unique form of entertainment. It's a great conversation starter and adds an artistic flair to your wedding celebration.
​
Personal Touch
As a wedding painter, I work closely with each couple to ensure that the painting reflects their vision. From the choice of colors to the scene being painted, every detail is customized to suit your preferences. This personal touch makes the painting even more meaningful.

What People Say
Thank you Christina for creating such an amazing painting and thank you for adding my mom who could not be with us. You truly made my day so special.
I was on the fence but my bride really thought it would be a great idea. The painting was not in the budget at first but I found some wiggle room and surprised her. It was the best addition to our wedding.
I am so glad Christina came all the way to our small town for our wedding. No one there had seen this done before and she truly shined so bright. Everyone could not stop talking about her!
