How it works

Before the event:

Choose your live wedding painting package.
Let me know the details of the event through the booking form
We will discuss exactly what you'd like for your painting. Remember: the more communication you have, the better your painting will be!
I will provide an invoice for a deposit (50% of the package price), payable via bank deposit which is non-refundable unless I am unable to make it on the day. The deposit is to cover the costs of materials, travel to and from the event, my assistant and any required accommodation. The deposit must be paid at least 1 month before the wedding. The remaining payment is due after I've completed the painting or any time before then!
Once we secure the payment, you're all booked in!
A week before the wedding, I'll need a run sheet and/or floor plan of the venue, as well as the wedding/venue coordinator's contact details.

Painting on-location

At the event:

I will set up at the location 0.5-1 hour before the event and begin painting the background.
I need an area of at least 150x150cm to set up my easel and ensure guests do not bump into it. I have a large canvas drop cloth to cover the floor in an indoor venue, so no need to worry - it'll be well protected!
Ceremony: Ideally placed just to the right or left of the aisle behind the seating. I usually pack up during cocktail hour.
First dance: Ideally placed in view of the dance floor. I usually pack up after the first dance, which is when they turn off the lights and open the dance floor to guests. Vendor meal is required.
As your guests arrive, I will begin adding them to the painting if they'll be included.
In order to achieve the high level of detail in my paintings, my assistant or I will be taking photographs during the event to use as reference photos back in the studio.
I usually have either my father or my partner as my assistant/photographer with me on the day.

After the event:

I will take the painting back to my studio and consult with you once more to confirm any adjustments or last-minute additions before completing the painting. This allows me to really take time to work my magic and focus on painting you as accurately and detailed as possible.
Once it's complete, I will send a photo of the completed painting and an invoice for the remaining amount, which will include any framing, extras or shipping.
Once payment is received, I will order the postcard prints and let you know when it's ready for pick up or to send through Australia Post and provide the tracking number.
