Availability
Please note: Multiple couples tend to book the same date, so it's first come, first serve! Your wedding is not officially booked in until you send a deposit. Bookings must be secured with a deposit at least one month before the wedding date so I have enough time to order the materials, confirm availability of my assistant/photographer and book any accommodation. Deposits are non-refundable unless I am unable to make it on the day.

Live wedding painting is a new trend here in Australia! It's a wonderful way to capture your wedding day in a way that a photograph cannot. My ideal painting locations are in nature but I'm happy to paint anywhere! I can paint your ceremony or your reception, or both!
I started offering live wedding painting in 2021 after a bride introduced me to this new phenomenon! She needed someone who can paint landscapes, people, flowers and animals in a colourful, whimsical and romantic way - perfect for a hopeless romantic like me! After seeing my personal work and commissions, and discussing what she needed, we knew it was a perfect match! As soon as I started painting her wedding, I fell in love with live wedding painting!

Please let me know if you're planning to have your painting professionally framed, so I can select the right size canvas.
The more projects I currently have, the more time it will take to complete each one.
Package prices are subject to increase to keep up with demand, inflation and fuel prices.
Each package includes:

Package prices are subject to increase to keep up with demand, inflation and fuel prices.
Each package includes:
- Detailed venue, bride and groom and/or wedding party and/or guests and other details (flowers, signs, etc.) - the level of detail depends on the size of the canvas, the composition and how much detail I can paint with my smallest brushes
- Design your painting how you want! Keep in mind that more people will make them smaller and less detailed; less people will make them bigger and more detailed.
- Professional acrylic paints on artist-grade canvas (Information about art materials, canvas and frames)
- Travel cost to all locations within Sydney and Blue Mountains for me and my assistant/photographer
- The cost of having my assistant/photographer during the day and any photographs they've taken

How it works
Before the event:
- Please contact me at least 1 month before the wedding date or 2 months if it includes a travel cost - I'm usually not available on short notice
- Choose your live wedding painting package.
- Let me know the details of the event through the contact form at the bottom.
- We will discuss exactly what you'd like for your painting.
- I will provide an invoice for a deposit, 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/partner and any required accommodation. The deposit is 50% of the package plus any additional travel costs.
- Once we secure the payment, you're all booked in!
- Closer to the date, I will confirm all details with you.
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 of the aisle behind the seating.
- First dances: Ideally placed in the centre, in front of the dance floor.
- 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.
Back to the studio!

After the event:
- I will complete the rest of the painting in the studio, where I can really take time to work my magic and focus on accuracy and details.
- Once it's complete, I will send a photo of the completed painting and an invoice for the remaining amount.
- Once payment is received, I will varnish the painting and let you know when it's ready for pick up or to send through Australia Post and provide the tracking number.
- I will order the postcard prints and have them sent directly to you or with your painting.
