Have your wedding painted by award-winning Professional artist, Michelle Angelique
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!

Live Wedding Painting with an Assistant/Photographer
I work alongside my assistant/photographer (either my father or partner) so they can capture all the crucial moments while I'm able to focus on painting for the duration of the wedding! This allows me to add all the details to the painting and to ensure I paint you as accurately as I can!

Please let me know if you're planning to have your painting professionally framed instead, so I can select the right size canvas and adjust the pricing.
The more projects I currently have, the more time it will take to complete each one.

OH MY GOD……. Wow wow wow..There just is not words for how fantastic, amazing, wonderful, romantic, realistic and detailed your painting is…. I am just in shock, you REALLY went above and beyond.
I genuinely am so so thrilled with it. You are incredible and I cried when I seen it!
I had full faith in your artistic ability and knew I loved your work but wow you have just exceeded my expectations so much, its better than I ever could have imaged or hoped for. Not to mention what a delight you have been to correspond with!
Anybody who is thinking about getting a live wedding portrait done… my advice is hire Michelle. 100% one of the best and easiest decisions during my entire wedding planning. You will not regret it! I cannot wait to send out my postcard prints as Thank You cards for all the guests!
