Live Wedding Paintings
The Black Hills of South Dakota make for the most stunning wedding venues.
Take the opportunity to seal these precious memories forever with a priceless painting, and offer fascinating guest entertainment too!
So what is a Live Wedding Painter?
My role in your big day is to…
Step 1: Arrive several hours prior to your ceremony, set up an easel, and paint your venue.
Step 2: Pack up my supplies when guests arrive so your big moment is picture perfect and clutter-free.
Step 3: During the ceremony, I take a quick snapshot of the couple, usually in their first kiss at the altar.
Step 4: During the dinner and/or reception, I set up once again in view of the guests to paint the couple from the snapshot into the finished background.
Step 5: You and your guests get to party the night away, and stop by to see an artist at work.
Step 6: After the wedding, I take the piece back to my studio for some touch ups before delivering it to the newlyweds.

The subjects of the painting aren’t limited to just the first kiss. And while most couples prefer to be painted from a photo at the alter during the first kiss, the options are endless! In the application form, you will have the option to request that I use a photo from your first look, your walk back down the aisle, a pose from your photo time, or any other unique idea.

As long as they’re included in the reference photo, I can include anyone near and dear to you in the painting.

That is entirely up to each couple! Weddings are expensive, and if you can save a little cash by leaving out a seat or a plate, I’m more than happy to stand and/or bring my own lunch.
