So What is a Live Wedding Painter?

My role on 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.

FAQs

Packages start as low as $700 for the entire wedding painting experience. That’s less than half the industry standard! Prices increase the further the distance from Rapid City your venue is.
I can work venues anywhere in Rapid City and surrounding towns in the Black Hills, such as Spearfish, Hot Springs, and Hermosa! I can also travel as far as Western Wyoming and the Nebraska panhandle. I’ve always been open to traveling even further, with travel fees potentially applying to the price of your piece.
I am able to travel, though it is rare. My parameters for distance extend anywhere in the United States! Travel expenses must be covered, and will be included in the overall price with the piece.
Depending on the size of the piece, the painting could take between one and three weeks to complete. Afterward, I will either hand-deliver or ship the finished piece to the newlyweds!
You certainly can! If you do, you will need to include the contact information of the couple, so that I can touch base with them too.
While most couples prefer to be painted from a photo at the altar during the first kiss, the options are endless! In the application form, you will have the option to request any location, pose, or moment. There is no guarantee that I will be able to get the picture you request, but I will always be sure to get backup images and paint a product that you will love.
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.
