Process & Timeline
1. Booking
Fill out the request form with your date and location. I’ll get back to you within 2–3 business days to confirm availability and provide next steps.
​
2. Consultation
We’ll discuss your vision , including the scene you'd like captured (ceremony, first dance, etc.), color palette, preferred composition, and any must-have details. I’ll also help you choose the best size based on your venue and timeline.
​
3. Event Day
I’ll arrive early and begin painting as soon as your ceremony space is fully set. I paint live on-site for 7–10 hours, allowing guests to watch the progress unfold throughout the day.​​
​
4. Studio Refinement
I take the painting back to my studio and spend 15+ days adding detail and depth. This part is what transforms a live sketch into a timeless heirloom.
​
5. Delivery
Your painting will be professionally framed and shipped via insured carrier within 9 weeks after the wedding.
Additional Notes
-
Booking Early is Recommended: I only accept up to 1 wedding per month to ensure each piece receives full attention. Dates fill quickly, especially during peak seasons.
-
Travel Fees: Travel and lodging costs are not included and will be quoted separately based on your event location.
-
Framing & Shipping: All wedding paintings come professionally framed and are shipped via tracked and insured carrier.
-
Guest Portraits: I can typically draw 6–12 guests per hour, depending on style and detail. Please estimate the number of hours needed accordingly — time cannot be extended on the day of the event unless arranged in advance.
-
Outfits Matter: For guest portraits, stylish or meaningful outfits are encouraged! They add charm and personality to each sketch.
-
Combo Timing: When both services are booked, guest portraits take priority after the ceremony. The wedding painting may not be finished on-site but will be completed in my studio.
-
Studio Time: Wedding paintings require days of studio refinement after the event. This is where the magic truly happens , transforming a live sketch into a finished heirloom.
-
Optional Video Feature: With your permission, I can document the day from my perspective , including guest reactions and behind-the-scenes painting clips. These may be shared online as part of my creative storytelling work.
