What Is
Live Painting?
Live wedding painting is a memorable way to capture the beauty, energy, and emotion of your wedding day. I create a custom painting of you and your partner during the celebration, allowing your guests to watch the artwork come to life in real time.
The finished piece becomes a one-of-a-kind wedding heirloom you can display and cherish for years to come. I am a Colorado Springs live wedding painter serving couples throughout Colorado, and I am also available for destination weddings across the United States.

Walkthrough
Planning
Congratulations on your engagement! Once you inquire about live wedding painting, I will gather the details needed to understand your vision for the day. We will discuss the scene you would like painted, the moment you want captured, your venue, color palette, and any meaningful people or details you would like included.
Whether you choose your ceremony, first dance, reception, or another special moment, I will use your preferences to create a custom wedding painting that captures the energy, emotion, and personality of your celebration. Each piece is thoughtfully planned to become a one-of-a-kind keepsake of your wedding day.
Live Artwork
On your wedding day, I will arrive approximately two hours before the event to set up and begin painting the background. Before or immediately after the ceremony, I will need about five minutes with the couple to take reference photos.
I am typically set up in the reception area during the ceremony, but I can paint near the ceremony or move between locations based on your preferences. I will continue painting throughout cocktail hour and the reception. Packages include six hours of live painting, with additional hours available.
Finishing Touches
After your wedding, I will bring the painting back to my studio to refine the details and complete the final touches. This process can take up to three months, allowing me to give each piece the time and attention it deserves.
Once finished, the painting is sealed with a protective varnish, carefully packaged, and either shipped or hand-delivered. All live wedding painting packages include complimentary domestic shipping, so your finished artwork arrives safely and ready to be enjoyed for years to come.
