Live Painting

Live Wedding Painting for an Unforgettable Celebration

Your day goes by fast—the emotions, the laughter, the once-in-a-lifetime moments. Live painting captures it all and turns it into something you can keep forever. As your event unfolds, your painting comes to life in real time—guests can watch each brushstroke as your story is transformed into a one-of-a-kind artwork. By the end of the night, you’re left with more than a memory—you have a meaningful, custom piece that reflects the heart of your celebration.

Live painting is the perfect way to:

Capture the moment – Your first kiss, first dance, or a meaningful scene from your day, preserved on canvas
Create an experience – Guests love watching the painting develop throughout the event
Take home something lasting – A timeless piece of art that holds the emotion of your wedding or special event

What size should I choose?

Choose the size based on how you plan to use the painting. If you want it to be a statement piece or the main focal point, a larger size is recommended.

The artist determines whether it will be vertical or horizontal on-site unless the client specifies otherwise.

Still thinking about it?

Consider bundling guest portraits with custom artwork for your wedding invitations, table signs, or thank you cards.

We'd love to fill your wedding cocktail hour and reception with art, light, laughter and joy!

  • Yes! If you are outside of the service area (Florida panhandle region) but are still interested in a live painter, I am happy to travel to you. Travel expenses will be applied for mileage, hotel costs, flight booking, etc. Request a personalized quote

  • Don't stress! If you are interested in getting a painting of your wedding but the date is already booked, I am happy to paint a picture of your wedding from a photograph. It is a great alternative! 

  • At this time, I am only able to do one or the other for your event. If you really want both done, I suggest doing the live guest portraits for the big day and then I can create a gorgeous bride/groom canvas painting at my studio that will be shipped to you 6-8 weeks after your wedding date. 

  • For guest wedding favors portraits, Nicole uses high quality watercolors and ink pens on mixed media paper. She sets her materials up in an area that allows her a good view of your event but towards the back as to not disrupt the ceremony. It's a great way for your guest to see the progress of their paintings and get some great interactions. All she requires is a table, chairs, and an electrical outlet.

    For our bride and groom canvas paintings, I use high quality acrylics. I also use a high-quality finish and sealer so your art will last for years to come. It is painted on large gallery wrapped canvas and ensures the edges are painted as well. Packages start with a 16x20 size and go up in size from there.

  • I believe everyone deserves to have their picture done so anyone that I am unable to complete, I will do in studio and have sent out within 2 weeks after the event.

  • Yes, I paint for all types of events. I paint for weddings, celebrations/milestone events, corporate events, galas, fundraisers, community events, social gatherings, and more.
