Where are you located? +
I am located in Atlanta, GA.
What are your live painting sizes and prices? +
18x24" and 24x30"and pricing starts at $3k
Do you travel? +
I currently have an approximate 90 mile travel radius outside of my home in Atlanta. Please submit an inquiry to double check, travel exceptions are sometimes made.
Do we or the venue need to provide anything for you? +
No, I bring all of my supplies with me- easel, canvas and painting supplies.
Once the sun sets, I will need to be relatively close to an outlet for my easel light. I have an extension cord if needed.
What is your timeline on the wedding day? +
I arrive to the venue 2 hours early to start painting in the background. Then, I will take a photo of whatever "scene" we have agreed upon. My main goal is to finish the portrait of the bride and groom on site by the end of reception along with some additional venue details. I will complete the painting and add more detail in studio after the event. I will have the completed painting shipped or dropped off within one month after the event. I cover shipping charges.
how do i secure my spot/what are the next steps? +
If you would like to move forward with the booking process, I ask for half down as a deposit and a signed contract. Once that is signed and the deposit is paid, you are officially booked! The second half of the payment is due at any point up until the day of the wedding.
once we have sent the contract back to you can we change some of the details? +
It depends.
Once you have signed the contract, the wedding date is binding and cannot be changed. The location of the venue can change only if it is the same distance or less as the origianl agreed upon venue location. The "scene" being painted can be changed at any point up until the day before the wedding.
My ceremony and reception are at different locations- can you move between the two? +
(This question only applies if you are wanting a scene from the ceremony painted)
It depends.
If the ceremony and reception venue are on the same property- then yes- I can paint the ceremony scene then move to the reception.
If the ceremony and reception venue are at different locations requiring transportation between the two- then no- I will set up at the reception venue.
I do this so that I can spend as much time as possible painting and not stopping/starting to set up!
What scene do you recommend be painted? +
- First time walking down the aisle as husband and wife
- First kiss while walking back down the aisle
- First dance
- Candid entrance scene into the reception
I encourage you to choose a scene that includes/showcases the most venue detail as it will make for a more interesting background of the painting.
How would you describe your painting style? +
I would describe my painting style as somewhat realistic with a whimsical twist. I aim for a very close likeness on the bride and groom with other detials such as venue and guests more "loosely" painted.
Do you only do live paintings at weddings? +
No, live paintings are great entertainment at corporate events, charity benefits, birthdays, anniversaries, etc.
Can I choose who is in my painting? +
I would love to discuss your vision for the painting and the aspects of your day that you would like highlighted in it.
