I find joy in capturing the essence of your special moments as they unfold in real-time. Whether it's during your heartfelt ceremony or lively reception, I set up my easel and paint on-site, transforming a blank canvas into a vibrant work of art. This process not only results in a personalized keepsake of your special day but also serves as an engaging spectacle for your guests. They get to witness the evolution of a masterpiece, as I skillfully translate the energy, emotions, and atmosphere of your event into a stunning visual narrative.

The cost of a live painting varies depending on the size of the painting and the duration of the event. For instance, my Studio Quality 24" x 30" Live Painting package includes a large live painting and an additional 10 hours in the studio. The total duration is 14 hours and it costs $3,250. The Retouched 18" x 24" Live Painting package includes an 8-hour live ceremony or reception oil painting and costs $2,050. The Alla Prima Impression 16"x20" package includes a 4-hour live ceremony or reception oil painting and costs $1,700. For more detailed information about each package, you can visit my booking page.

Booking a wedding painter like me can add an extraordinary dimension to your celebration. It's not just about creating a tangible memento of your special day, but also about offering a unique form of entertainment that captivates your guests. As I bring your wedding scene to life on canvas, your guests become part of an immersive art experience, witnessing the creation of a masterpiece in real time. The live painting also serves a deeper purpose - it becomes your first family heirloom. This vibrant depiction of your wedding day is not just a piece of art, but a cherished keepsake that encapsulates your love and commitment. It's a timeless treasure that will be admired and appreciated for generations to come.

On the day of your event, my approach is one of meticulous planning and artistic dedication. I arrive several hours early to establish my workspace and initiate the painting process, starting with the background. As the event unfolds, I capture a photograph of a significant moment—be it the exchange of vows, the first dance, or another milestone discussed during your consultation. This photograph serves as my reference as I continue to paint amidst the reception, offering your guests an engaging spectacle as they watch the artwork evolve. While I aim to complete the painting by the end of the event, my commitment to quality may necessitate additional refinement or touch-ups in my studio. Once the painting meets my high standards, I apply a protective varnish and arrange for its safe delivery.

Securing a live painter for your event is a straightforward process with me. Begin by exploring my portfolio and familiarizing yourself with the FAQs on my website to gain a comprehensive understanding of my work and services. Once you've decided on the package that best suits your needs, navigate to the Booking section to submit your inquiry. If I am available for your event, I will arrange a phone consultation to discuss the specifics of your event and the details of the painting. This step ensures that your vision aligns with my artistic approach. Following the consultation, if you decide to proceed, I will send an invoice and contract for your review. To confirm your booking, a non-refundable retainer deposit or full payment is required.

Absolutely! As your live wedding painter, I'm here to bring your vision to life. You have the freedom to specify who you'd like to be included in the painting, typically up to 15 people. We'll discuss this list in advance, and on the day of the event, you'll assign someone—perhaps your wedding planner or a family member—to help me identify these special guests during the reception. If by chance someone missed out, don't worry. I can add them during the final touch-ups in my studio after the wedding. Your painting will be a true reflection of your memorable day, featuring the people who mean the most to you.

Hiring a live wedding painter like me comes with a unique set of benefits and considerations. On the plus side, you'll receive a one-of-a-kind and deeply personal memento of your wedding day. I'll be there to capture the magic of the moment as it unfolds, adding a special touch to your celebration. Moreover, my presence and interaction with your guests can add an extra layer of excitement and entertainment to the event. However, there are a few aspects to consider. Hiring a live wedding painter can be an additional investment, as the cost reflects the time, skill, and materials involved in creating a bespoke piece of art. Maybe your favorite artist is not available on your wedding date or is not in the area, which means additional travel costs. While I strive to capture the essence of your day, it's important to understand that not every detail of your wedding can be included in a single small painting, that's why I have different packages with different sizes and different amounts of “studio” hours for retouching after or even before the event for undertones and guest portraits if required. Lastly, if you require a very specific, detailed, and baroque composition, it will require some extra time of coordination to learn and understand all your requirements but rest assured that I will make everything possible to personalize your wedding painting in your way.

My style is deeply rooted in capturing the essence and emotions of the moment, blending it seamlessly with the breathtaking beauty of Hawaii. I gravitate towards a romantic impressionistic approach, using expressive brushstrokes to evoke the warmth, light, and vibrant colors of our islands. Each piece is a unique reflection of the couple's love story, set against the backdrop of Hawaii's iconic landscapes. My goal is always to provide a lasting memory, a piece of art that resonates with the joy, passion, and aloha spirit of that special day. Whether it's the azure waters, golden sands, or the intimate moments between a couple, I strive to immortalize it all on canvas. Mahalo for recognizing and appreciating the heart and soul I pour into each painting. Would you like to make your special day even more unforgettable with a live wedding painting?

I typically arrive at your event venue 2 to 3 hours before the ceremony or reception begins.

Impressionistic painting is a unique artistic style that captures the artist's or viewer's overall impression of a scene, rather than focusing on intricate details. As a live wedding painter,(https://www.mauiweddingart.com/live-painting) my style combines elements of Impressionism with realism to create stunning and memorable artworks for your special day. Originating in 1870s France, the Impressionism movement rejected the rigid rules of the beaux-arts ("fine arts") and introduced a new approach to observing and depicting the world. Rather than creating realistic portrayals, Impressionist artists focused on capturing fleeting impressions of their surroundings, often found outdoors. Working en plein air (in the open air) allowed these artists to quickly capture the momentary and transient effects of sunlight on their subjects. This resulted in a heightened awareness of light, color, and the shifting patterns of the natural scene. Impressionist brushwork is typically rapid and fragmented, with separate dabs of paint that convey the fleeting quality of light. My live wedding paintings (https://www.mauiweddingart.com/live-painting)are influenced by the Impressionist movement, as I strive to evoke the emotions and atmosphere of your special day. By blending Impressionistic techniques with realism, I create a unique artistic style (https://www.mauiweddingart.com/about)that captures the essence of your wedding ceremony and reception while preserving the details that make your day unique. To learn more about my artistic approach and how it can enhance your wedding experience, please visit my website (https://www.mauiweddingart.com/)or contact (https://www.mauiweddingart.com/contact)me directly. I would be honored to be a part of your special day and create a lasting memory through my live wedding painting.

Caring for and maintaining your wedding painting or custom artwork is essential to ensure its longevity and preserve its beauty. Here are some tips to help you properly care for your piece: 1. Display in a safe location: Hang your painting away from direct sunlight, high humidity, or extreme temperature changes. These conditions can cause fading, warping, or other damage to the artwork. 2. Use proper framing: It's crucial to have your painting professionally framed using acid-free materials. This helps protect the artwork from dust, dirt, and potential damage. 3. Clean gently: To remove dust from the painting's surface, use a soft, dry brush or lint-free cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or water, as they can damage the artwork. 4. Regular inspection: Periodically inspect your painting for any signs of damage, such as fading, discoloration, or cracking. If you notice any issues, consult a professional conservator for advice on how to address them. 5. Avoid touching the surface: The oils from your hands can cause damage to the paint over time. Always handle the painting by its frame and avoid touching the painted surface directly.
