​​​What Affects the Cost of a Live Wedding Painting?
Several factors influence the cost of your wedding painting:

Canvas Size: Larger canvases naturally involve more work and materials, resulting in a higher cost.
-
Duration: More time spent painting on-site and in the studio allows for more detail, refinement, and a high-end finish.

Customization: Incorporating specific elements, like a particular flower arrangement or your beloved pet, can affect the time and intricacy of the painting.

Why Choose a Live Wedding Painting?
A live wedding painting is more than just a piece of art; it's an experience that adds to the magic of your celebration. Your guests will love watching the painting come to life, and you'll receive a timeless reminder of your happiest moments. This investment is not just for a single day; it’s for a lifetime.
Planning Your Investment
I recommend booking early, as some couples reserve up to 18 months in advance to secure their preferred date. A 50% deposit is required upon booking to lock in your spot, with the remaining balance due closer to the wedding.
