What is Live Wedding Painting?

This is a new and unique way to not only capture a special moment of this day, but to also entertain your guests! I have two options for live painting:

The Couple Portrait or Guest Sketches.

*I currently only travel to locations that are within a 2 hour range from the Broken Arrow/Tulsa, OK area.

HOW IT WORKS:

I will arrive 30-45 minutes before your wedding starts to set up and prepare. For the couple portrait, I will request a few reference photos leading up to the wedding so that I can pre-sketch the portrait before arriving on the day of. Engagement photos are great for this. Pre-sketching can be a game changer for my progress at the wedding and allows for a more accurate painting. Once I arrive, I can adjust the sketch as needed and start painting for the remainder of the time paid for. For the guest sketches, my assistant will help me take pictures of the guests as they come to my table and we will create as many portraits as possible within the time frame. I will work from the photos to create quick- marker illustrations as a party favor for your guests. With my assistant, we can make about 10-15 sketches per hour.

There are also a few add-on options like:

  • Bouquet portrait

  • Matting and framing

  • Custom cards for Thank You’s

  • Additional hours

I will take the couple portrait home for final touches and wrapping. Then, the portrait (and potential add-ons) will be delivered or shipped. If any guest portraits are not completed within the time, additional portraits will be finished at home and then mailed to the couple post-wedding to disperse.

“Kristi was a dream to work with. She did an absolutely BEAUTIFUL job of live painting our wedding!

Guests at our wedding enjoyed watching her at work as she painted before, during, and after our ceremony — and we love having a stunning piece of art in our home to remember our special day by. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“Kristi painted individual paintings at my wedding for my guests. It was a hit! She was so easy to work with and customized her work to fit exactly what I was wanting. She made my day so special!”
