Live Wedding Paintings

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. 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 to 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.

Custom portraits are great gifts that keep all kinds of memories alive and fill our homes with sentimental art pieces.

Custom portraits can range from pet portraits to wedding bouquets, home portraits to landscapes, nursery items to any other idea you may have in mind.

All I need is a good, quality photo to work from!

TYPES OF PORTRAITS

  • Pet portrait

  • Home portrait

THINGS TO NOTE:

  1. Please have photos of the subject that you want painted. (Preferably one favorite photo.) I will reach out to you via email or text for the photos after your order is placed. It is very important to send the most accurate photo, as coloring and positioning will be dependent on the photo.

  2. These portraits are my own representation of the picture you send me. I do allow up to 3 rounds of tweaks, but each additional tweak after that will be $25. That will be invoiced to you and must be paid before the tweaks take place. I will only start over on a portrait if I feel I had not done my best work.

  3. Orders are open at all times unless the orders become too many. My goal is to always have orders completed within the month that they’re ordered unless they’re ordered towards the end of the month.

  4. If you’re unsure about your order idea or about how to order, head to the question button below and give me some details of what you’re wanting. I will get back with you quickly to get your order set up and ready!

“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!”
