Live Wedding Painting
Heirloom pieces to last lifetimes. Your love story painted live, turning the best day into captivating fine art.
We work together to craft a vision for your painting based on your specific love story and what is important to you. I ask a lot of guided questions that help me translate your story onto canvas.
On your wedding day, I’ll arrive early to set up and plan the painting. Guests will then be able to watch the process unravel, and if they’re feeling artistic, they can even join in! It’s a mesmerizing process that is full of energy and brings a very special element to an already special day. After your painting is revealed at the end of the night, I’ll take it home to finish any final details in the studio, let it dry, and have it varnished and wired before it’s ready to be picked up or shipped!

Live Painting Near Me - I travel!
I am currently located in North Carolina but have several home bases and love to travel. I always do what I can to keep travel costs low. I also have home bases out of Fort Wayne Indiana, Indianapolis, Maryland, Kailua-Kona Hawai’i, Oregon, and California. I do not charge travel fees within 2.5 hours of Wilmington, NC. Extended and overnight travel may include fees that are dependent upon airfare and lodging.

I recommend taking the first steps to check availability for your date by filling out my contact form as soon as possible. If I am not available for your date I am more than happy to create a studio piece for you. Check here for more information on commissions.
FAQs
When will I receive my painting?
You will receive your painting within eight weeks of your wedding date. The professional-grade oil paints I use do require weeks to dry before I can varnish and ship your painting. This ensures that your painting will be a multi-generational keepsake! This also allows for studio touch-ups after the wedding as needed.
What do I need to book?
Once you have confirmed my availability we will schedule a commitment-free consultation call to plan your perfect painting. To reserve your wedding date I will send you a contract and typically collect a 50% deposit, although I am flexible with payment plans.
Do you offer live guest portraits?
Yes! I have a separate page for live guest portraits and they are so much fun! You can visit this page for more specific information. I offer limited availability for guest portraits.
Can we have our ceremony painted and book live guest portraits?
Yes! I can even begin your heirloom piece during the ceremony to finish later in the studio and work on live guest portraits throughout the reception. The guests absolutely love this and it works as a great favor and experience all in one! I can work with you to determine the best package options!

She provided great insight from other weddings she has done and advised what might work best with our group. She puts a lot of love and time into her work and it absolutely shows!”
“We hired Amanda for our wedding in February 2024. We opted for a canvas painting of the ceremony. She exceeded our expectations! She was so easy to work with & so kind! Truly, the best part of the wedding. I highly recommend her for any event!”
