Live Wedding Painting in California’s Bay Area and Central Coast

Vibrant, Fun, and Timeless Wedding Art Keepsakes

Capture the magic of your wedding day on canvas — live, in real time.

I’m a California-based live wedding painter specializing in vibrant, joyful artwork that blends realism and impressionism. From the rolling vineyards of Paso Robles to the cliffs of Big Sur, I transform your once-in-a-lifetime moments into colorful, expressive paintings that tell your unique love story.

What Is a Live Wedding Painting?

A live wedding painting is both art and entertainment — I set up my easel at your ceremony or reception and paint the scene as it unfolds. Guests love watching the painting come to life, and you’ll take home a one-of-a-kind keepsake that beautifully captures the emotion, color, and joy of your celebration.

My Art Style

My work is fun, vibrant, and full of life — a balance between realism and impressionism. Each painting captures real details — your venue, your outfits, your loved ones — while adding a touch of expressive brushwork and color that brings the moment to life.

Whether it’s the glow of golden-hour light or the motion of your first dance, my goal is to create art that feels both authentic and magical.
