How does commissioning a live wedding painter work?

I converse with the couple (or, alternatively, the painting can be a thoughtful gift from friends or family) to determine what the painting will depict. I set up at the venue several hours ahead of time in order to lay in the architectural or landscape details and will remain on-site until the open dancing starts or end of reception. And yes, I love to answer guests' questions, and encourage them to watch the "painterly" process! It's an added element of live entertainment on your special day!

What do you charge for wedding paintings?

My wedding painting packages begin at $3500.

Please contact me with the date, time, and location of your event and venue, and I will give you full booking details and a quote. If you are undecided, I am happy to chat with you if you are just interested and would like to know more, want to check my availability, or would like a rough estimate. 

How much space do you need to set up?

About 5’ x 7’. I bring my own equipment. I am happy to place my easel on a clean drop cloth if requested, am fully insured and can provide an insurance rider for the venue if needed. A small table and chair at the event is always appreciated. Access to an outlet is needed.

How do I book you?

I require a retainer and a signed contract to secure your painting. Full payment for the painting is due by the day of the event.

Do you offer thank you cards or professional, limited edition prints of the finished painting?

Yes! I am happy to take a professional photograph of your painting and create thank you cards, limited edition, or signed prints for family or friends.

How far in advance do I need to contact you? 

I suggest reaching out once you have a date + venue chosen. I don't book more than a year in advance. I do occasionally have cancellations so it never hurts to inquire even if your wedding is only a couple months away.

Do you travel outside Texas? 

I travel for Domestic + International weddings / engagements /special events in the US and abroad.

What are your travel fees?

Packages include travel for the first hour and a half beyond the studio. Events further than that will accrue $.67 per additional mile plus any necessary toll/parking fees.

I travel throughout the country and internationally. Travel costs will be included in your proposal and will include compensation for airfare or mileage, hotel accommodations 2+ hours from my studio in NH, and a rental car if necessary. Events more than 4 hours away by car will be assessed a minimum travel stipend of $1000 for East Coast celebrations and $1500 for West Coast celebrations (for time spent traveling, meals, and miscellaneous expenses). International travel is billed individually. This stipend is not required for weddings located at a driving distance of less than 4 hours from my home studio.

If it is required that I ship the painting back to the studio to complete, then shipping + handling and insurance will also be added to your proposal.

Do you paint from photos? 

Wedding or special event already happened? I also create paintings from events that have already occurred and can work from photographs.

What else do you paint? 

I  paint wedding bouquets, bridal shoes, and dresses - even the groom's outfit! Of course, as a professional artist, I also paint and sculpt traditional portraits. You can view my studio work here.
