On the Day
A quiet performance in the background and a favorite conversation piece for your guests.
- 6–10 hours of live painting during your reception or chosen moment.
- Professional materials on gallery-wrapped canvas, ready to hang.
- Reference photos taken throughout the evening to refine details later.
- Guests are welcome to visit the easel, ask questions, and watch the painting unfold.
After the Wedding
This is where the quiet work happens—softening edges, perfecting likenesses, and balancing the light.
- 30–80 hours of studio refinement, glazing, and final details.
- Archival varnish for protection and a gentle, luminous finish.
- High-resolution photo of the finished painting for your personal use.
Travel & Logistics
Planned so I can arrive rested, prepared, and fully focused on your painting.
- Travel within a comfortable driving radius from Middlebury, CT is included.
- For longer drives, flights, or multi-day travel, a simple travel fee and (if needed) lodging are added.
- All travel details are confirmed in writing so there are no surprises later.
- Careful packing and insured shipping of the finished painting are billed separately at cost once it is ready to travel.
Adding Loved Ones & Special Details
Sometimes a painting becomes even more meaningful when we gently weave in additional guests, pets, or the presence of someone who can only be there in spirit.
Ideal when you’d like parents, siblings, or a member of your wedding party clearly featured alongside you.
For the dogs, cats, or other companions who feel like family and deserve a little corner of the canvas.
Added with care from cherished photos, so the painting quietly reflects their presence on your day.
A Note on Likeness & Time
Every figure is not just another face—it is drawing, paint, and time devoted to that person.
- Each clearly rendered person requires extra care to capture their likeness and personality.
- When we add figures, I build that time into your quote so the painting never feels rushed.
- We’ll decide together who is most important to include and keep the composition elegant rather than crowded.
Reserving Your Date
Once your date is reserved, that day belongs to you and your painting.
To officially secure your date, a signed agreement and a non-refundable retainer are required. The remaining balance is due closer to your wedding day, and every detail is outlined clearly in writing.
