Gallery wrap, archival canvas with finished edges.
Archival quality acrylic paint and varnish.

How to order:
Send an email including the size of the painting you would like, and your wedding date. Also let me know if you want something specific to be captured from your day, like the first dance or the first kiss. If you’re having a portrait made for someone who’s already married, go ahead and include the photograph you want painted, or a selection if you’d like me to choose.
I’ll send you an invoice, and you pay a 50% deposit to claim your space on my calendar.
For live portraits, I will come to your wedding venue one to three hours before the ceremony (depending on the size of your piece) and start painting the background. during the ceremony, I’ll film on my phone and choose my look from the video. If we didn’t discuss it ahead of time, I usually choose the first kiss. You will likely see the finished painting by the end of the night! If you had a larger size and the painting will take longer, I’ll bring it home to my studio and finish it up.
For portraits from photographs, please allow three to four weeks to paint your piece.
Once I’m finished, I’ll send you a picture to make sure you’re happy. If necessary, I can make adjustments to make sure everything is just as you like it! When you’re pleased, you pay the remaining 50% of your commission fee.
I’ll ship your painting, or you may pick it up from the studio in person. Allow three business days and I will send a tracking number when I have it.
Enjoy your painting!
“Elizabeth did a live painting at our wedding ceremony and a framed bouquet portrait and both paintings were so beautiful. And she was so nice! I definitely recommend!

“I am so grateful we had Elizabeth do a live painting of our wedding day! She was so easy to work with and the piece is absolutely amazing. Our guests loved watching her work throughout the night and we have a beautiful piece that captures our big day perfectly.

“A light of joy to have at your wedding!
Elizabeth is the absolute kindest soul! I recently had the pleasure of working with her and getting to see her work in live action at The Little Chapels grand open house. She was a trooper having to work under a pop tent outside of the chapel entryway what it was raining outside. She greeted the newly engaged couples as they entered the space. She has a whimsical approach to her live paintings, and they captivate the memory of the day so beautifully! Hire Elizabeth for your wedding or even just invest in her stunning artwork she has listed in her shop - you won’t regret it! ”
