I'm Molly- a painter and illustrator based in NWA. I have been an illustrator for 15 years, and I have my BFA in Painting from Memphis College of Art. I love to celebrate love stories, and am a massive romantic at heart. Live wedding paintings aren't just a novelty, or a trend- they are an heirloom that you can pass down to family for generations. I love challenges, and that's a big part of why I love being a live wedding painter. Everything happens so fast! I can make a painting in 4 hours or less- from the ceremony though your reception. Currently still have some openings for fall 2025, but booking up fast!

I had the absolute pleasure of seeing Molly from Blush Bloom Studio in action, and I can’t recommend her enough! She painted a live watercolor of the couple’s wedding kiss at the reception, and it was incredible to witness. Her attention to detail, ability to color match, and the way she captured the emotion of the moment in such a delicate, artistic way left everyone in awe. Not only is she extremely talented, but Molly is also a true professional. Her communication was warm, kind, and genuine from start to finish. Watching her work in real time was such a unique and magical experience—and she completed the painting by the end of the reception! If you're looking for a meaningful and breathtaking keepsake for your wedding day, I can’t think of a more special way to capture the moment. Molly’s work is unforgettable!

5.0

El Paso, TX
  • Live painters & artists
  • Starts at $888

My purpose is to capture the essence of your love on canvas. The best part is that it is painted live during your wedding day. You and your loved ones get to witness the process of your painting from start to finish, while you enjoy your wedding. At the end of the night, you get to see the completed magic & take it home as your very own heirloom.

Faridi's Artwork Live Wedding Painting was an incredible addition to our special day. From our first interaction, the communication was professional, friendly, and respectful, making the entire process fun and stress-free. Faridi's attention to detail is incredible - she was able to beautifully capture the essence of our wedding, incorporating my daughter and my beloved dog who had recently passed away. Her work is beyond amazing and truly exceeded our expectations. Faridi's live painting was a unique and cherished moment that we will treasure forever. We highly recommend Faridi's Artwork to any couple looking to immortalize their wedding day in a truly special way.

Dejane Jane De Art

Alamo, CA
  • Gifts and favors
  • Live painters & artists
  • Starts at $2,000

Hi, I'm Jane from DejaneJanedeArt, a watercolor artist based in NY and Bay Area Northern California, but available for destination weddings internationally. Want to give a wedding gift that’s as unique and personal as the couple’s love story? Live wedding painting is an interactive and memorable experience. This allows your guests to watch as I create a beautiful artwork in real-time, capturing the magic of your celebration right before their eyes. As a result, the couple will receive a fully framed, ready-to-hang original artwork that will transport them back to this special day whenever they look at it.

We booked Jane shortly before our wedding, and I couldn’t be happier that we did. I’d been interested in incorporating live painting into our wedding for a while but struggled to find someone available and within our budget. On my MIL's recommendation, I decided to take another look—and I’m so glad I found Jane. Having her live paint at our wedding was an incredible experience. Our guests were captivated as they watched her create during the ceremony and throughout the evening. As it turned out, we had a lot in common personally and creatively—she’s also planning her own wedding—which made working together feel serendipitous. From our first conversation to meeting her in person on our wedding day, everything just clicked. Jane completed the painting so quickly! Due to our honeymoon, we didn’t get to see it in person until about a month after the wedding, but it was well worth the wait. The painting is stunning and now hangs across from our bed, where it serves as a daily reminder of our special day. Jane is incredibly creative and collaborative. Also, she traveled from NY to Northern Virginia for the day! She even offered great advice on sizing and framing, helping us choose the perfect option for our space. The live painting experience was truly one-of-a-kind, but I’d absolutely work with her again on other projects, like her beautiful pet or architectural paintings.

AmberMarie Art 

5.0

Mission Viejo, CA
  • Live painters & artists
  • Starts at $1,900

I’m from Southern California and studied fine art in college along with a business degree. When Covid hit, it derailed my schooling and I took a work opportunity that fell in my lap. However, I threw my art to the wayside for about a year and found myself thinking that I was missing out on my dream. I did my first wedding in the summer of 2022. It was incredible to see the couples reaction to my work; something they can cherish for a life time and to create a unique experience not only for them, but for their guests! From there I decided to take the leap to provide this unique experience for others.

My husband and I hired Amber Marie as a live painter for our wedding day. She was an absolute delight to work with, from beginning to end. We absolutely love her artistic style (a bit more on the colorful and whimsical side of true-to-life) and she was so professional on site. We would absolutely recommend hiring her to any couple planning their wedding day in Southern California and looking to add a special experience as well as a beautiful piece of art to keep as a memory. Honestly, between this piece of art vs our other wedding memorabilia... this painting is what we would choose to grab first in a fire. I also work in the wedding industry, and Amber Marie continues to be the first vendor I recommend to clients looking for a wedding painter, because I know her standards for professionalism match mine and I am always happy to work with her. So whether you're a friend, a client, or just a couple planning your day on your own - I can give my wholehearted recommendation to Amber!

Knoxville, TN
  • Live painters & artists

Get instant pricing on my website! With over a 1M views on social media, I'm thankful to see such a positive response to my artwork. My whole life I have loved art! My first day of Kindergarten, my parents asked me what I hoped to do at school that day. I responded by saying, "I want to paint, paint a picture for my sister." I studied art in college and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art Education from Tennessee Tech University in 2006. I worked as an art educator for several years and as a full time independent artist since 2012. I have been featured by a number of podcasts, magazines, TV, as a keynote speaker, and across the globe.

Heather Wolfe Art (Live Painting) was a true highlight of our wedding day. Heather's communication throughout the process was kind, thoughtful, and quick - she worked closely with us to understand our vision and delivered a stunning, detailed, and completely unique live painting that captured the beauty and joy of our special day. Everyone at the wedding raved about Heather's talent and how magical it was to watch the painting come together right before our eyes. Her professionalism and warm, personable demeanor made her one of the major highlights that our guests are still talking about. We feel so fortunate to have had Heather be a part of our wedding, and highly recommend her services to any couple looking for a truly special and memorable addition to their big day.
