Rachel made everything easy from booking to day of! We were so excited for our wedding painting and it couldn’t have turned out more beautiful! She’s so easy going and such a pleasure to work with - I would recommend her to everyone!
Rachel turned our wedding night from a night I’ll remember forever to a night everyone will remember forever. I booked Rachel as a surprise to my fiancé as a wedding gift. Rachel was accommodating, professional, and extremely detailed. She was easy to work with, and came with a vision for the event.

I will arrive 2-3 hours prior to the moment you want captured to begin painting in the background, and then add in the most important part–the newly wed couple! I’ll love chatting with your guests throughout the evening as your painting comes to life.
After about 6 hours, I will take the painting home to add finishing touches and varnish in my studio, and then ship your painting to your home, ready to hang! Of course, from the time of our first conversation up until your wedding day, do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or ideas that arise in the meantime!

THE PROCESS
Yes! If you are within 2 hours of Columbus, Ohio, travel fees are waived. If travel outside of 2 hours one-way is required, additional travel fees apply, including gas mileage and an overnight stay.
Q: Do you travel?
Absolutely! In addition to weddings, live painting is perfect for anniversary parties, engagements, fundraising events, birthday parties, and more!
Q: Do you paint other events?
I paint from photos as well! I am able to use just one reference photo or combine multiple photos to create the perfect painting to remember your wedding day.
Q: What if my wedding already happened?
I use professional grade acrylic paint on a pre-stretched canvas.
Q: What type of paint do you use?
I aim to have your live painting 80-90% complete while onsite at your event. I will then take the painting home for touch-ups, and aim to have it ready to hang 6-8 weeks after your event. If you are in Columbus, we can arrange a pick-up or delivery. If you live outside of Columbus, the painting will be packaged and shipped to you.
Q: How long does it take for me to get the painting back after the wedding?
I aim to be quite self-sufficient when it comes to my set-up at your event, but I do request the following: Access to a power outlet to plug in my lamp and access to a water source.
Q: Do you require special on-site provisions from the venue?
I will paint on-site for 6-7 hours, arriving about 2-3 hours prior to the event to begin painting in the background.
Q: How many hours do you paint on-site?
Live wedding paintings begin at $1,600 for a 16x20” canvas. Get in touch to learn more about all of the packages available.
