Simple from the start
We connect
Reach out with your wedding date and location. If I'm available, we set up a quick call to talk through your vision, the moment you want painted, and which size fits your day.
You're booked
A simple contract and a 50% deposit secures your date. From there I guide you through everything — timeline, colors, any special details you want captured.
I paint live
I arrive early, set up, and paint throughout your celebration. I take a reference photo of the moment we chose together and work from it the entire evening.
It's yours
After the wedding I bring the painting back to my studio, add the final details, varnish it for protection, and deliver it to you. The remaining 50% is due on completion.
The Work
Every painting is one of a kind
Night of vs. Finished
The difference the studio makes
What you see at the end of the night is just the beginning. I spend the next few weeks back in my studio adding the final details that make the painting come fully alive.
End of the night
The painting leaves the event with Tessa. The foundation is there — the composition, the light, the moment.
Finished in studio
Facial features, dress texture, florals, lighting. Every detail refined until it's exactly what it should be.

“There's a moment at every wedding when the bride walks down the aisle. And even after painting at dozens of them, I still get goosebumps every single time.”
I paint live at weddings because I love people, and I love capturing the moments that matter most. A photograph is beautiful, but a painting is something different.
What I want, more than anything, is for you to walk past your painting ten years from now and feel everything all over again.
