Live Wedding Painting for Los Angeles and Beyond

 

With Love From Heidi

 

 

 

 

Making feelings last forever,
with live wedding painting in Los Angeles and destinations nationwide.

You’ve dreamed of this day. Hold on to it, with a live wedding painting.

 

It’s the morning after your wedding… it all flew by so fast. Did that even happen?

You turn, and see your painting, filled with all the energy of the night, and all the joy comes flooding back. Your phone chimes: yet another friend,”I take full credit for the shadow under the dinner plates.” They’re giddy. You look at your painting again and see the hands and hearts of all your closest humans.

Suddenly, it didn’t go by so fast at all. All that love is forever just a glance away.

Your Vibe.  Made Visible.

 

This is your magic, your energy, your love.  And we put it on canvas. Together.

Imagine, your guests guided by a skilled wedding artist to together make art in front of your eyes.  Its you, its them, it’s this party you poured your entire heart into.   And your closest circle are capturing it with their own hands, through the most special night of your life.  The result is a love-infused guestbook on canvas.

Have you seen only portrait-style wedding paintings, but that’s not your vibe?  No worries. I love to capture the whole scene of the party.  Many more examples of that style on my live event painting page.

You choose if you want to bring the painting home to love it immediately, or if you want detail and refinement added in studio.  Either way,  Heidi will be live painting your wedding, bringing it to life during your reception.  rooted in togetherness. 

 Once you’ve decided that and your canvas size, I only need 5’x7′ of space, everything else comes with me.
The wonder stays with you.

Live wedding painting pricing for Los Angeles includes transit within 50 miles of my studio in Santa Monica (Communities in that range include Malibu, much of Ventura county and Orange county, Beverly Hills and more.)

I’m thrilled to paint your wedding outside of that area, with modest travel fees throughout Southern California and central and northern California wine countries.  Inquire for travel specifics.

Hi! I’m Heidi. I guide your loved ones as we paint sights and feelings.

Your big day is going to be stunning. You will be stunning.  And, there will be so so much more going on that just what the eye sees.  My impressionistic paintings capture what the heart feels on wedding day. 

I’ve been called the “Bob Ross of Weddings”, because with soft encouragement, I guide your guests to do the painting.  It’s as interactive as it is awe inspiring. 

Soft and full of movement, these paintings feel like memories.  They’re bubbles of joy, and fever dreams of precious moments…

Moments you’ll want to hold onto forever.

Together, we can.
