Live wedding painting, in oils, at your wedding

One scene of your day, captured on canvas while it happens, in Switzerland and anywhere in Europe.

What is live wedding painting?

An easel is set up at your wedding, and one moment of your day is painted live: the ceremony under the trees, your first dance, the two of you on the terrace with the lake behind. Throughout the celebration, your guests watch the canvas fill with colour.

What stays with you is an original oil painting on canvas of your wedding. Not a print, not a filter, but a work of art to hang at home and, one day, to pass on.

It starts with your vision

Before the big day, we talk through your venue, your mood and the moment you’d love to see painted. You’ll know exactly what to expect: the composition, the timing, where the easel will stand.

Garden party, lakeside palace, Provençal bastide, castle in the hills: the painting follows your setting, never a template.

On your wedding day

The easel arrives early and the painting grows for five hours or more, from life and from discreet reference photos, so nobody has to pose.

The light, the colours, who was laughing next to whom: the atmosphere of your day becomes part of the canvas.

A photo shows what happened. A painting shows how it felt.

For your guests, it’s a quiet spectacle: they drift over with a glass of champagne, watch for a while, and come back later to see how far it has come.

Your guests can add a brushstroke

If you’d like, your loved ones can pick up the brush for a stroke or two, turning the painting into something made together. Entirely your choice.

A painting with everyone in it

Your mother, your best friend, your new family: each adds a touch, and the canvas keeps a little piece of everyone who was there. It’s gently guided, so it stays joyful and the painting stays beautiful.

By the end of the evening

The painting is nearly complete, so you and your guests can admire the whole scene before the last dance. It then returns to the studio for its final details.

Oh Linh, we absolutely love the painting! You are truly amazing! All the details you managed to capture are fantastic. Thank you so much for this wonderful memory!

Finished with care in the studio

After the wedding, the details are refined (faces, light, the small things that make it unmistakably your day) before the canvas is varnished for protection.

Once dry, it comes home to you: delivered within Switzerland, or carefully shipped anywhere else.

Painted above Lake Geneva, on Lake Zurich and Lake Lucerne, in Ticino, near Paris and in Burgundy. Next, perhaps, at your wedding.
