10 Reasons to Hire Live Painting PGH for Your Wedding

 

1.      You LOVE art. If you are an art lover like us, inviting a live painter to paint at your wedding is just a bonus. After your wedding, you will have original art to hang in your home! Our paintings make great conversation pieces. Not many people even know what a live painter is (unless you’re on tiktok). Everyone is generally fascinated with the idea and our paintings!

2.      You’re looking for the perfect wedding gift. Well, you found it. We’re biased, but we’ve seen the happy tears too many times… we have the proof!  Gifting a painting to a loved one is as special as it gets. It’s thoughtful, meaningful, and makes everyone so happy!

3.      You need that extra something at your wedding. We are great entertainment for your guests! Everyone loves to see the progress of the painting throughout the night. As we paint your wedding day, we are mingling and letting people paint. Flower girls are always the first to ask if they can paint. 😊 If you watch closely, you may even see Jaison juggle his paint brushes. He’s got tricks.

4.      Investing in art is an experience! We work together to create your painting that you will have forever. It’s our mission to really understand your vision. Apart from our painting style, you have creative control (that’s if you want it). Some couples leave the decision making up to us, which is fun too! Do you have a specific vision in mind or do you want to be surprised? Both are great!

5.      We’re vessels for you wedding day. We essentially absorb the energy of the day and transfer it onto the canvas. We take in everything from the mood to the décor. You get to see one of the best days of your life through the eyes of an artist!

6.      You’re supporting local artists! ..and their two cats. While being an artist can be a rewarding lifestyle, it is not an easy one. It’s constant work. So we are extremely grateful for all of our couples that help us keep and maintain our livelihood!

7.      Our paintings are family heirlooms! I know if our parents had a painting of their wedding, we would cherish it forever and hang it in our home. It would be so cool to pass your painting down to family so they can always be in the presence of your love story.

8.      You will have a constant reminder of your wedding day. You will see your painting every day. So hopefully on those particularly hard days, you will be reminded of what’s truly important and why you fight so hard for each other. 😊  

9.      Our booking process is pretty low maintenance. We put a lot of thought into everything so the process is easy and fun! Once we have a strong idea of your vision for the painting, we take care of the rest. We are often hired as a surprise because of this very reason. On wedding day, it takes us just 5 minutes to set up and we’re ready to paint!

10.  Our style is the best of both worlds.  Our work is a dance between impressionism and realism. With every painting, we strive to not only capture the literal details of the scene, but also convey the unseen energy of the moment with our unique artistic style and expressive brushwork. In other words, we would rather paint the flying spirit of the bird than its feathers (this is a quote by Robert Henri, an artist and teacher that we admire with every fiber of our being).
