"Phenomenal work! Emily was amazing to work with from the very beginning. This is the best wedding highlight for me and my partner" (Excerpt from a Google Review)
I am a well-established live event painter, specialising in weddings who will come and paint your special day, so that you have a unique keepsake to take home. I’ll travel to your venue to paint you and your guests in the beautiful setting you have created. I believe a painting can illustrate the magic at a celebration in ways that photographs don’t always show and guests will enjoy seeing the picture evolve throughout the festivities.

Live Painting
See Emily Paint Full Description
Live painting is a wonderful way to fully translate the atmosphere of the day. As a professional artist with a passion for painting, Emily will aim to bring an extra special element to your day by immortalising it in an original piece of art. A painting can illustrate the magic at a celebration in ways that photographs don’t always show. Furthermore, having a live artist at your wedding is a unique form of entertainment and your guests will enjoy seeing the picture unfold throughout the festivities. Based in south east Essex, Emily has sold her paintings through London-based galleries and at art fairs. With a BA (hons) degree in Fine Art and a postgraduate qualification in teaching, she has taught art to all ages. Emily has always loved painting people and trying to convey their personality in a likeness. Her well-rounded style can be applied to landscapes as well as figures; just what's needed for painting celebrations!

The final result truly is spectacular
"Wow! What can I say about Emily, Angie, and the wonderful painting we received from our special day. When I stumbled across Emily I knew she was the one. I communicated through Angie who made sure the process was seamless. Emily was with us for the whole day on our wedding and guests loved seeing the painting come together and the final result truly is spectacular. Thank you so much to Emily and Angie for truly helping to capture this once-in-a-lifetime piece that we will treasure forever."

"One word: breathtaking!
"Emily captured everything so beautifully from our emotions, to the details of the setting down to the details of the clothes and people! She had taken the time to ask what we wanted and delivered just that - in fact, above and beyond our expectations. Support staff Angie was a pleasure to interact with - helpful and communicative. We cannot thank you enough for this priceless memory"

Emily was a joy to have around for the day!
Emily did such a fabulous job: we love the painting and all of our guests really enjoyed seeing it take shape through the day! Everything was very well organised from our initial planning meeting to receiving the finished painting in the post. The painting itself is wonderful: it really captures the feeling and colours of the day. Emily was a joy to have around for the day. Fun to work with, very easy going and chatty with all of our guests and lovely to see how her work developed over the day!

The final painting was stunning!
Emily and Angie have both been amazing. Their communication and organisation made the whole process feel smooth. Emily was able to cater to all our needs as our venue had many requirements for her to be able to paint there. Emily & Angie both kept us in the loop throughout the process and allowed us to make as many requests as we wanted for the final printing. The final painting was stunning and the attention to detail was impeccable. So glad we managed to secure Emily for our wedding.

Her Work is Incredible!
Emily did the live painting for our Anand Karaj in August last year and you will still find us staring at the painting in our room, amazed at the detail! Her work is incredible and she really takes your requirements into consideration! I knew she would be the best for this - thank you Emily, you've given us a memory to forever cherish

So much more than the painting
Emily was simply wonderful! Very easy and happy to arrange a zoom call to discuss our thoughts. As our wedding was far from where Emily is normally based she was very accommodating and made the whole experience very enjoyable. It’s so much more than the painting, it was a form of entertainment to see the painting process throughout the day! Would definitely recommend. Thank you!

Our guests found it fascinating
We chose to have a live painting of our hand fasting ceremony, and were so lucky to find Emily. Emily painted our special moment, it was an absolute pleasure Emily being part of our day. Our guests found it fascinating watching the paining come to life. Emily is such a talented artist and was so helpful and friendly with the run up to the big day. Our beautiful painting arrived this week and we love it! Emily captured the moment so beautifully and we will cherish the painting, thank you so much

The detail is incredible
The most kind guest to have at any wedding! What an incredible artist. She was so seamless to book with and made the whole process from booking to delivering so easy. Now I can’t even begin on the artwork it’s incredible, the detail and attention to the most minor assets is incredible. Thankyou Emily for everything you were incredible. Fern

Lucky to have her as part of our big day
Emily was so beyond lovely to work with for our wedding painting. Her prices are amazing and she's just such a lovely, happy person! We felt really lucky to have her as part of our big day and the guests loved the surprise of seeing her! We caught a quick look at the painting halfway through the day and it was so stunning. Can't wait to see the final thing, but we know it will be beautiful. Emily is so talented!

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Expressive, Colourful , Figurative, Joyful, Creative

What about your business are you most proud of?

The creative approach - making something unique and beautiful to add to the magic of an exciting day.

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Try and get to a point with the planning that you’re happy with at least a week before the wedding so you can relax in the run up and do anything last minute that might come up without panicking! Also, delegate for the day - ask a bridesmaid, a groomsman or your mother-in-law to check little things on the morning of the wedding so you can relax and concentrate on getting ready!

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

I may be biased, but a live painter of course! :-)

Describe your typical process with a couple.

The couple will initially get in touch and chat with my manager Angie, either via email or on the phone. She’ll answer any questions they may have and discuss what they would like in terms of a painting, date and location of their wedding and pricing. Once everything has been agreed, I will show up at your venue on the morning of the wedding, set up my easel and paints, and start painting the background of the scene. When the guests arrive I will continue to paint and may take somephotographs to help me create the painting. I will chat to guests while working and hopefully provide some fun entertainment for them as they watch the painting unfold.

What is your No.1 top tip for keeping a crowd entertained?

To keep painting! I can try and crack some jokes but perhaps you would like a different entertainer for that :-)

Where is the most memorable place you have performed?

Definitely at North Lodge Park in Cromer, Norfolk; it’s my happy place as I used to go on holiday there as a child.

Have you had any interesting surprises at a wedding?

Once a mariachi band came up and serenaded me with a mariachi-style cover of Jesse J’s All 'About the Money'!

What is your party trick?

Making everyone look beautiful!
