LIVE WEDDING PAINTER IN GEORGIA
Where your love story becomes a masterpiece

ATLANTA, GA | LIVE PAINTER
Get to know Ruth Oneya: your live wedding painter
Hi, I'm Ruth! Originally from Nairobi, Kenya, I'm based in Birmingham, about two and a half hours west of Atlanta. Atlanta is one of my favorite cities to paint in, and I've painted weddings all over the metro, from Midtown to Buckhead.
​
As your live wedding painter, I set up my easel at your venue and capture your chosen moment as the celebration unfolds. Your guests get to watch the painting come to life throughout the evening, and after a few finishing touches in my studio, you'll have a one-of-a-kind piece of art to remember your day.
​
Atlanta is an easy drive from my studio, so travel is already built into your pricing. There's no separate travel fee to add.
GEORGIA WEDDING PAINTING
Live Wedding Painting in Atlanta, Georgia
From The Biltmore Ballrooms in Midtown and InterContinental Buckhead to The Peachtree Club, Pryor Engagements downtown and The Wheeler House in Ball Ground, I've had the pleasure of painting weddings at beautiful venues across Atlanta and North Georgia.
​
Each location brings something different to the canvas, whether it's the architecture, the natural surroundings, or the little details that make your wedding day yours.
