ALABAMA WEDDING PAINTING
Live Wedding Painting in Birmingham, Alabama
Hi, I'm Ruth! Originally from Nairobi, Kenya, I moved to Birmingham nine years ago. It's where I opened my little art studio, built my business, and discovered my love for capturing people's most special moments.
​
Over the years, I've had the joy of painting weddings at venues like Park Crest in Hoover, Windwood Equestrian in Pelham, Pursell Farms in Sylacauga, Stone Bridge Farms in Cullman, the Birmingham Museum of Art, and many others. I love celebrating with couples in the city I call home, and with my studio right here in Birmingham, local couples enjoy my lowest starting prices without additional long-distance travel costs.

My studio is in Birmingham, so local weddings start at $3,500. For weddings in other locations, travel is included in your pricing based on the wedding location you share with me.
WHAT HAPPENS ON THE DAY?
My arrival time depends on your wedding schedule and the moment you choose to have painted. I set up near the celebration, paint as your day unfolds, and add final touches back in my Birmingham studio.
