A live wedding painting is a unique piece of art created during your wedding day. Ruth sets up at your venue and paints a key moment—like your first kiss or first dance—in real time for your guests to enjoy, then adds final details in the studio.

Question 2

How much does a live wedding painting cost?

Live wedding painting packages start at $3,200 for local weddings. The final price depends on canvas size, travel, and any requested add-ons like more detailed guests or upgraded frames.

Question 3

Can I choose what moment gets painted?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can select your favorite moment—such as your ceremony, first look, or first dance—and Ruth will focus on painting that exact scene.

Question 4

Do I get to see the painting before it's finished?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. You'll see the progress on your wedding day and receive a final, polished version after studio touch-ups. Ruth also sends you a photo of the completed painting before shipping.

Do you travel outside Alabama?
