~Popular Questions~
What is your art style?
I would describe my art style as abstract realism, I render the most details in the bride and groom, capturing their essence, while still creating the beauty in brush strokes and slight pops of color. Please see my previous work to know if my style is the right fit for you!
How much do you charge?
Rates start at $950, prices may differ depending on canvas size, location, and add-ons.
Do you travel?
I sure do! I am available to fly wherever you have your wedding! Hawaii? Greece? Paris? I would love to be there to paint a memory of your beautiful day! Additional accommodations and fees are required for events outside of east Tennessee.
Will you have insurance?
Yes! Sometimes venues require a specific type of insurance, if that is the case Faith will reach out to the venue for more info.
Can guests be in the painting?
Yes, they can! Guests are available to be added on in the Pink Rose and White Rose Packages. Each guest added will be painted with their likeness but won't steal away the focus of the newlywed! Faith charges $65 per additional guest or an added $700 for more than 10 guests.
Can I take the painting home at the end of the day?
Due to the nature of oil paint the painting will not be dry or ready to take home at the end of the event, but the wait is well worth it! 60-90% of the painting will be completed during the event, at the end of the event Faith will take the painting back to the studio for final details, while also allowing for the proper drying time. The painting can be expected within 8-12 weeks after the event, unless stated otherwise in the package you choose.
What if my wedding already passed? Or my wedding date is not available?
No worries! Faith can still create a painting from your wedding! Faith will use your photo from your professional photographer of the special moment as a reference for your painting.
What painting medium is used?
Faith uses high quality oil paint and varnish on a stretched canvas to ensure the longevity of your painting.

~How It All Works~
Are you ready to book your live wedding painter?
- Contact Faith with your wedding date and venue, she will schedule a free 30 minute over the phone consultation with you! Faith would love to connect with you and chat about what you're looking for in a painting, with things such as the first kiss, first dance, the size canvas that fits your space, etc. Faith knows how stressful wedding planning can be and wants this process to be as seamless as possible, she has a list of all the little details to workout, so if you are unsure you don't need to stress!
- After a package that best fits you is chosen, you can secure your date with 30% non-refundable retainer, and set up a payment plan for the remaining balance, to be payed before the date of the event.
- On the big day Faith will arrive 1-2 hours prior, to the moment that will be painted, to set up and begin working on the composition of the space.
- Faith will take her own reference pictures of the moment that will be painted, but don't worry! Faith will make sure to stay out of the photographer/videographers way!
- Faith will continue painting in the predetermined space for guests to watch as the painting unfolds.
- At the end of the event or agreed time Faith will have completed 60-90% of the painting to be revealed to the bride and groom prior to the send off/packing up.
- Faith will bring the painting back to her studio to finish all the final details before letting the oil paint properly dry. A picture proof of the final painting will be sent to the couple.
- The painting will then be varnished and ready to hang, the sides of the painting will be painted so no frame will be necessary but can be added on for an additional fee.
- The painting will be hand delivered if the couple is local or shipped through in the mail if located further away.
- A certificate of authenticity will also be included when the painting is delivered!
