Why Live Wedding Painting?

Turn one of the most meaningful moments of your life into a timeless work of art.

As a professional fine artist with years of experience in classical oil painting, I create your wedding painting live on-site, allowing your guests to witness the artwork come to life throughout your celebration. More than a portrait, each painting captures the atmosphere, light, emotion, and unique story of your wedding day before being carefully refined in my studio using the highest-quality materials.

But the experience doesn't end there.

Many couples choose to complement their live wedding painting with bespoke hand-painted keepsakes and artistic details that make their celebration even more personal. Discover my collection of custom champagne bottles, illustrated silk scarves, hand-painted perfume bottles, luxury wedding stationery, guest keepsakes, family portraits, and many other bespoke wedding art creations, each individually designed to tell your story long after the celebration has ended.

LIVE ILLUSTRATION FOR J.P. MORGAN AT THE DOLDER GRAND ✨

What a wonderful Monday evening! We had the pleasure of joining J.P. Morgan Asset Management @jpmorgan at The Dolder Grand @thedoldergrand in Zurich as Live Illustrators and we loved seeing how excited the guests and speakers were about their portraits. 🤍

For this event, we created elegant black & white upper-body illustrations with a subtle touch of colour. Most guests took their artwork home that evening, while we finished the remaining portraits and group illustrations in our studio and sent them directly to J.P. Morgan afterwards.

And The Dolder Grand? As always, an absolute pleasure to work at such an attentive, welcoming and wonderful team. ✨

We’re now looking forward to the Autumn & Winter corporate season and from now on, we’re coming as a team of two, meaning more guests can be illustrated throughout the event!

Corporate events, Christmas parties & client dinners 😏bookings are now open. 🎄✨

This wedding felt a little like stepping into another century. 🇮🇹🎨🕯️

I left Rome and drove through the beautiful Italian countryside towards Tuscania, where I finally arrived at the incredible Abbazia di San Giusto.

The bride had chosen the historic chapel as the setting for her Live Wedding Painting, so I arrived early to study the architecture, light and perspective and started painting while the chapel was still completely quiet.

A few hours later, the same space was filled with guests for the most romantic ceremony. 🤍 Afterwards, everyone moved into the courtyard for aperitivo while I created a few live guest illustrations before returning to my main mission: the oil painting.

I knew from the beginning that this artwork couldn’t be finished in one day. The architecture is incredibly detailed, and the atmosphere especially all that beautiful candlelight 🕯️ deserves time.

What I created yesterday is the foundation. Back in my Basel studio, I’ll work much more realistically into the architecture, light, shadows and candles to bring the entire scene to life.

Definitely one of my biggest artistic challenges this summer and I already know this one is going to be very special.

Italy was chapter one. 🇮🇹
Next chapter: my studio in Basel. 🎨

Tomorrow, I’m flying home. ✈️🇨🇭

Some wedding days have a feeling you wish you could bottle up forever. ✨

This one, in the heart of Switzerland, felt soft, joyful and completely alive 🙂‍↔️ filled with little glances, warm embraces, movement, laughter and all those fleeting moments happening in between.

As a Live Wedding Painter, I get to experience the day while I paint it.

I watch. I listen. I notice.

The way the light falls across the venue.
The flowers moving gently in the breeze.
The people gathering around the couple.
The atmosphere changing as the celebration unfolds.

And little by little, all of those impressions find their way onto my canvas.

Because for me, live wedding painting isn’t about creating a perfect copy of one single moment.

It’s about capturing how the day felt.

I want the finished painting to hold something of the life that surrounded it ✨✨✨ so that years from now, when the couple looks at it, they don’t just remember what their wedding looked like.

They remember the warmth.
The people.
The movement.
The joy.

A memory, painted while it was still happening. 🤍

And at the end of the night, this is what all those little moments became… 🎨✨

Part 2 ✨🙌🏼 The final reveal. 🤍✨

Remember the guest book I painted at the last wedding?

After the wedding, I took the canvas back to my studio and carefully painted every single guest who had been sketched during the celebration, preserving all the signatures, little messages and memories from that day.

The final piece measures an incredible 190 × 40 cm, making it the longest painting I’ve ever created. 🤍

Nearly two meters of memories, filled with the people who came together to celebrate one very special couple.

What started as a blank canvas at their wedding became a completely unique piece of art 🥳 one that tells the story of their day and can now live in their home for years to come.

Not a guest book hidden away on a shelf.

A piece of their wedding they can see every single day. ✨

And seeing the finished canvas stretched for the first time…

Would you turn your wedding guest book into a piece of art? 🤍

#LiveWeddingPainter #WeddingGuestBook #WeddingArt #GuestBookAlternative #LuxuryWedding DestinationWedding WeddingIdeas WeddingInspiration WeddingIllustration InteractiveWedding WeddingKeepsake BrideAndGroom FineArt EventArtist WeddingArtist CanvasArt KuenzliWeddingArt SwissArtist

A guest book you’ll actually hang on your wall... 🤍

I’ve been dreaming about this idea for a long time, and now I finally got to bring it to life.

Instead of a traditional guest book, every guest is hand-sketched directly onto a 1.70-meter canvas scroll, with the bride and groom beautifully illustrated in the center. Throughout the celebration, everyone signs beneath their own portrait, becoming a permanent part of the artwork.

After the wedding, I take the canvas back to my studio, where I carefully paint every illustration, stretch the canvas onto a professional wooden frame, and transform it into a one-of-a-kind masterpiece the couple can proudly display in their home for the rest of their lives.

I wanted to create something that is more than a guest book—something interactive, meaningful, and filled with the love of every single person who celebrated that special day.

And this is only the beginning... Part 2 is coming later this week, where I’ll show you the finished artwork! ✨

Would you love something like this at your wedding? 🤍

Happy faces and glitter style 🫶🏻 #womensquad #weddinginspiration #weddingartist #luxurywedding #fineartwedding

Not every wedding guest receives their illustration during the celebration… especially at larger weddings. ✨

To make sure every portrait receives the same attention and level of detail, I carefully complete the remaining illustrations in my studio after the wedding.

Each brushstroke is refined by hand. Every expression, every little detail, and every color is finished with the same love and care as if I had painted it live.

Once each illustration is complete, I package it beautifully in protective tissue paper, seal it with my signature wax seal, and prepare it for its journey to its new home.

As a final touch, I lightly mist the packaging with my favorite Gucci floral perfume @floragorgeousgardenia . A small detail that makes opening the envelope feel even more special. Because I believe that receiving art should be an experience, not just opening a package.

Every portrait tells a story.
Every package carries a memory.
And every little detail matters. 🤍

Some of the most beautiful wedding memories are created after the wedding day. 😏✨

The day after Alex & Zel’s celebration in the heart of Provence, their pool party became an unforgettable creative experience. Each guest painted a 20 × 20 cm terracotta tile, filling it with symbols, meaningful words, little illustrations, and personal memories from the weekend.

Together, these individual artworks became one beautiful installation that Alex & Zel will take home to Australia, a lasting reminder of everyone who shared their special celebration.

This is why I love offering interactive wedding art workshops. They bring guests together, encourage meaningful conversations, and create something truly unique that no one could ever buy: a collective piece of art made with love.

Looking for an unforgettable experience for your wedding weekend? I’d love to create something special with you. ✨

#weddingpainting #liveweddingpainting #liveweddingpainter #weddingartwork #weddinginspiration

One of my little packages finally arrived safely this week, and my lovely client sent me these beautiful photos while unwrapping it. 🤍✨

It honestly makes me just as happy to design the packaging as it does to create the artwork itself. Every detail is prepared with love, because I want the experience to feel special from the very first moment.

Each package is wrapped in soft blush pink, sealed with my stickers (including my favourite one: “This package is so happy to see you too!” 💕), carefully protected for its journey, and thoughtfully presented.

For every original Couple Portrait, I also include a signed Certificate of Authenticity, ensuring that your artwork remains a unique, collectible piece for generations to come.

For me, receiving your artwork should feel like opening a gift, not just a parcel.

Here are a few impressions from this special unboxing. 🤍

Before I ever touch my watercolors, every portrait begins with a hand-drawn pencil sketch. I carefully study the reference photo, capturing every little detail, expression, and emotion before slowly bringing the artwork to life.

In this reel, you’ll see the beautiful photo I chose of Amanda and her husband, followed by the moment I begin painting her dress with shimmering watercolor pigments. Watching a blank sheet of paper transform into a meaningful piece of art is one of my favorite parts of the creative process.

This illustration is a personal gift from me to Amanda, a small way of saying thank you. ✨

Once finished, the artwork will be completed with the finest details in my studio, hand-signed, beautifully framed in a white shadow box frame, and carefully packaged before making its journey to its new home.

here we go, first my sketch and then the colors 😏🥳

Every live wedding painting begins during the celebration… but the final masterpiece is created here, in my studio. 🤍

After every wedding, I spend many more hours refining each detail with oil paints, adding depth, light, emotion, and all the little moments that make your day unforgettable. Once the painting is complete, it is carefully framed in a handcrafted white floating frame, signed by hand with a gold or silver signature, and prepared for its journey to its forever home.

Every artwork is created to become a family heirloom, a piece that will tell your love story for generations to come. ✨

This is one of my favorite moments of the entire process… knowing that the next time I see this painting, it will be hanging in my couple’s home. 🤍

Back in my studio in Switzerland, I’m now bringing this unforgettable proposal to life on canvas. 🎨✨

Every brushstroke takes me back to that magical evening on the Amalfi Coast, the surprise, the emotions, the joy, and the exact moment two lives changed forever.

This is one of my favorite parts of being a live wedding painter. The event itself is only the beginning. In the studio, I can carefully refine every detail, deepen the atmosphere, and transform a beautiful memory into a timeless heirloom.

I can’t wait to share the finished painting with you soon. Seeing the artwork come together from the live sketch to the final oil painting is always such a rewarding journey, and I’m excited for you to see the result.

Stay tuned… the final reveal is coming soon. 🤍

One of the most special moments is seeing a couple unwrap their painting for the very first time. 🤍 Watching their reactions reminds me why I love being a Live Wedding Painter.

I’m also excited to share that I’ve launched my YouTube channel! 🎥 From now on, I’ll be sharing my videos in landscape format there, so I can take you behind the scenes, show the full creative process, and let you experience these unforgettable moments with me.

This beautiful unboxing is one of the first videos I’m sharing, and I can’t wait to show you more.

❤️ Thank you, @marija.ac, for trusting me with such a meaningful part of your wedding story.

What happens after the wedding? 🤍🎨

The celebration may be over, but my work continues in the studio.

After every live wedding illustration event, I create a hand-painted watercolor portrait of the newlyweds as a heartfelt thank-you for inviting me to be part of one of the most meaningful days of their lives. This portrait is my gift to them, a small surprise to celebrate their love and to thank them for their trust and support.

Together with the finished guest illustrations, it is carefully framed in a white frame and shipped to their home.

Any guest portraits I couldn’t complete during the wedding are lovingly finished in my studio. Every illustration is then professionally photographed and filmed before being uploaded to a private online gallery. The couple can easily share this gallery with their guests, allowing everyone to download their illustration and relive the beautiful memories of the day.
Because it’s not only about creating portraits for the guests… it’s about celebrating the couple who made it all possible.

This watercolor portrait was created after Vanessa @je.suis.miss.v & Dominik’s beautiful wedding at the stunning @thedoldergrand in Zurich. 🤍

There’s a moment at every wedding that reminds me why I do what I do. ✨

After hours of painting, capturing almost every dress, every little detail… I finally get to step back and simply watch.

Watching the dance floor fill with laughter.
Watching families celebrate.
Watching friends create memories they’ll talk about for years.

Yesterday at Vanessa & Dominik’s beautiful wedding at the Dolder Grand @thedoldergrand in Zurich, something especially heartwarming happened. Their guests invited me to join them on the dance floor. For a few songs, I wasn’t just the live wedding illustrator anymore 😏 I became part of the celebration.

Those moments mean more than people realize.

They remind me that my work isn’t only about creating beautiful illustrations. It’s about becoming part of one of the happiest days in someone’s life, sharing genuine joy, and creating keepsakes that will bring those emotions back for decades to come.

Every wedding inspires me to grow, to paint with even more heart, and to create something that makes each couple smile every time they look at it.

Thank you, Vanessa & Dominik, for making me feel so welcome. What an unforgettable evening. 🤍

Inspired by my new blog post, „Bringing Your Wedding Ideas to Life Through Art.“

Some surprises become memories that last forever. 🤍

This summer, I had the privilege of traveling to Austria to create a live wedding painting as a complete surprise for the bride and groom. They had no idea I would be there until they spotted me at their reception, painting their wedding day in real time.

For the next five hours, they watched their story slowly come to life on canvas, alongside their family and friends. The most emotional moment came at the end of the evening, when I revealed the painting. Their reaction was everything an artist could ever hope for: complete surprise, joy, and genuine emotion.

Now the artwork is back in my studio in Switzerland, where I’ll spend the next days refining every detail, adding depth, light, and the finishing touches before it becomes their forever keepsake.

This is why I love being a live wedding painter. It’s not just about creating a painting, it’s about giving couples the chance to relive one of the happiest days of their lives through fine art. ✨😏🥳

There’s something magical about not knowing exactly when the moment will happen.

As a live wedding painter, I spend hours observing, waiting, and quietly watching every glance, every smile, every emotion unfold naturally. Then suddenly… it happens.

The moment that tells their story.

On Sunday, on the breathtaking Amalfi Coast, I had the honor of painting a surprise proposal live as it happened. While everyone celebrated, I began transforming one unforgettable second into a timeless oil painting that will now be carefully finished in my studio in Switzerland.

Some moments deserve more than a photograph.
They deserve to become art. ✨🎨

The happy dance after a successful event. ✨

There’s something people rarely see about being a Live Wedding Painter.

Before every wedding, proposal, or celebration, there’s always a little nervousness. Every event is unique. Every couple has a once-in-a-lifetime story, and there are no second chances. You carefully plan every detail, check your materials one last time, watch the weather, think about the light, the timeline, and quietly hope everything unfolds beautifully.

Then the moment arrives.

Hours of painting, observing, capturing emotions, meeting wonderful people, and turning fleeting moments into something that will last forever.

And the next morning… everything changes.

The pressure is gone, replaced by gratitude, excitement, and a heart full of inspiration. It’s the feeling of knowing you were part of someone’s most meaningful day.

Now comes one of my favourite parts: returning to my studio in Switzerland, where I carefully complete the oil painting with all the small details, depth, and emotion it deserves before it begins its journey to its new home.

This little dance is for every unforgettable event, every wonderful couple, and every memory that becomes a timeless work of art. 🤍🎨

A small surprise for the grooms: a bespoke watercolor portrait capturing them in front of the beautiful Provençal estate where they celebrated their wedding 😏❤️🫶🏻

What is it really like to be a Live Wedding Illustrator? 🎨✨

People often imagine that I simply sit down and paint.

But the truth is, I’m constantly observing.

I notice the little things most people don’t even realize they’re doing. A grandmother holding her granddaughter’s hand. Friends laughing so hard they forget the camera is there. A quiet glance between two people during cocktail hour. The way a dress moves in the summer breeze. The golden light just before sunset.

Throughout the day, I photograph guests, chat with them, and capture fleeting moments that might otherwise disappear.

Back in my studio, each illustration comes to life one brushstroke at a time. Every portrait is painted by hand with watercolor, transforming a brief moment into a lasting memory.

One of my favorite parts is seeing guests discover not only their own illustration, but also a complete group portrait where everyone from the wedding comes together again in a single piece of art.

It’s more than painting people.

It’s preserving the atmosphere, the emotions, and the story of a day that can never be repeated.

And I still feel incredibly grateful that I get to call this my job. 🤍

More than individual portraits… sometimes the best memory is the one you create together. ✨

Alongside individual guest illustrations, I also offer custom group illustrations, a beautiful way to capture families, best friends, bridesmaids, groomsmen, or any special group that shared unforgettable moments during the celebration.

This piece was inspired by a wedding in the heart of Provence, where every guest brought their own unique style, personality, and energy. Bringing a group together into one elegant watercolor artwork creates a keepsake that tells the story of the day in a completely different way.

Whether it’s a family portrait, your bridal party, or your closest friends from around the world, I can combine everyone into one timeless illustration that you’ll treasure long after the wedding.

Every artwork is painted by hand with watercolor on premium textured paper and can even include my signature subtle shimmering pigments that gently sparkle when the sunlight touches the painting. ✨

Because some memories deserve to be remembered together. 🤍
