Frequently asked questions.

I aim to finish the majority of the painting during the event, allowing your guests to enjoy the creative process. After the wedding, the final details are added in my studio. Due to the high-quality oil paints used, the artwork requires time to fully cure before it is ready for delivery. Once completed, the painting is varnished for protection and professionally packaged. The final delivery typically takes 4 to 8 weeks*, depending on my schedule.

I adapt to the unique needs of your event. For multi-location weddings or outdoor ceremonies with uncertain weather, I’ll work with you in advance to create a plan that ensures the painting process runs smoothly. If rain or high winds pose safety concerns, I may relocate the painting setup indoors or to a safer location to continue creating your artwork without disruption.
