Live Wedding Painting is a specialty service for weddings and any occasion you want to commemorate. Painted on-site at the event, Hannah Paints Events strives to capture the energy and essence of the entire experience in a single frame. While the wedding day only lasts 24-hours, your live wedding painting lets you relive the experience every day.
Not only is your live wedding painting an heirloom to cherish for years to come, but guests love to watch the painting transform as the night unfolds. Each painting is filled with details unique to your special event, and at the end of the evening the work of art is complete.
WHERE ARTISTRY meets LEGACY
Our wedding painting hangs above our the mantle of our new home
Hannah's wedding painting was one of the coolest things about our wedding! She even integrated small details, like our dancing flower girl and flowers from our photo booth!
We were incredibly impressed and have put our wedding painting above our mantle of our new home. If you have second thoughts about booking Hannah, go for it!
