A photograph preserves a moment, but a painting has the power to turn it into poetry. A live wedding painting captures the emotion, magic, and tenderness of your day in a way that feels timeless—while giving your guests the joy of watching your love story come to life, brushstroke by brushstroke.

My paintings are created to hold the warmth, joy, and deep connection of your celebration, allowing you to remember not only how your wedding looked, but how it felt in your hearts. With a gentle focus on likeness and thoughtful artistic touches, I ensure you and your partner are portrayed at your most radiant.

Every artwork is lovingly personalised to reflect your vision and the atmosphere you’ve dreamed of. The result is a romantic keepsake—an heirloom filled with emotion, beauty, and the essence of your love—sure to create a true “wow” moment for you and your guests.

Review
I can’t recommend Patrick enough if you’re looking for a live wedding painter. Patrick did an absolutely lovely job painting (honestly I loved the painting halfway done before he finishing touches) but he was also extremely lovely and easy to work with. He also was a delight for our family and friends to interact with as they admired his work and even contributed to the painting. When reviewing options I thought Patrick’s work was well beyond the skill set of the other options but didn’t consider ease of communication. Only after being in wedding planning lead up and on the day did I fully appreciate how lovely and stress free Patrick made things.

FAQs


1. Can I chose my scene?

Yes, you chose a scene of your choice for the day. Do you want a painting to focus just on the bride and the groom and venue? The first kiss? Or even a member of the family or pet who may have passed away.

2. Do you travel?

Yes anywhere in the UK. I'm based in South London and my fee covers travel in most areas of the UK. However this will be confirmed at the enquiry and booking stage.

3. How far ahead can I book?

I would suggest to save your date sooner than later. I can hold your date for a period of time at your enquiry until you decide. You only need to provide a 10% deposit to secure your booking

4. Are you insured?

Yes I have full public liability insurance of upto £5 million pounds.

5. Some live wedding painters use canvas and acrylic painting, why do you paint in watercolour?

This is basically down to preference, but watercolours is my preferred medium and expertise because it is renowned for its light, bright, and translucent qualities. It is also the most difficult medium to master which takes many years of training. The vibrant but soft nature of watercolours captivates the viewer’s eye in ways that are much different from, let’s say, the thick nature of oil or acrylic paints. In my view it provides a much more natural and warm depiction of the scene with an artistic feel. I also love the blend between colours and texture when used properly on the finished painting. Finally my paintings are all presented in a glass (not Perspex) frame with mount which will compliment any home environment.

6. When will I receive my painting?

I will aim to present your painting on the day (depending on the start time of the wedding or event) or if necessary additional studio time may be necessary free of charge. The painting will be delivered to you securely using tracked delivery.

7. Can my guest watch you paint?

Absolutely that's the point. I make an effort to actively engage your guests and talk them through the process. On some occasions guest even contribute their artistic touch to your painting. You can do so as well to place your mark on the painting. However don't fret, though - if you or they happen to place a colour in an unintended spot, I can lift off the paint or paint over it.

8. Does my painting come with a frame?

Yes my price includes a black, white, oak or rustic frame with a white mount and glass display (not cheap perspex)

9. Do you have any reviews or testimonals?

Absolutely, however for transparency and authencity these are held on my Hitch account where the client's themselves have written the review or testimonal. These are also supported by my video reels. I was also recognised as the most valued and recommended vendor for live wedding painting in the Hitch 2026 Wedding Awards.

Review
Patrick was absolutely amazing and exceeded our wildest expectations! From the very beginning, he was professional and communicated clearly, making the entire process smooth and stress-free.On the wedding day, Patrick was incredible — not only did he create a beautiful, one-of-a-kind painting, but he also became a highlight of the celebration. Our guests were fascinated by his work, constantly checking in on the progress and sharing how impressed they were.The final painting is something we will cherish forever. It’s a stunning, timeless reminder of our special day.
