The Wedding Painter
The beauty of your love,
painted Live, at your wedding,
for you to have and to hold.
Based in Portland, Oregon.
Available globally.
A gust of wind catches her train just right.
Wishful bubbles blow through.
Our bride and groom jump over a broom.
Dew sparkles on the flowers.
The band plays in celebration,
and the magnificent cake makes its appearance.
In a single painting, many moments, integrated together, poetically.

Hello!
Seeking and finding the love in all I see, I paint weddings. By observing the love present at the event; within the glimmers, reflections, spacious skies, silky florals and teary couple, I'm able to infuse each piece with it. Each one, with it's own particular flavor.
Observing the energy and atmosphere, I render it into a harmonious painting. A painting that draws you in to what matters most - your love!
”Our guests were so impressed that we had a live painting happening and they realy enjoyed watchin the piece take shape before their eyes. It was a really lovely way to capture us all sharing the moment together.”

”I loved how Marina was totally organized and self-contained, having her mobile set-up made iteasy to integrate with our wedding layout. Also, I noticed how many of our guests (and some of the shyer ones) were curious and drawn to chat with her and admire her work. Her station became a pleasant and welcoming focal point for guests to engage.
The finished piece is more beautiful than I could have imagined, dynamically capturing the pinnacle of our Vows with incredible detail.”
~ Rebecca Smith
"Working with Marina was a dream. We couldn't believe how perfectly she captured our wedding in a single painting. Our theme was whimsical-magical, and she absolutely nailed it! Now we have a forever cherished, one of a kind, work of art that commemorates our love and wedding day. We feel lucky beyond words! Thank you Marina!"
~ Lia Spathas
A love beyond words.
How the day unfolds
Just a couple hours before the guests arrive, I'll set up at the ceremony behind the guest's seating. Intrigued, they'll see the very beginnings of the painting start to unfold.
After the knot's been tied, my easel and I will join the guests at the dining and dance area. This is when the painting really begins to come together! People often come and take a closer look, chatting with me. I love seeing their curiosity and wonder.
When the sun goes down, I too, take a rest, leaving the painting lit up on the easel for another hour or so, before I take it with me to complete it at my studio over the next week.
One price, allowing each painting to inform it's own true completion.
