About the Artist
Three years. Hundreds of love stories. One brush.
I’ve spent the last three years painting weddings across the world, from cliffside ceremonies in Bali to grand mansion celebrations in New York. What began as a passion project has become a calling: turning the fleeting moments of your day into something you can hold forever.
Now based in Australia, I’m bringing that same intentional, slow-craft approach to celebrations across the country and beyond. Every painting is created entirely on the day, in front of your guests, no traced photos, no AI, no shortcuts.
Together with my growing team of artists, we’re able to illustrate celebrations of up to 200 guests, travelling wherever love takes us and treating every wedding with the same care as if it were our own.

Good to Know
Frequently asked.
-
I am now based in Sydney, Australia
-
Most couples book me 6–12 months out. Destination weddings often book a year ahead. If your date is closer, ask anyway — I sometimes have last-minute availability.
-
Yes, depending on the package and number of guests. For larger weddings, I can bring additional artists from my team so we can cover more guests smoothly and complete as many portraits as possible on the day.
For very large guest counts, any remaining portraits can also be finished after the event and delivered to you beautifully completed.
-
Absolutely!
I'm available for destination events worldwide and locally.
Minimal travel fees may apply depending on where your event is being held. -
Travel, accommodation (2 nights minimum), and ground transport are added on top of the collection price. I fly economy unless the venue is more than 8 hours away, and book modest accommodation. Full transparent travel quote provided.
-
Absolutely! my Grand Package is built for events up to 200 pax. I bring a beautiful, low-footprint setup that works in any space, indoors or out.
-
It takes to paint each guest depends on the service selected, but on average, I spend about 3 to 7 minutes per guest depending on the complexity of their outfits.
-
Absolutely! You have two options:
– You can create your own template, or
– I can design one for you (with your approval 3 months before your event).Please note that template customization is considered an add-on service.
