Proposal for Live Painting Services

Hi LeeAnne and Gordon,

Congratulations on your upcoming Wedding! I really enjoyed hearing about your love story from LeeAnne. I am so excited for you two!

I know there are a lot of choices when it comes to curating your wedding celebration. I am so happy that you have connected with work and I’m honored to be considered.

As an Air Force Veteran and a 12-year wedding veteran, I promise to bring professionalism and quality to every aspect of our working relationship. It is a special honor for me to play a role in each and every celebration. I am here to help you realize your wedding dreams.

I have detailed my most popular sizes for live paintings below and also put a few options for guests portraits at your reception together. Please let me know how I can best be of service.

Live Oil Painting

The following pricing includes a portrait of the two of you along with the altar, creek, marshes, and the sunset. We will work together to choose the exact moment, for example, a kiss, a walk, hands in the air, etc. I will spend some time photographing and sketching for your painting prior to your ceremony and I will also stick around after the reception for the sunset to make sure and get the images I need.

I included a Friends and Family discount in the pricing.

Wedding Portrait

24 x 30 inch Oil Painting $3800 $3200

24 x 36 inch Oil Painting. $4700 $3900

30x40 inch Oil Painting $6200 $5400

As an industry friend, I’d like to offer a complimentary watercolor design upgrade for your portraits. We can talk details as the day approaches.

Kind words from clients

Julianne Sojourner - Floral Designer in South Carolina

Jamie Peterson and her team did a beautiful job at my daughter’s wedding this summer painting abstract portraits of our guests. Her portrait bar was attractive and approachable and created a little excitement for our friends and family. It was fun to watch them strike a quick pose and then receive a lovely keepsake of Ellis and Hank’s wedding.

Jamie was a dream to work with; professional, prompt and quick to respond to every question. As a floral designer and wedding stylist, I had admired her work for years and knew I would want to include her talents for my own daughter’s wedding reception.
