Proposal for Live Painting or Live Guest Portrait Services
Hi Taylor. Congratulations on your upcoming Wedding!
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 my oil paintings and I am thrilled to be considered to treat your guests to the fun, personable experience of live portraits.
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, along with a few options for live guest portraits. I offer a discount if you would like both services. Please let me know how I can best be of service.
Live Oil Painting
1. Wedding Portrait
24 x 30 inch Live Oil Painting
The Wedding Portrait will focus on you as the couple, set in your favorite moment of the day. A special moment from the first look has been a popular choice for the wedding portrait, but I am open to whatever vision you have for your painting. We will work together to set the scene and grab a few photos at a convenient time. I work from life as much as possible to capture the true light and color of the moment.
$3200
2 .Wedding Scene
24 x 36 inch Live Oil Painting
The Wedding Scene works well to capture the grandeur of your ceremony or reception spot. Include your family and/or wedding party, your curated decor and any element you’d like to remember fondly.
Make it a vertical painting for a grand portrait of the two of you. This size is very versatile and has the presence to hang on a larger wall or to fill a smaller one.
$4100
3. The Wedding Statement
30x40 inch Live Oil Painting
This size gives your imagination the space to play and room to tell the story of your day. Include all of the elements of your celebration that made it characteristically your celebration such as your fifty closest friends, an ornate ballroom, a sweeping vineyard view or we can make it a grand portrait of you and “your person”.
This piece will make a statement in any room. It works well above a mantel, a piano, couch or bed and will keep you coming back to find new details for years to come.
$5800

Kind words from Clients
- Bride, married at the U.S. Supreme Court Building
Jamie Peterson is extraordinary. She did a live painting of our wedding reception, which was enormous fun for all of our guests. It was a subtle, elegant and extremely unique form of entertainment. But it was also much more than that. Of all of the images captured that day, Jamie's gorgeous painting is the most enduring. The attention to detail and the sheer magnitude of the work is awe-inspiring.
