Live Wedding Paintings
Live wedding paintings are a beautiful and unique source of entertainment for weddings that are steadily increasing in popularity. It is a great way to commemorate your special day, and guests love being able to watch your portrait being created during the reception.
Emma Cocks has over 7 years of experience as an oil painter, and her work explores a colourful and realistic art style. She began making the move to doing live wedding paintings in May 2026. Though she is new to the live painting aspect, she has a level of skill that ensures she is well-prepared and successful in her work. Being new to weddings, her prices are remarkably lower than most live wedding paintings as she holds room for gaining more direct experience.
Most live wedding painters charge $3,000 - $10,000 (with oil painters often charging at the higher end of this scale), putting Emma below the current market value and allowing for a much more affordable option as she gains more experience. Whilst she may not hold as much live experience as other wedding painters, she has years of experience with professional painting and is confident in her abilities to achieve a beautiful piece of work to commemorate your day.
Pricing & info
All paintings are made with professional oil paints, and - depending on size - will involve 5-10 hours of painting live. All works will then have 20+ studio hours to add more depth and detail to really bring the piece to life.
