As Your Celebration Unfolds…
Your wedding day moves quickly — filled with fleeting moments, emotion, movement, and connection.
A live wedding painting allows those moments to slow down.
As guests gather around the canvas throughout the evening, the painting gradually comes to life brushstroke by brushstroke. Conversations spark, emotions rise, and your celebration becomes something not only witnessed, but experienced together in a completely unique way.
There is something deeply meaningful about watching a moment transform into art in real time.
By the end of the night, what began as a blank canvas becomes a lasting heirloom — one that preserves not only how your wedding looked, but how it felt.
Photography beautifully captures moments exactly as they happened.
A painting captures something more interpretive — the atmosphere, movement, emotion, and energy of the day - all through a unique artistic eye.
The shifting light at sunset. The warmth of candlelight. Ocean air moving through palms. The fleeting rainbow on the horizon. The feeling of being fully immersed in one unforgettable evening.
Moments that could not be captured by photograph are incorporated seamlessly. A beloved pet or loved one that couldn't be with us. The butterfly that floated past your flower arch. The final result? A masterpiece that brings on the happy tears by the end of the night.
Each painting is created with intention and artistic interpretation, transforming your celebration into a timeless piece of fine art that lives far beyond the wedding day itself.

Every live wedding painting begins with thoughtful preparation before your wedding day. Together, we’ll discuss the setting, composition, meaningful moments, and overall atmosphere you’d like reflected in the final artwork.
On the day of your wedding, I arrive early to begin sketching and establishing the foundation of the painting before guests arrive. Throughout the celebration, layers of detail, light, and movement are added live as the evening unfolds.
Following the wedding, final refinements are completed in the studio to ensure the finished painting feels polished, balanced, and timeless while still preserving the spontaneity and emotion of the live experience.
The result is a one-of-a-kind heirloom created specifically for your story.
Jules has a simple, clean set up including a travel easel, small table, glass jar for cleaning brushes, paints, brushes, canvas, painter's light to see by, and a small basket for extra supplies. Only the highest quality professional acrylic paints, brushes and canvases are used to ensure long lasting, museum quality, beautiful artwork.
Shipping of your artwork back to your home address will be included in the price. I want to eliminate any extra stress for my clients, so there is no need to figure out how to safely get your painting home!
the process
How does it work?
Although no two paintings are ever the same, each painter has his or her own unique style. Jules' style is considered expressionistic. She creates a realistic representation of the scene using painterly expressionism. Jules paints her figures to proportion, and delights in the details from your dress to your florals! She will create a live wedding painting that beautifully represents Hawai'i.
Each client will receive Jules' devoted attention in understanding your vision to bring it to life in her painting style. Peruse my PORTFOLIO to get inspiration for what I can create for you!

Painting Style
Below are some considerations to take into account when hiring a live wedding painter
Entertainment & Personality
Let's not forget that you are hiring a Live Wedding Painter not only for the painting, but for the entertainment! Jules may be sweet, but she is not shy. You will find Jules' personality to be kind, professional, approachable, with a tendency to get jiggy with it while she paints!
Having grown up on stage in dance recitals and as a current performing musician, she is not afraid of a little attention, in fact, she loves meeting new people, striking up conversation, laughing, and answering people's questions while she works!
Availability
Calendar availability is probably one of the first and most obvious considerations when choosing a Live Wedding Painter. The best way to secure your date is to fill out my inquiry form found on my contact page.
If I am unavailable on your wedding or event date, I am able to offer Wedding Painting commissions, where I will work from a professional photo reference of your desired scene.
Live wedding painting is a highly personalized experience, which means that there is no 'one shoe fits all' for every wedding or event! That being said, pricing varies for each couple's unique vision and needs based on painting size, the scene painted, how many people are included in the painting, and travel time to your event. With each inquiring couple/client, Jules will book a Discovery Call to learn all of your live painting wishes and event details, after which she can provide a more accurate quote for her services.
Each painting is created as a one-of-a-kind work of art designed to preserve the atmosphere and emotion of your wedding day through fine art.
Most couples invest between $2,500–$4,500 depending on canvas size, level of detail, and travel requirements.
Custom sizing and destination travel options are also available.
Investing in Jules as your Hawai'i live weddinG painter is investing in unique entertainment as well as a piece of fine art to cherish for generations to come.
