A live wedding painting is a one-of-a-kind keepsake – an artist sets up at your celebration and paints the moment live, finishing the piece as your day unfolds around it.
Watching the piece take shape is part of the magic for your guests, and you’re left with a one-of-a-kind original that tells the story of your day for years to come.
Sofiia offers live watercolour portraits for your guests — an elegant, interactive touch that gives each guest a one-of-a-kind keepsake to treasure from your celebration.
