iampoppy Designs - Live wedding painter

As a live artist, I work under the Live Artist Collective, where we have a team of talented artists specialising in live painting at weddings and events.

For live paintings, I’ll start with a chat to understand exactly what you’d love captured, so the final piece feels truly personal to you. On the day, I arrive around an hour before the ceremony to set up, then capture your ceremony as it unfolds to ensure I don’t miss the moment. I continue painting throughout canapé hour, where guests can watch and interact, and then into the reception. By the end of the event, your painting is typically around 80% complete, with final refinements done in the studio. Framing and delivery are all taken care of and included in the package.

For guest portraits, I arrive approximately 30 minutes before guests. My assistant will photograph guests and take their names while I paint, allowing everything to run smoothly. Each portrait takes around 5 minutes per person, and once finished, they’re handed directly to your guests to take home. It’s a fun, interactive experience, guests love watching the process, chatting, and being part of the artwork. Bookings are hourly, and I can guide you on the ideal duration based on your guest numbers.
