Painting your love in living color
~ The world is not divided into us and them, but rather there is only us. We are the clouds, the rocks and the stars, intimately rooted & connected to this universe. ~
~ THE LIVE PAINTING EXPERIENCE ~
When we set up our easel on your wedding day, everything around us becomes fine art. The scent of your flowers, the music & anticipation in the air, your guests celebrating with you…
We paint the full spirit & emotions of your wedding moments, rather than just a copy of the room or pose you’re frozen in.
Live Painting PGH by Jaison & Stephanie is there to witness it, feel it, & transfer it onto canvas.
Can we share something kind of crazy?
Our craft predates the wedding photograph…
Before the camera was invented– centuries before we could all record videos with a click– Live painters were the OG’s of wedding portraiture. They were the ones preserving the great unions of love & legacies.
In the entire history of weddings themselves, painters were the vessel absorbing the energy throughout the wedding day & transferring it onto the canvas to live forever.
…That’s kind of crazy, right?!
For us, live painting your wedding is the opposite of a hot new trend that the Instagram algorithm feeds you. It’s the Artistic act of preserving the feel & mood with precise ambiguity… the name Jaison coined our painting style.
We realistically portray our couples, but there's also a reason & strategy for the chosen abstractions & the dreaminess within our paintings. These elements help create harmony & also opens up participation within the viewer. By creating ambiguities, everyone engaging with the painting will see it a little different… & that’s what art truly is. It is about the subject & scene, the artist, and the viewer!
As the first artists to start live painting weddings in our neck of the woods way back in 2015, we have built everything from the ground up. We have taken no shortcuts on our path to get where we are today & we are honored to share our passion with you.
Thank you for your appreciation of painting & for the Arts!
“Our guests were amazed & it was incredible to see the painting come to life throughout the wedding night.” -Sarah & Dave, married September 2022.
From your ceremony to our studio
Real Art doesn’t take shortcuts & everything we use to create your painting is made with our own two hands. There are no clearance canvases from Michael’s, or quick frame jobs; we build, stretch & prime every canvas from scratch! We source the best archival materials & custom build your hardwood frame, shipped straight from Italy.
POST WEDDING PERFECTION
Each painting comes home with us after your wedding to spend time in our studio. We give it our full artistic attention (6 - 12 weeks) to deliver a complete & harmonious work of Fine Art.
“The finished piece is absolutely gorgeous! We loved their framing options, which was the perfect way to complete the piece. We smile every time we look at it; reminded of all of the love we felt that day.” - Lindsay & Chris, married July 2017.
