What Do You Want Your Painting to Feel Like?

Your wedding painting doesn't have to look like every other wedding painting.

Your wedding painting doesn’t have to look like every other wedding painting.

There are so many ways to capture two people in love. A quiet embrace can feel romantic. A sweeping veil can feel cinematic. A grand staircase can feel regal. A garden can turn a simple portrait into a fairytale.

So instead of asking, “What pose should we do?” ask yourself:

What do you want your painting to feel like?

After 15 years behind the camera, I've learned that the best portraits aren't about putting every couple into the same pose. They're about creating an image that feels like them.

These aren't rules. They're starting points.

Some poses can feel romantic and fairytale. Others can be dramatic and editorial. The setting, lighting, composition, and the way you interact with one another all work together to create the feeling of your painting.

 

 

Before I became a painter, I spent 15 years as a wedding photographer.

I learned to look beyond the obvious moments – the kiss, the first dance, the big reactions – and pay attention to the little things that make a wedding feel like your wedding.

That experience still influences the way I paint today. I’m not just looking for a beautiful pose. I’m looking for the emotion, atmosphere, movement, and little details that tell your story.

FAIRYTALE

For a painting that feels like it came straight from a storybook.

EDITORIAL

For a polished, artistic, fashion-forward look.

 

ROMANTIC

For paintings centered on intimacy, connection, and the two of you.

DRAMATIC

For couples who want something cinematic, atmospheric, or bold.

CANDID & PLAYFUL

For couples who want their personalities and joy to come through.

Your painting should feel like you.

There isn’t one right way for a wedding painting to look.

 

Maybe yours is quiet and intimate. Maybe it’s full of movement and laughter. Maybe it’s romantic and dreamy, dramatic and grand, or completely playful.

 

The most meaningful paintings aren’t necessarily the ones with the most elaborate poses. They’re the ones that capture something that feels unmistakably you.

 

So when you’re choosing the moment you’d like painted, don’t just ask yourself:

 

“What do we want our painting to look like?”

 

Ask yourself:

 

“What do we want it to feel like?”

 

That’s where your story begins.
