Your Finished Painting

After the event, the painting will be brought back to my studio to be completed. When I am finished, I will send a photo to you of the painting for your approval. When approved I will varnish the painting.

At this point you would have the option to pick up the painting or request it be shipped to you.

What people are saying

Pete painted the most incredible picture of our first dance. We couldn’t be happier with it and are so in awe by the level of detail. All of our guests loved checking in on the progress of the painting throughout the night and couldn’t believe how talented he is. Thank you Pete for providing us with such a great memory!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Pete! He did the below painting of our ceremony this past September. We knew it would be beautiful but WOW. He put so much detail and effort into every part of the painting. We highly recommend Pete for your wedding day! We thought it would take some time for him to finish painting it but the next week we heard from him that it was done. Definitely use Pete!!!!!
