Live Event Painting and Wedding Portraits
by Linda Marino, Branford, CT
You want your wedding to reflect you as a couple, you’ve planned every detail, envisioning that picture-perfect day,- one that’s fun, memorable for not just the both of you but your loved ones too.
Why wouldn’t you capture all of that on canvas?
Hiring a wedding painter for your special day shouldn’t be just another item on your to-do list. Take the time to find the right artist is well worth the effort.
Fall in love with the artist's style first.
Art is such a personal choice and I believe there is a style of art for everyone. Whether you put a name to it or not, like impressionism or realism, whimsical or traditional, in the end, names don’t really matter.
What matters most is how you connect with what you see.
There is an emotional trigger that happens when a piece of art resonates with your soul. And when the both of you are the main focus of the painting, this visual bond goes deeper than words can describe.

Helping couples capture their special day on canvas. |
With a 10 year anniversary in business, I’ve served over a hundred clients, creating custom artwork from pets, to homes, bouquets to vacation dreams, weddings to wall murals.
From each custom piece, I’ve honed not just my artistic skills through thousands of practice hours but also learning to listen carefully to my client’s vision and needs.
Combine that with painting on location for over a decade, capturing moments on canvas in real-time is one of my absolute obsessions. In the art world, this is referred to as plein air painting, a French term, for “painting out in the open” but forget the artsy language- what all that translates to you is -
offering you my expertise when it comes to executing your beautiful wedding painting in a way that expresses your unique love story.
