Give the couple their wedding, painted as it happens.
Photos will show how their day looked. A painting shows how it felt. I paint a moment from their wedding live, at my easel among their guests, reveal it on the night, then finish it in my Melbourne studio.
Most wedding gifts are opened after the day. This one happens during it. I arrive early, set up discreetly and paint as the celebration unfolds. Guests love watching it grow, and the couple sees it revealed before the night is over.
An original painting of their wedding, painted by hand, never a print
Planned with the couple first, so it shows the moment, people and details they love
An unexpected delight their guests will talk about
A reveal on the night: a “3, 2, 1” in front of their guests, or a quiet unveiling just for the two of them
Finished and varnished in my studio, ready to pick up a few weeks later
For anyone who wants to give something lasting, not another thing from the registry:
Parents: a wedding gift for your daughter or son that hangs in their home
Grandparents: a keepsake to pass down through the family
Brothers and sisters: something far more personal than a gift card
The bridal party or a group of friends, chipping in together
“We gifted one of Olga’s amazing artworks to our sister and brother in law for their wedding. We cannot describe how absolutely amazing this piece of art is. (...) If anyone is thinking “is this worth it” the answer is a huge yes and Olga is the perfect person for the job!”

We couldn’t recommend Olga from The Wedding Day Painter highly enough! Olga is incredibly talented, professional, and was such a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Olga was so flexible and accommodating with all of our preferences, and made the whole experience feel effortless.
Having Olga capture our wedding day at The Manor on High was such a special addition to an already incredibly special day. Watching the painting come to life was amazing, and the finished artwork is something we will treasure for years to come.

Thank you so much, Olga, for your incredible talent and for adding such a unique and beautiful touch to our wedding. We absolutely love it! ❤️

Olga possesses an exceptional talent that can immortalize the most special moments in a couple's life. My experience working with Olga for our wedding day painting was nothing short of marvelous. From the very beginning, Olga made the effort to understand both Olga’s artistic style and our personal taste, ensuring a seamless integration of both elements in the final artwork.
One of the most thrilling aspects of working with Olga was the element of surprise. Not seeing the painting as it was being created added an extra layer of excitement to our wedding day, making the reveal an incredibly memorable moment. The anticipation built up to a beautiful climax when we finally saw the painting, which was spectacular.
Olga’s ability to capture the essence of our wedding day in Olga’s painting has given us a keepsake that we will treasure forever. It stands as one of the best memories of our special day, encapsulating the emotion and beauty of the moment in a way that photos or videos could never achieve.

Questions about giving a wedding painting.
Can the painting be a surprise for the couple?
I plan every painting with the couple, and that’s what makes it theirs. Before the wedding we talk about what they love: the moment they’d like painted, the people who matter and the little details. The result is a painting they’ll treasure. If you’re hoping to keep it a surprise, contact me first and we can talk it through.
Will you deal with me or the couple?
Both. I reply to you to check the date and arrange the booking. Then I talk with the couple about the moment, people and details they’d love in their painting, so it’s made around them.
Can several of us give it together?
Yes. It works well as a gift from the bridal party, siblings or a group of friends. One person sends the enquiry and is my contact for the booking. How you share the cost is up to you.
How do I book the date?
Send me the wedding date. Once I’ve confirmed I’m free, I’ll help you choose the size, and a 50% deposit secures the date, as with every booking.
