# Aussie Wedding Painters

> A directory of 69 live wedding painters and live wedding guest illustrators across Australia, organised by city, region, service, medium, style and venue. Couples contact and book each artist directly through the artist's own website or Instagram.

Live wedding painting means one artist paints a single artwork of the couple at an easel during the wedding, usually the ceremony, first dance or reception, and the couple keeps it. Live guest portraits (also called live wedding illustration) means an artist draws quick portraits of guests during the event, which the guests take home as keepsakes. Some artists offer both.

Every listing is checked against the artist's own website and Instagram, which are the source for its services, mediums, travel areas and venues. Each listing records the date it was last verified (see /llms-full.txt); the oldest check is currently 2026-10-22.

To choose an artist: pick the service (live painting or guest portraits), then the style (Impressionist, Realistic, Romantic, Fashion, Minimal, Whimsical) and the medium (Oil, Acrylic, Watercolour, Charcoal, Ink & marker, Pencil, Digital). Check whether the artist is based in your location or travels to it. For live painting, check whether the painting is finished at the event or refined in the studio afterwards and delivered later.
