Welcome all couples and congratulations on your engagement! I'm Mar, the artist behind Married and Painted and would love to capture your love story on canvas!
Live Wedding Painting is an elegant addition to a wedding and will entertain your guests in a way they will never forget.
I have been painting ever since I could hold a paint brush, and have always loved weddings and love stories, so after discovering Live Wedding Paiting while planning my own wedding in 2022, I felt it was a job that was made for me. Capturing so many love stories in such a creative way has truly been an honor!
My style of painting is a mix between realism and impressionism. I specialize in detailed paintings of the wedding couple, keeping them the focal point of the painting and creating more dimension with more impressionistic backgrounds. The couple is also the most exciting part to watch come together so adding in more detail on them is entertaining for your guests!
I have been drawing and painting my whole life and studied Illustration at the Fashion Institute of Technology. I discovered Live Wedding Painting in 2022 when I was planning my own wedding and officially formed my business in 2023. I painted at 20 weddings my first year and 50 the year after that! I'll get back to you on this year's count lol My business has grown so quickly and it's something I'm extremely proud of. I hope my couples love being Married and Painted!

MY WEDDING HAS ALREADY PASSED BUT I'D STILL LOVE A PAINTING, DO YOU TAKE STUDIO COMMISSIONS?
Yes! I'd love to paint your love story in my studio.
We are so happy we decided to add a live painter to our special day. This was hands down one of the best things at our wedding. Marianne is incredibly talented and worth every penny, we HIGHLY recommend her! All of our guests were so impressed with her talent and process. She provided a timelapse for guests as she continued to paint throughout the wedding. At the end of the night we went home with our painting that we will treasure forever.
Marianne produced a breathtaking canvas of my husband and I’s wedding day. Mar captured the mood of the beach sunset and texture of the sand, sky & clouds. The details of my lace wedding dress are accurate and intricate. This painting is my favorite wedding gift and I will keep it forever.
My live painter cancelled on me a couple of days before my wedding and my dad surprised me and rebooked a new painter! I wanted to give her an immediate special shout-out from my wedding. She is the kindest and sweetest person ever and her painting is incredible!!! I highly highly recommend her if you’re looking for a live painter!
You absolutely must hire Marianne as your live painter for your wedding. She's not only is a phenomenal painter, but is also so kind and patient and brought ease to our big day! The picture we chose didn’t have a sunset and she painted it right in just as we envisioned. We also needed a calligrapher last minute to write out our place cards and she offered to help without hesitation. She even brought them herself the day of our wedding and they were beautiful and perfectly matched the font on our invitations. She always responded promptly to emails and encouraged any questions we had about our wedding day in general. Having a live painter really adds to your special day, and we loved having something tangible to bring home the night of that we didn’t have to wait weeks for to bring us back to the best day of our lives!
I hired Marianne to paint our wedding as a surprise for my husband. Not only were we impressed, but the guests all raved about her work as well. The painting came out beautiful, with more detail than I imagined. Marianne was a pleasure to work with from our first conversation and all the way through the process. She truly made my vision come to life! Thank you Marianne, if we ever need another painting I know who I will be calling!
We are beyond thrilled to have used Marianne to transform our first look into a live painting experience. From the start, she was extremely responsive and such a joy to work with. Marianne made sure to capture everything we were looking for in our painting, and even made a rough sketch so we could envision what it would look like. Our guests loved interacting with her and seeing how the painting progressed throughout the night, and weeks later our guests are still saying its the most unique experience they've seen at a wedding! We were blown away by the final product and words can't do it justice; the details are phenomenal. We were even able to take the painting home that night. We are so grateful to have had Marianne capture our wedding and the painting is a priceless piece we will cherish forever.
Marianne was the best! Her work was stunning and she was a pleasure to work with. My guests loved her work so much too & she said she got new client requests from my wedding so I’m so happy for her. She was professional and easy to work with. The painting speaks for itself, I’ll treasure it forever. If you want to have a live painter, I highly suggest her!
We hired Marianne from Married and Painted as a live painter for our wedding. My husband really loved the idea, so we booked with Marianne. Frankly, I didn’t realize how much I would absolutely LOVE this addition to our day. It was the talk of our night and left everyone in awe. Marianne’s talent is incredible, and her personality matches. Now we have a stunning masterpiece for our home, but also provided our guests (both those dancing and not) with the opportunity to watch. Her assistant was able to capture the most beautiful transformation, and really made it all come together. In our opinions, this is by far one of the best additions to anyone’s wedding day
Having Marianne as our wedding painter was such an honor! I can’t recommend her enough! Our guests LOVED watching the painting come together. It’s truly one of our most prized possessions and I can’t thank her enough!
