Okay, I know I’m biased — but if I had a euro for every time I gasped while painting at an Italian wedding, I could buy a villa and a lifetime supply of Negronis.
There’s just something about Italy. The light. The architecture. The way everything feels both wildly romantic and completely effortless. You blink, and suddenly you’re in a Fellini film — but with better shoes and people you actually like.
So let’s talk about why Italy destination weddings make the perfect setting for live wedding painting.

First: that light? It’s unreal.
Golden hour in Italy hits different. I don’t know if it’s the dusty hills of Tuscany, the pastel coastlines of Amalfi, or the stone villas that practically glow — but when that sun starts to dip, everything turns to magic. It’s warm, glowy, a little bit nostalgic… and basically designed for watercolor.
When I’m painting a wedding in Italy, I’m not just capturing what’s happening — I’m chasing that light. The way it bounces off your veil, filters through the olive trees, wraps around the laughter of your guests — that’s the good stuff.

Second: Italy has range, darling.
You want classic countryside romance? Tuscany’s got you.
Colorful cliffside vibes? Ciao, Positano.
Baroque grandeur? Go north to Lake Como.
City-chic elegance? Florence or Rome, baby.
Something rustic and hidden and wildly romantic? Puglia’s waiting.
No matter the style, it’s got drama — the good kind. The kind that translates beautifully into brushstrokes. You give me a villa courtyard, a cypress-lined ceremony aisle, or even a crumbling fresco wall and I’ll give you art that makes your heart do a little skip.
Live painting here just hits differently.
There’s something about sketching your guests while they sip spritzes under string lights and pass around fresh focaccia that feels so personal. So special. So… right.
They don’t have to stop what they’re doing or pose awkwardly — I work quietly, observing the joy, the movement, the emotion. It’s intimate and thoughtful and gives them a little piece of the night to take home.

The art becomes part of the memory.
Your day is already unforgettable — but imagine flipping through a coffee table book filled with guest portraits, watercolor vignettes of the food, the view, the exact shade of sunset that wrapped around your vows.
It’s a forever piece. A little slice of Italy you can revisit anytime.
Italy + your love story = a work of art
If you’re planning a wedding in Italy and want to capture the feeling — not just the florals and fashion, but the feeling — I’d be honored to paint it.
I promise to pack my brushes, my whole heart, and maybe some stretchy pants (because pasta). Let’s make something beautiful.
