Thinking you may want a portrait of your children or wanting to honor those that are no longer with us instead? This is a beautiful opportunity to celebrate them as well by painting live from a photo of those who are important to you. Watching the portrait of your loved ones coming to life in front of your guests is a moment they’ll remember and speak about for years to come. I happily work with all communities and am honored to be able to celebrate you and your special day however imagined.

Testimonials

“I worked with Kesryth recently at a wedding and he was spectacular!  I was the couple’s wedding photographer and found Kesryth to be incredibly kind and easy to work with and talk to.  Not only was he a gem to have at the wedding, but he is an incredible painter and I was very impressed with his work.  You aren’t getting some cheesy painting for your wall, but beautiful artwork that you will cherish for a lifetime.  I have seen live wedding paintings done before and he is, by far, the best.  I would highly recommend him for anyone who is looking for a keepsake.”

“It was great working with Kesryth on our wedding painting.  I like how he went over the photo he was going to use before starting and walked us through the process.  It was really fun to see the portrait come alive during the evening and for our friends and family to see it too.  I would recommend Kesryth to friends that are looking for a portrait painter.  I can’t wait to see the final finished product.”
— Jon, Groom
“As a wedding photographer, I’ve seen how much fun it is for guests to interact with and watch Kesryth paint during a wedding. Kesryth is one of the most laid-back people and natural conversationalists I’ve ever met and truly enjoys the process. Not only is the couple getting a beautiful piece of art, but they are adding a unique form of entertainment to the day for their guests.”

“Kesryth was a fun, unique, and special addition to our wedding. Our family and friends gravitated toward his easel and loved watching him paint. He captured the day perfectly, and I can’t wait to hang our wedding portrait.”
— Kat, Bride

I am a professional portrait painter for the past five years and a member of the Portrait Society of America. I have portrait paintings on display in gorgeous historic hotels, restaurants and beautiful private homes across the country. My close friend Slomique Hawrylo, a celebrity wedding planner who works with Netflix on shows such as Love is Blind, Love at First Sight and Ultimatum, suggested I transition into Live wedding painting. I quickly found that I enjoy it greatly as I naturally embrace the energy of the evening and the celebration of all people.
