Live Wedding Painter at Louisiana Wedding Venues
Wedding Venues I’ve Painted Live (and Love)
I’m a live wedding painter based in Louisiana, and I’ve had the honor of painting weddings at some of the most beautiful venues in the South. Each venue has its own light, energy, and story — and part of my job is translating that atmosphere into a timeless heirloom painting.
Below you’ll find a curated list of wedding venues where I’ve painted live, along with notes on what makes each space especially beautiful to capture on canvas.
Featured Venue: Live Wedding Painting at Houmas House — Darrow, Louisiana
Houmas House is one of Louisiana’s most iconic River Road estates, and painting a wedding there live is a uniquely atmospheric experience. The historic architecture, sweeping oak trees, and layered outdoor spaces create a setting that feels timeless on canvas.
I’ve painted weddings at Houmas House and the natural flow allows for compositions that balance the couple with the grandeur of the property without overwhelming the intimacy of the moment. As the light shifts in the late afternoon, the gardens and pathways soften beautifully, which translates especially well into paint.
For couples drawn to classic Southern elegance and heirloom traditions, a live wedding painting at Houmas House captures not just how the day looked, but how it felt — grounded in history, celebration, and family.

Featured Venue:
Live Wedding Painting at River Terrace at the Shaw Center for the Arts — Baton Rouge, Louisiana
River Terrace at the Shaw Center for the Arts offers a dramatic downtown Baton Rouge setting overlooking the Mississippi River. The expansive terrace, architectural lines, and open sky create a striking environment for live wedding painting, especially during evening celebrations as the light shifts over the river.
When painting at the Shaw Center River Terrace, I focus on balancing the scale of the space with the intimacy of the couple. The venue’s clean, modern structure allows the surrounding cityscape and river views to be suggested softly in the background while keeping the emotional focus on the moment being celebrated.
Featured Venue: Live Wedding Painting at Country Club of Louisiana — Baton Rouge, Louisiana
The Country Club of Louisiana offers expansive views, refined interiors, and a polished atmosphere that lends itself naturally to live wedding painting. Whether the ceremony takes place outdoors or the reception unfolds inside, the venue provides clean lines and balanced spaces that translate beautifully on canvas.
I’ve painted weddings here that emphasize both the couple and the surrounding setting, creating compositions that feel elevated without feeling overly formal. The controlled lighting and classic design elements make it possible to capture detail while still preserving the softness and emotion of the day.
For couples hosting their celebration at the Country Club of Louisiana, a live wedding painting becomes a lasting reflection of a milestone moment shared with family and friends.
Featured Venue: Live Wedding Painting at Strawberry Manor — Ponchatoula, Louisiana
Strawberry Manor offers a romantic estate setting in Ponchatoula, LA with manicured grounds and classic Southern architecture that translate beautifully into a live wedding painting. The balance of open outdoor space and refined indoor reception areas allows for compositions that feel both intimate and elegant.
When painting at Strawberry Manor, I’m able to incorporate the surrounding landscape while keeping the focus on the couple and the emotion of the moment. The soft natural light and neutral tones of the venue create a timeless backdrop that works especially well for heirloom-style paintings.
For couples planning a wedding at Strawberry Manor, live painting becomes a way to preserve not just the setting, but the calm, celebratory atmosphere of the day.
