✨Live Wedding Painting

Your Questions, Answered

  • I capture reference photos during your ceremony or reception. Once I have the main photo, I start painting live at the event.

  • I begin as soon as I have the reference photo. Starting earlier allows more time for detail, giving the best results.

  • Around 70% is completed live at the event. The painting is finished later in my studio.

  • Oil paint needs at least 2 weeks to dry, followed by varnishing and framing. The full process usually takes 6–16 weeks.

  • I complete the final details in my studio, then Vanishing and Framing then carefully package and personally deliver the finished painting to you.

  • Yes! Custom compositions are possible. Since the layout and size depend on the number of people and the scene, each request is unique. Please send an inquiry so we can discuss your vision.

  • Absolutely! I’m happy to travel anywhere in Australia and Worldwide Travel costs will be added separately.

  • The main difference comes down to canvas size, which naturally influences how much detail I can include. Larger canvases give me much more space to capture finer textures, lifelike expressions, and the overall atmosphere of your day.

  • Of course! I’d love to include your loved ones—furry friends too. Just note that there’s a fee for each additional person or pet added to the painting.

  • Yes. I offer commission (non-live) oil paintings, including wedding paintings and family portraits. Sizes are fully customisable, and pricing varies depending on the size, number of subjects, and level of detail. Please get in touch via enquiry for a personalised quote.

✨About Mina Lee

self portrait oil painting by Mina Lee

In my 20s, I travelled across the world with a quiet sense of emptiness, constantly searching for something I could not name. During that journey, I met my husband in Darwin, Australia. Deeply fall in love and soon after we married, and I became a mother. Life had changed quickly, but behind the joy I found myself slipping into a Postnatal Depression.

One ordinary afternoon, the house was in its usual mass, and after finally settling my 2boys down for a nap, I collapsed onto the couch in complete exhaustion. Something sudden and overwhelming rose inside me, an unexplainable urge ‘I gotta draw!’

I grab paper and a pencil and began drawing almost instinctively. When my husband came home that evening, I still remember the surprised looks on his face.

From that day on, I gathered every spare minutes I could find, any small fragment of time, I drew.

Since that day I never stopped.

Pencil drawings became colour pencil drawings and I finally settled on oil painting.

What I had been searching for across the world was not outside of me. It had always been within me. Through painting, I rediscovered my sense of presence and purpose.

Each brushstroke became proof that I was still here, still creating, still alive.

Art is not just what I do. Art literally saved me. It is my lifeline.

Today, as a fine artist based in Sydney. I work across both live wedding painting and fine art. While my studio practice allows me to explore deeper narratives and atmosphere through oil painting, live wedding painting brings me into real moments filled with emotion and connection. Whether in the studio or at a wedding, my goal is the same, to transform meaningful moments into timeless artworks that can be treasured for generations.
