About Rachel Shannon Art

Rachel Shannon Art

Artist and Owner

For the couple who craves cinema & artistry. Your wedding day deserves to be remembered as more than a photograph. Through live wedding painting, I capture the beauty, atmosphere, and emotion of your celebration in a one-of-a-kind artwork created before your guests’ eyes. I'll bring my paint, easel, and canvas, and capture your wedding live during your cocktail hour and reception. A delightful way to entertain and astonish your guests, leaving them with a memory they'll never forget and you with an heirloom you'll treasure forever.

My style is romantic and realistic. I am the wedding painter for the couple who doesn't just want their wedding painted: they want their wedding to be captured into a piece they are proud to hang in their home happily ever after. Obsessed with Monet? Fabulous, I'll loosen my brush strokes to ensure your painting is museum quality. Want it to look just like you? Done.

In three words: Calm, Confident, Creative

    A MUST hire for your wedding day!!!

    Rachel was truly one of the most special parts of our wedding day. I planned having her as our live painter as a surprise for everyone at our wedding, including my groom, and it ended up being one of the most memorable moments of the entire night. From the moment Rachel started painting, our guests were completely captivated watching the artwork come to life throughout the evening.  The painting took our breath away. She captured the emotion, beauty, and feeling of our ceremony so perfectly that it instantly brought us back to that exact moment. Seeing such an important memory turned into a timeless piece of art is something we will cherish forever.  Beyond her incredible talent, Rachel was so warm, professional, and wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. We are endlessly grateful to have this painting to remember our wedding day, and we cannot recommend her enough to any couple looking for something truly meaningful and unforgettable!!

    Great!

    Rachel's work is really incredible! She is so diligent and can produce something really special remarkably quickly. I love everything about the painting she made for us and we would have her do it again in a heartbeat!

I paint on canvas and use both acrylic and oil paint-- though it depends on the subject and the painting. Sometimes I only use oil, depending on the effect I want to achieve. If you have any specific requests for your piece, let's discuss on our consultation call!
Live wedding painting is a one-of-a-kind experience where I create a custom painting during your wedding day, capturing the beauty, atmosphere, and emotion of your celebration in real time. Guests can watch the artwork come to life throughout the event, making it both meaningful entertainment and a lasting keepsake. Using your venue, decor, and special moments as inspiration, I paint a romantic scene from your wedding — often the ceremony, first dance, or another meaningful moment — and refine the details afterward to ensure the finished piece becomes a timeless heirloom you can treasure for years to come.
Yes! I also paint guest portraits live as a favor they will be BEGGING to take home. If this is something you're interested in, send me an email at rachelshannonart@gmail.com
While I will cater my process to your vision, most clients I work with typically have me attend the ceremony to capture a special moment on camera, then I paint during cocktail hour and the reception. I paint up to 7 hours live!
