Chattanooga Live Wedding Painter

Mallory Walls, live wedding painter in Chattanooga, Tennessee and Huntsville, AL

Serving Chattanooga and the surrounding area

Hi, I’m Mallory Walls and I’m so happy you’re here!

I’m a live wedding painter in Chattanooga, Tennessee, creating one-of-a-kind artwork in real time during wedding ceremonies and receptions. Live wedding paintings capture meaningful moments in a timeless, heirloom style —turning wedding days into a tangible work of art.

Chattanooga is one of my favorite cities to serve because it offers a variety of stunning wedding venues that create the perfect setting for a live wedding painting, from elegant spaces like The Venue Chattanooga and The Read House Hotel to scenic views such as Howe Farms and The Conservatory at Blackberry Ridge. Each setting offers a unique backdrop for each story captured in a wedding painting.

No matter where your wedding is taking place I would love to be a part of your day and to create a piece you love now and for years to come!

Live wedding painting is a unique experience where an artist paints your wedding day in real time, capturing your chosen moment as it unfolds.

Throughout the ceremony and reception, guests can watch as the painting comes to life, adding an interactive and memorable element to the celebration.

The finished piece becomes a timeless keepsake— and heirloom artwork that captures the atmosphere, emotion, and beauty of your wedding day.

What is Live Wedding Painting?

The Live Wedding Painting Process

  • Once you inquire, I’ll confirm my availability for your wedding date.

    We’ll go over which live wedding painting package best fits your vision and venue. To officially secure your date: A 25% non-refundable deposit and signed contract are required. The remaining balance is due two weeks before your wedding day.

  • About one month before your wedding, we’ll schedule a short call to: Discuss your vision for the painting (style, composition, special details, etc.), go over timeline and logistics for the wedding day, confirm any key photo references or preferred details to include

  • I’ll arrive 3–4 hours before your ceremony to set up and paint the background. Throughout the evening, your guests will enjoy watching the painting come to life in real time. Before I leave, we’ll do a reveal with the newlyweds!

  • After the wedding, I take the painting back to my studio for final detailing and refinement. This ensures the lighting, colors, and likenesses are all correct.

    Your completed painting will be delivered within 4–6 weeks of your wedding date. (Shipping or local hand delivery options are available depending on location.)
