A little about me:
I’m Abby Stachnik, and I’m an artist living in the Coastal Virginia area. My interest in live wedding painting began when I painted a portrait of myself and my husband for our wedding. Every time we look at our painting now, we’re taken right back to the love and romance of that very special once-in-a-lifetime day. I enjoyed creating that piece so much, that it became my goal to offer my services to other couples who wish to have a very special and personal keepsake of their own, to remember their very favorite day.
THE PROCESS
If you’ve taken a look at my website and work (and my most recent work on instagram!) you’ll send me an email through the contact form below.
Next, we’ll have a quick chat about what you’re looking for in a wedding painting and you’ll answer some pre-wedding planning questions. Once you’ve decided we’re a good fit, you’ll place an initial deposit to hold your date. Yay!
Before your wedding, we’ll schedule a phone call to discuss more details and double check that we have your perfect painting planned!
DAY OF
On the day of, I’ll arrive early to set up my equipment and easel. I may begin working on the background of the painting, but typically I will begin to paint once I have a reference photo to work from of you and your significant other. If you choose to have your painting done from an intimate first look photo, I’ll meet you at the first look location, snap some photos of you and your partner, and then head to the ceremony space to begin painting.
As the day continues, I’ll move my set-up to the reception space, where I will continue working on the painting and entertaining your guests!
When I reach a “finished for the night” point, I will grab you and your partner for the big reveal moment!
Afterward, I pack up, and head home. The painting will leave with me so that I can put those finishing touches on the piece at the studio.
When your painting is finished, I will send you photos and add a layer of varnish to seal and preserve the paint. Then, your painting will be shipped to you or delivered based on your location.

FAQ

Absolutey! For an event outside of the Hampton Roads area I would be more than happy to discuss logistics of making it work!

Of course! Let’s talk!
-
Most likely just a small area to set up my equipment, I will bring everything with me. If there is inclement weather I will require a covered area to work. Oil and water do not mix well!

I would love to! I can paint from your wedding photo in-studio starting at $600.
