Capturing Love: Live Wedding Artistry by Brandon M
Live Event Painting by October Coast Art is a wedding live painting experience based out of Berwyn, IL.
Your wedding day—a tapestry woven with love, laughter, and cherished moments. Imagine commemorating this extraordinary occasion with a stroke of artistry—a personalized portrait that encapsulates the essence of your union. I’m Brandon Marquette Williams, an alumnus of the esteemed School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), and I invite you to make your wedding truly unforgettable.
Why Live Art? Picture this: As vows are exchanged, rings slipped onto fingers, and hearts entwined, I stand at my easel, brush in hand. The ceremony unfolds, and I translate its magic onto canvas—capturing what I see and the emotions that dance in the air. Your guests become part of this living masterpiece, witnessing their own likenesses emerge in watercolor and ink.
The Rehearsal: Where Inspiration Takes Shape Before the big day, I attend the rehearsal. I absorb the ambiance—the arches, the floral arrangements, and the light kissing the altar. This behind-the-scenes glimpse fuels my creativity. I envision the official wedding portrait—the couple framed against a backdrop of dreams. It’s meticulous planning with an artist’s heart.
The Grand Unveiling: Live Painting at the Ceremony As vows echo and hearts swell, I paint. Stroke by stroke, I weave your love story into existence. The canvas breathes, mirroring the promises exchanged. And when you glance back years from now, you’ll relive that moment—the whispered “I do,” the shared smiles—as if time stood still.
Guests as Co-Creators: Watercolor Sketches at the Reception Why should the spotlight be only on the couple? Your guests, adorned in their finest, deserve their own brushstroke of recognition. I set up an easel at the reception, inviting them to step into the frame. Each watercolor sketch carries its essence—its joy, its connection to your celebration. Names and dates etched delicately—a keepsake forever.
Beyond the Canvas: Wedding Portfolio Books and Framing Your love story deserves more than pixels on a screen. Imagine a bespoke Wedding Portfolio Book—a tactile journey, pages whispering secrets through your day. And framing? It elevates your portrait to gallery status, ready to adorn your home—a testament to love immortalized.
Witness the Magic As your wedding unfolds, watch the canvas breathe, colors melding, emotions frozen in time. It’s not just art; it’s a love story told in strokes. Let’s create together—because your love deserves nothing less.

Owner
Brandon Marquette Williams’s remarkable journey unfolds like a canvas painted with resilience and kindness. From childhood fascination with drawing to founding OCTOBER COAST ART in Las Vegas, his path took an unexpected twist when COVID-19 left him blind due to cataracts. Enter Youtuber MR. BEAST, who donated $20,000 for Brandon’s surgeries, restoring his eyesight.
But this tale continues: The School of the Art Institute of Chicago recognized Brandon’s talent, awarding him a full-merit scholarship. Now pursuing a Master’s in Fine Art, he wields watercolors, inks, and bleach with versatility.
