About this vendor
Greetings! đź‘‹
I'm Ylenia, a passionate Italian artist specializing in live wedding paintings. 💍👰🏻‍♀️💒 Based in Southern California, I'm delighted to capture the magic of your special day through my business, The Live Wedding Painter by Artist Ylenia Mino.
Unlike fleeting flowers and dresses that are confined to the wedding day, a live painting is an everlasting investment. It becomes a cherished heirloom, a testament to your love story that will never fade away.
During your wedding, I meticulously capture all the key elements, ensuring that no detail goes unnoticed. After the event concludes, I take the painting back to my studio, where I add important nuances and ensure the recognition of your beloved guests. Once the painting is complete, I will personally deliver it to you or arrange for safe shipping.
Let's transform your wedding day into a timeless masterpiece! Reserve your date and reach out to me! Together, we'll create exquisite artwork that will forever encapsulate the beauty and emotion of your special day.

Hiring Ylenia as a live wedding painter as a gift for my grandmothers wedding was one of the best choices we made! She added such a beautiful, unique, and emotional element to our ...
day. The guests were completely mesmerized watching her work throughout the evening — it became an experience everyone talked about long after the wedding.
From start to finish, she was a dream to work with: professional, kind, responsive, and incredibly talented. She listened to what was important to us and somehow captured the exact feeling and energy of the moment on canvas. The finished painting is absolutely stunning.Â

orite wedding moment should've been considered a must have. Thinking about the amount of money we spent on the wedding, this was a tiny percentage and yet we get to experience joy every time we look at it, not just because it represents our special day so beautifully, but also because of our appreciation of the incredible skill it took to create it. What a pleasant surprise. We are thrilled with Ylenia's work and can't recommend her enough. If you commission her, you'll be glad you did! Thank you sincerely, from the both of us, Ylenia. You've created a deeply meaningful heirloom for our family.

our moment perfectly.
We held a post elopement party a few months after the ceremony where we were able to reveal the painting. My husband and I were speechless. It turned out so much better than expected! Our guests were amazed as well! I love our wedding photos but this painting will be one of our favorite memories from our wedding. I highly recommend Ylenia's work for any and all special occasions. This piece looks absolutely stunning in our living room.
