Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
As a live wedding painter, I specialize in capturing the essence of your special day in real-time, transforming the fleeting moments of celebration into timeless works of art. With an eye for detail and a passion for storytelling, I create vibrant, intimate portraits that reflect the joy, emotion, and beauty of your wedding day.
Drawing inspiration from the atmosphere, the people, and the love surrounding the event, I work quickly to deliver a one-of-a-kind painting that can be cherished forever. Whether it's a panoramic view of the ceremony, an elegant portrait of the first dance, or a candid moment shared between the couple, my goal is to preserve your memories in a way that photography alone cannot.
Having painted live at numerous weddings, I bring years of experience and a deep understanding of how to work seamlessly within a busy event. I offer a unique and interactive experience for couples and guests alike—inviting them to witness the creation of a truly personalized masterpiece as the celebration unfolds.
If you're looking for a stunning, artistic addition to your wedding day, let's create something unforgettable together.

Brad Geers
Owner
I've been painting for over 15 years and enjoy capturing the excitement and energy of weddings on canvas. I taught painting classes at Uptown Art, Arte, and Paint bar for 5 years and that is where I truly became comfortable painting in front of people. Over the years I have developed a style that compliments live wedding painting very well. Influenced by the great impressionist artists like Van Gogh and Monet, I paint fast and highlight as many details as possible in ways similar to these artists. Having a background in figure drawing allows me to accurately portray the wedding couple.

Our painting is one of our favorite items we have to remember our wedding day! The guests raved about his work and it was a great conversation piece at the wedding. I loved seeing the progress throughout the day! Brad was easy to work with and delivered the painting framed and ready to go after the wedding. Would highly recommend having him be part of your day and getting this awesome keepsake!

Brad was absolutely amazing from start to finish! I stumbled across him at a wedding expo with our moms and we were so impressed with his work that we knew we had to book him for the wedding (even though it was over a year away at that point!) Brad is not only an amazing artist and captured our first kiss PERFECTLY, but he is also an amazing person! He was so great to work with and such a joy to have present at our day. His work will blow you away!

We celebrated our fabulous wedding in July and one of the highlights was having Brad there painting our day. Our guests loved it! It was such a great day and we wish we could do it all over again. Of course, we cannot, but our painting reminds us over and over again of how special it was. We will truly cherish it forever. Brad so perfectly captured the emotion and uniqueness of our wedding! Very highly recommend Brad to everyone!

I truly cannot recommend Brad enough. If you have been considering a live wedding painter, book Brad and don’t look back. He is incredible. His talent is amazing, he was so easy to work with, and all of our guests were so impressed by him too. Not only did it set our wedding apart from others, but now we have a beautiful painted keepsake to hang in our home. Everyone that I know that is getting married next year I’m already telling about Brad!!

Brad did an awesome job! Not only did he help me keep a secret from my wife and our families but he painted the most perfect picture! Everyone thought it was the best thing and can’t believe how good it turned out! Seriously if you want something truly unique and special then Brad is your guy!

Brad was absolutely amazing! He set up to capture the most amazing view of our ceremony! He was so personable and welcoming to us and all visitors as he painted - even adding in special touches , as one of my (red-headed) cousins asked “where am I?” 😂
At first we were going to take the painting with us the night of the wedding but we’re so glad we left it with Brad to frame and ship to us in Alabama :)
If you need a live wedding painter, Brad is your guy!

Brad is Amazing! He is so kind and talented. It was so much fun for me (the bride) and the guests to watch him paint throughout the evening. The portrait he painted is stunning and displayed on my mantel. I still catch myself just staring at it in awe. Book him! You will not regret it!

This was above and beyond what I expected! I first met Brad at a wedding expo and had seen live painting on Instagram not knowing it was even an option in this area but knew we had to add this to our wedding.
Brad did such an amazing job on our painting and framed it afterwards for us, we are obsessed! Our guests really enjoyed this addition to our big day and Brad was very personable chatting with everyone who came to talk to him.

I hired Brad for a painting of my sisters wedding in July, and everything went perfectly with Brad. He was super on top of the booking and I never had to worry about if he would be on time or how the painting would turn out. He has a great personality and interacts fantastic with the guests while he’s painting. Brad was super flexible about finishing the painting at the reception from the ceremony so all guest could see. Overall, I would recommend Brad to anyone looking to have a piece of artwork created on a special event or day.

Brad was an essential piece to our wedding day. He is unbelievably kind and talented. The painting turned out beautiful, I recommend the largest size he offers because he can do so much with the canvas, it is guaranteed to be a stunning piece. Brad was always available for correspondence and the entire process of painting during the ceremony seemed effortless. All of my guests were thrilled to see the ending result of the piece as it turned out better than I could have imagined. If you are in the Milwaukee/Chicago area I’m telling you Brad is your guy.

We are very pleased we decided to hire Brad for our son’s wedding. Brad has a very warm and cordial personality. He is very accommodating with your requests, and communicates well through email before and after your event. Our guests really enjoyed interacting with him and watching the piece come together. But the best part was his incredible painting! He pays attention to the detail and explains to you what his vision is for the painting! It turned out beautiful! Our son and daughter-in-law were overjoyed with our gift of a live artist! Brad will be a great addition to your wedding or special event.

Brad made my wedding even more special and amazing. I purchased his services as a surprise for the groom, and everyone loved watching him paint throughout the night. He arrived way before the ceremony (even beat my awful photographer there). He is very professional, response, and sweet. Cannot thank you enough, Brad!!

Brad was amazing! Super professional, timely, responsive, and of course his work was incredible. He set up in our reception hall about 2 hours before the wedding began, and then took his work outside during the after-party to keep things going. He was a great center-piece for guests to come take a peek (super unique), and the end result was amazing.

My best friend and her mom surprised us the night before our wedding by telling us they were gifting us a live painting of our first dance! Brad Geers was so incredibly nice and did a BEAUTIFUL job! His communication throughout the process after the wedding (photographing, framing, and pickup/delivery of the painting) has been fantastic as well. We can’t wait to hang it up!

I did not personally hire Brad for my painting but my Maid of Honor did as a wedding gift to me and my husband. Since Brad was out of town for our wedding he painted our first dance from a photo from our photographer. I was speechless when I saw it. The details were perfect. It really is a masterpiece from one of the most important days of your life and what better way to commemorate that than by having it preserved forever in a painting? I would definitely recommend Brad over and over and over, my vocabulary doesn’t stretch far enough to express how in love I am with our painting. Definitely check him out!

I found Brad through a high school friend after seeing a photo of his live painting work. I instantly knew I wanted him to paint for my soon-to-be sister-in-law and her new husband’s wedding. Brad was super communicative and is absolutely talented. Although he was unavailable at the time of the wedding, he was still willing to work with us to paint a photo I received from the photographer. He even made the extra mile and met us halfway to pick up the painting since we live so far apart. The couple were both shocked at the beauty of this painting of their special day. I am beyond ecstatic we went with Brad for this gift!
