Marcela Buckley Art is a talented artist who specialises in live wedding painting.
Live wedding painting is a unique, one-of-a-kind experience where Marcela attends your wedding and paints a special moment from your long-awaited day while your guests get to watch it come together.
Whether it's your first kiss, your first dance or a candid giggle with your new husband or wife, Marcela will beautifully capture this moment in a painting throughout the day.
So while it's entertainment for your guests throughout your day, you get to keep a beautiful painting at the end of it all. (It also makes a great gift for family members or friends).
Marcela's service isn't a typical wedding service, it's a one-of-a-kind live wedding painting experience - a rare and wonderful way to capture the beauty of your wedding day in real time.
How does it work?
A few weeks before the wedding, Marcela will hop on a video call with her clients to discuss the vision of their painting (or if they'd like her to take creative control). During this call, Marcela will talk through the scene, poses and other details her clients may wish to have featured e.g if they'd like a pet included in the painting etc.
On the wedding day, Marcela will arrive an hour or two before guests so that the painting is underway when everyone arrives. During the moment her client's have chosen to capture, Marcela will take photos and videos to use as reference throughout the day.
Throughout the day, Marcela will try to take as little of your time as possible so she will try to jump in with the photographer for this step. She will then spend the evening painting and chatting to guests about her process as they please. This is a big part of the fun!
At the end of the night the painting will be mostly complete and that's when Marcela will share a glimpse of the painting with the bride and groom (photographers and videographers can capture this moment too, if they're still around). She will then take the painting back to her studio for touch ups, finer details, varnishing and framing before sending it back to the couple to hang in their forever home.

Testimonials
Myself and my new husband cannot express in words our love for our painting, it is PERFECT, it is something a camera could have never captured. Our guests, a couple of weeks on from the wedding are still speaking about Marcela and Marcela’s art and how fantastic having a live painting is to have as a memory to hang on your wall forever. I cannot recommend Marcela enough to any future bride and groom. Erin Synnot
I was a guest at a wedding where Marcela completed a live painting of the bride and groom. Marcela is such an amazing artist and it was incredible seeing the progression of the painting throughout the day and how relaxed and friendly she was during it. The finished painting was absolutely excellent and such a great memory for the couple to have. I couldn’t recommend Marcela enough to have as a live wedding painter. Elena Cullen
Wow has this girl got talent - I’m in awe of how well and how quickly Marcela caught the likeness and the light and the detail and everything in between, it’s just incredible. A very special family moment captured by a wonderfully talented artist who couldn’t do enough to deliver a spectacular work of art. Just wow. Jennifer Tully Bell
I recently hired Marcela as a live wedding artist for my friend's wedding and I have to say it was one of the best decisions I ever made. From the very beginning, Marcela was incredibly easy to deal with and her communication was flawless. She was always prompt in responding to my queries and made the whole process seamless. The painting itself was flawless, and Marcela took it away at the end of the night and put on the most perfect finishing touches afterwards. Now my friends have it proudly hanging in their house, and it's such a joy to call over and see my wedding gift hanging on the wall. I couldn't recommend Marcela enough! She is an incredibly talented artist and an absolute pleasure to work with. If you're looking for a unique and unforgettable gift, Marcela's live wedding art is the perfect choice. Margaret Quigley
