Based in Medford, New Jersey, Julia Mooney Live Event Painter and Guest Illustrator provides memorable wedding entertainment and custom keepsakes. Julia, the owner, has years of professional training and plenty of experience painting live. She loves capturing a couple's special moment on canvas, specializing in acrylic paint on stretched canvas, radiating love and emotion in each brushstroke. For guest portrait sketches, Julia works in watercolor and also offers upgrades to include faces!

Services Offered

Live Wedding Painting: During your celebration, she will paint your portrait or the scene of your choice at the easel in front of you and your guests in a fun, non-intrusive manner while you enjoy your celebration to the fullest. Julia will arrive at the venue early to ensure plenty of time to set up and get a strong sense of the venue space, and she will capture a quick photograph of your special moment to look at as a reference for her painting. Unlike many other artists, she does NOT charge for different-sized canvases (you choose what works for you!) and always finishes her work at the event, making it a true live creation. Julia also offers framing for your convenience.

Live Guest Illustrations: Julia also offers live guest illustrations! Live guest illustrations are 5x7" watercolor illustrations of your guests. They take an average of 5 minutes per guest to paint and are always a huge hit. Guests don't need to stand there while she paints! Julia simply takes a photo of interested guests and uses that to look at while she paints. Then, guests can pick up their drawings from her table later in the evening. Guests can take home their own original art to remember your big day forever! Your package includes a custom painting of the couple (in the same watercolor style) that will be delivered after the wedding. Guest Illustrations are faceless, in the style of traditional fashion illustrations, but Julia offers the option to upgrade to include faces for an additional fee.

*Please note, due to the limitations of this platform, some of the photos of paintings displayed in my gallery do not show a full-resolution image of the painting itself.

Julia was absolutely AMAZING. I hired her as a gift for my sister's wedding and she truly captured it so incredibly beautifully. She was so responsive, attentive, and flexible. The guests were STUNNED at how much it looked just like my sister and her new husband. My sister is OBSESSED with it. Julia was so kind and so incredibly talented. If you are looking to hire a live painter, she's the BEST one around!!!!!!!!!!!

So so amazing!!!

Working with Julia was so amazing! I loved the flexibility she offered when I asked if she could do my live painting with watercolors instead of acrylic. She was actually super excited for the change and that made me even more confident in her work. Julia is so kind and I loved working with her so much. She did such a beautiful job and respected everything that I requested. Truly such a treat to work with and she captured such a wonderful memory that I get to look at every day in my home!

A special Moment captured and put on canvas

First I would like to say thank you to Julia for being apart of our special day.When we first booked Julia we had no idea what we were going to get all we new was “how cool would it be to have a live painter” We didn’t talk to Julia much throughout the process,She asked us one question and that was at what moment do you want me to capture the picture.We told her whatever you feel is best take a shot..And she did just that and captured a magical moment and put it on canvas.Julia thanks for an incredibly amazing picture on canvas the detail that you put in this was impeccable we absolutely LOVE IT,So she did ask if we wanted to see or a reveal and we chose reveal..When we saw it another magical moment was captured..Again thank you Julia.#Chris&Tanishawedding 6/2/23
