Some moments are too meaningful to live only in photographs.

My name is Christina Pappion — known across the country as a live wedding painter and professional artist. As of 2026, I have painted hundreds of weddings and live events from coast to coast, and I cannot wait to capture yours.

Since beginning this journey, I have been blessed to paint at countless celebrations across the United States — from intimate Louisiana ceremonies to grand ballrooms in New York, Dallas, Virginia, and beyond. I have been featured in Style Me Pretty, Martha Stewart Weddings, and People magazine, painted live for the NFL's New Orleans Saints and the NBA's New Orleans Pelicans, created commissioned work for Amazon, and been recognized as the #1 Wedding Painter in New Orleans on Google.

My passion for live wedding painting lies in capturing the subtle glances, the tears, the laughter, and the quiet emotional connection that make each couple completely unique. No two love stories are the same — and no two paintings ever are either.

While my style is bold and expressive, my true focus is always the feeling of the moment — creating an authentic, living memory of your day that will move you every time you see it. Every brushstroke is intentional. Every canvas is an act of witness.

"I am a pencil in the hand of God." — Jeremiah 29:11
