About
ZL Studios creates live wedding paintings for couples in Minnesota, including the Saint Cloud area. Artist Alexandra Bush is based in Brainerd/Baxter and explicitly lists St. Cloud among the places she travels for weddings.
Live wedding painting with ZL Studios
Couples choose the moment to capture, such as the ceremony, first kiss or first dance. Alexandra paints during the event, giving guests a chance to watch the artwork develop, then returns the painting to the studio for finishing.
ZL Studios lists three standard canvas sizes: 16×20, 18×24 and 24×36 inches. Other sizes are available on request. A separate venue-painting add-on is also offered. The live-painting service is distinct from a studio commission created from a photograph. Couples should discuss which approach suits their wedding plans and the artwork they want to keep.
Shape the painting brief
Share the venue, date and meaningful details you would like represented. Ask where the easel can be placed, how the chosen moment will be captured and what access the artist needs before guests arrive.
Confirm the canvas size, travel arrangements, studio-finishing schedule and delivery details in writing. The painting is not presented as complete at the end of the reception; finishing continues afterward. This makes ZL Studios a fit for couples seeking both an activity guests can observe and a finished keepsake for their home.
When choosing a place for the finished wedding artwork at home, couples can consult the Smithsonian Museum Conservation Institute’s painting-care guide alongside the artist’s specific care instructions.
