A Magical Night at the Boston Park Plaza: Live Wedding Painting for Shivany and Paul
In September, I had the honor of capturing Shivany and Paul’s unforgettable wedding celebration at the iconic Boston Park Plaza. The historic venue, with its timeless elegance and grandeur, provided the perfect setting for this joyous occasion. Built in 1927, the Boston Park Plaza has been a landmark in the heart of Boston, hosting countless celebrations and gatherings for nearly a century. Its beautifully designed ballrooms, intricate architecture, and rich history add a touch of magic to every event.
For Shivany and Paul, the ballroom was transformed into an enchanting scene filled with lush florals and dazzling decor. Roses, hydrangeas, and soft pink accents complemented the golden drapery and sparkling chandeliers, creating a warm, romantic atmosphere. The couple’s event planner had orchestrated a surprise moment for them: with their eyes closed, Shivany and Paul were led onto the dance floor for the grand reveal of the breathtaking room. Standing in the center, surrounded by their loved ones, they were immersed in the beauty of their celebration.
I began painting as the night unfolded, focusing on the couple’s radiant joy and the stunning details of the scene. One of the highlights of live event painting is the way it captivates an audience. Throughout the evening, young children and adults alike gathered to watch as the painting came to life. Each brushstroke seemed to draw them in, igniting curiosity and wonder. There’s something truly magical about seeing an artwork emerge right before your eyes—a feeling I never tire of, even after years of painting.
As an artist, I’m equally mesmerized when I have the opportunity to watch another artist at work. The creative process is a universal language that speaks to our shared sense of wonder and imagination. It was especially touching to see the younger guests so fascinated, asking questions and eagerly waiting to see the next detail added to the canvas.
For Shivany and Paul, the live painting became more than just a piece of art—it was a reflection of the joy, love, and beauty of their day. It captured not only a moment in time but also the essence of their celebration, surrounded by family, friends, and the breathtaking setting of the Boston Park Plaza.
This piece was a labor of love, and I was grateful to be a part of such a significant and joyful event. Congratulations to Shivany and Paul! May your lives together be as vibrant and beautiful as your wedding day.
