  • Kim-Vi will arrive before the start of the ceremony or reception to set-up and take a photo of the moment discussed during your consultation (ceremony kiss/exit, first dance, ect). She will continue painting from photos at the reception venue so that guests can watch the painting’s progress while enjoying the party! Her goal is to finish the painting by the end of your event. If additional work or touch-ups are still needed, Kim-Vi will take it back to the studio for some extra love and attention, before scheduling a pick-up from San Jose, CA 95121.
