In this episode of Now That I’m Engaged, How Do I Get Married?, Kevin and August sit down with Brittany Branson — a born and raised Jersey girl, destination live wedding artist, and coach for creatives based in the greater Washington, DC area. Since 2015, Brittany has helped hundreds of couples across the US and beyond turn their most memorable moments into meaningful masterpieces.

Drawing on her “past life” in arts administration and legislation, Brittany blends her creative strategy expertise with a passion for the arts to help couples create one-of-a-kind wedding keepsakes. From live painting your first kiss to illustrating guests as take-home favors, Brittany shares how art can enhance your wedding design, guest experience, and emotional impact. She also opens up about her commitment to giving back, donating a portion of every service to the animal rescue where she and her husband adopted their two beloved dogs, Bolt and Ginger.

Highlights:

• What a live wedding painter does (and why it’s a two-in-one experience)
• How live art enhances guest engagement throughout the night
• Unique ideas for incorporating pets and loved ones into your painting
• Guest fashion illustrations as one-of-a-kind take-home favors
• Creative ways to infuse art into your wedding design, from stationery to signage
• Tips for surprising your guests with a live artist (without the venue finding out)
• Memorable trends Brittany loves from the world of arts and humanities

Whether you’re art-obsessed or just looking for a fresh way to wow your guests, this episode will inspire you to think beyond traditional entertainment and favors — and maybe even commission your own wedding day masterpiece.
