Welcome back to Project Engaged! This week, we sit down with TikTok and Instagram sensation Rebekka Lord-Johnson aka The Wedding Painter!
She is one of the most in-demand vendors in the country, known for transforming fleeting wedding moments into stunning, realistic canvases right before everyone's eyes.
We dive right into Bek's highly unconventional path to success, from dropping out of four different university courses to finally teaching herself how to paint during a three-month lockdown crash course. We also get the ultimate behind-the-scenes scoop on her strict live-painting logistics
She breaks down how she directs lightning-fast three-and-a-half-minute photo shoots, tweaks poses so couples look their absolute best, and why she strictly avoids setting up her easel anywhere near the dangerous dance floor.
You definitely don't want to miss her wildest stories! Bek shares what it's like showing up in a blonde wig and glasses to pull off a surprise portrait reveal, and recounts a terrifying "abduction" by a rogue Italian taxi driver and she haulling 40 kilos of art gear up a mountain.
