The easel arrives before the vows.
While your guests take their seats, I will already be painting in the background and preparing to capture the moment that you want preserved from your special day.
The couple becomes the composition.
After obtaining the perfect reference photo, I paint not only what I see but how your special day feels; the fall of your dress, the way your eyes meet, the joy or tenderness of the moment.
An Heirloom Piece to Cherish Forever
The painting will reach a point of completion by the end of the night and then I will spend several more hours in the studio, where I will add finishing touches and all the unique details reflecting your day, before being lovingly and carefully shipped to you.
