timeless moments, intentionally painted
Live Oil Painting
A + J's desert botanical gardens wedding was so intimate and lovely. This live wedding painting was a surprise for the bride & groom from the sister of the bride. It was gifted about a month out from the wedding so the couple had the opportunity to decide what they wanted the painting to look like. A & J asked for a natural, candid moment of them walking through the desert (they got married at the Desert Botanical Gardens in Pheonix). Their only requests were that the scenery be the focus of the painting & to include the plants and the mountain somehow. That being said, I had a lot of freedom with this painting!

Painted live at a mountain-top wedding at Peaks Resort & Spa in Telluride, Colorado, this vows scene captures the M+K surrounded by the beauty of the San Juan Mountains. The painting was a surprise gift from the bride’s parents, making the finished piece even more meaningful. I focused on the couple during their vows while incorporating their beautiful florals and the surrounding mountains—a scene that truly captured the feeling of getting married in Telluride.

This Sedona micro wedding was the definition of classy and elegant. K + T chose a live wedding painting of their ceremony exit, featuring the iconic red rock scenery at Enchantment Resort in Sedona and an abundance of beautiful wedding florals. K mentioned several times that she may have gone a little overboard with the flowers—and she definitely wasn’t exaggerating! I wanted this Arizona wedding painting to showcase just how beautiful the setting was and capture the feeling of their intimate Sedona wedding day. In addition to live oil painting, K + T added guest portrait painting for their 13 guests to enjoy during cocktail hour. I switched gears to create their guest portraits, then returned to the wedding painting for the rest of the evening.

It wouldn’t be a Flagstaff wedding without the trees! K + A chose to have their first kiss as husband and wife captured in a live wedding painting, surrounded by the golf course, pond, and towering pine trees of their Arizona wedding venue. They also asked me to include a hummingbird and dragonfly, each representing someone meaningful who had passed away in K’s life. When rain changed their outdoor wedding plans, we shifted gears and recreated the original setting using several reference photos. The result was a custom wedding painting that captured the moment they envisioned, despite the unexpected change in location. It is one of my favorite examples of how live wedding painting can be adapted to preserve the vision of the day.

My process for live oil painting focuses on learning what parts of your day are the most important to YOU. Not everyone has experience with painting or even with art. My goal is to get to know you as a couple so that way you don't have to remember to tell me every little thing you want in your painting. On the day-of I should have everything I need to make your dream oil painting.
My style is rooted in realism with a touch of romanticism—faithful to the scene, yet thoughtfully enhanced to evoke mood and feeling. Choosing a wedding painter is a deeply personal decision, and it’s important that the artist’s style resonates with your own, as this is a piece you’ll cherish for a lifetime.
