Guests enjoy watching the artwork evolve throughout the evening, creating conversation and excitement. At the end of the night, the couple leaves with a completed painting that becomes a cherished heirloom.

"I have been waiting for this day for a long time and have been following Christina's work since high school! When I got engaged I told my soon to be husband, Christina at our wedding was a must!

She did not disappoint. The amount of people who came up to me afterward to comment on her beautiful artwork is so numerous I can not even say a number! Book her! Don't think twice. If you do...she will be booked. So proud to hang her artwork in our home! Will forever cherish this gift. "

Why Couples Love Live Wedding Painting

If a picture says a thousand words... Christina is an amazing artist! We commissioned her to paint at our daughter's wedding and she knocked it out of the park. Christina is professional and so personable. She took the time to get to know our family, the bride and groom, and was so accommodating when we asked to include 2 heavenly angels in our painting. Her work is truly amazing, and we could not be happier with the final piece. This beautiful art will be a daily reminder for the newlyweds of their special day as it hangs in their home. If you are looking for wedding painer, look no further. Christina is your artist!

Y'all... I cannot put into words the MAGIC that Christina works with that brush. So back story, I got the Live Painter as a surprise wedding gift for the bride (my now wife). While I expected the live painter would be a ‘nice little add’, I DID NOT EXPECT HOW AMAZING THIS WOULD BE! I was blown away at the detail, the perspective, the professionalism, the ABSOLUTE PERFECTION of the painting. Not only that, but Christina herself is super cool and so compassionate. She was patient when I asked a ton of questions about canvas size (because I have no idea about anything art-related), she was helpful when I was stressing with other vendors and forgot to send the contract back to her (held our spot because she understood the planning stress), she was kind when we got on a phone call and she talked me through the process, and she is so full of love… And that love, that patience, that kindness flows from her heart to her hands, through that brush and onto that canvas to memorialize your perfect day in a way that not even photographers can capture. When our friends posted Instagram stories from our wedding, almost ALL of them included the live painting in their posts. Some of my groomsmen (big, tough, ‘manly men’) asked if they could get copies of the painting because it was so cool and captured the day perfect. And sidebar: Christina herself is like awesome; we’re friends now. She’s THAT great. Bottom line – BOOK. HER. NOW. She is the best and you will not believe how amazing the final product will be. Thank you, Christina!!!!!!!

We received our painting yesterday and immediately hung it up and we are IN LOVE with it! You did a phenomenal job and we have been just staring at it in awe. We cannot believe how much everyone in the painting looks just like our loved ones! It’s amazing. Truly. We cannot thank you enough! We will be recommending her to anyone we know who needs a live painter for their wedding!
