Reviews From Past Clients
"Devin is so incredibly talented and created the most magical keepsake from our wedding day!
She was so accommodating to work with and made our vision come to life. Our guests were amazed watching her progress throughout the night and the final product came out even better than we could have imagined! I highly recommend Devin to anyone who is looking for a unique way to remember their wedding day!"
Madison
"Words cannot describe how talented, professional and kind Devin is!
My sister surprised us with Devin as a wedding gift (10/10 would recommend doing this for someone you love!) and everyone has not stopped talking about her! She is amazing to watch in action and it was a fun experience for my guests. Not only is it a cool experience to add to your wedding, the painting itself…it’s unreal. Devin’s work is almost life like/a photograph. I couldn’t believe how much it really looked like us!"
Hayley
"Devin was extremely professional and very easy to work with.
I hired her as a gift for my brother's wedding. She added a fun, unique dimension to the reception, as she painted all through the night. There was a constant buzz about her work! The painting at the end turned out better than I could've imagined. A true work of art, capturing a beautiful moment that tells a story a picture never could. It was the perfect, one of a kind, gift. I would hire her again and again."
Tony
"We absolutely loved working with Devin.
From the beginning, she was professional and showed enthusiasm for completing our painting. It was amazing to have her at the wedding venue and work on the painting in front of all of our guests who were amazed at her work! After our wedding, she followed up with clear timelines and we knew exactly what to expect in terms of different editing options. We highly recommend Devin!"
Katrina
"If you want a unique and unforgettable experience at your wedding - don't hesitate and book her!
She captured our first kiss and it was so special to have her painting the scene live for our guests to watch and interact with her. The final product came out better than we could have imagined, and you can tell she pours her heart into each painting."
Kelsey
"Devin is hands down one of the most talented and sweetest people I’ve met.
She completed a live wedding painting for us March 11, 2023, and her talent was worth every penny and then some! She even was so eager to add our two pups in when we asked. We got so many compliments from family and friends about her work throughout the day. She then hand delivered the finished product to us— we can’t wait to hang it as a reminder of our day for years to come."
Alyssa
"I hired Devin to paint my daughter and new son in law's wedding and I am so happy I did!
From the first moment I reached out to her she was enthusiastic, professional, informative and very prompt with her correspondence. The day of the wedding she made herself available to all the guests for conversation and questions while diligently working on the painting of the newly married couple. Devin delivered the completed painting in a very reasonable time and it came out gorgeous!"
Mildred
Devin was everything I could have hoped for and more!
She was so prompt with communication, so kind, and the quality of the final piece is so beautiful. She captured our wedding in such a unique way, and this is something we will cherish forever. I would book her again in a heartbeat!

I Handle the Details
As your event approaches, I’ll coordinate with you and/or your planner to determine the best timing, location, and setup for guest portraits. I arrive with everything I need to create a beautiful, inviting illustration station that adds an elegant and creative touch to your wedding or event.
Guests Sign Up and Pose
During your celebration, guests stop by to sign in and have a quick reference photo taken before heading right back to the party. I’ll illustrate their personalized portraits while they mingle, eat, and dance, so there’s no need to sit and pose.
Watch the Magic Happen
Devin will spend the evening chatting with onlookers and crafting unique portraits one by one, displaying finished illustrations for guests to collect throughout the evening. If the at-home add-on package is chosen, any unfinished portraits will be completed at home and mailed to the event organizer to distribute to attendees.
