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!

The Live Wedding Painting Portfolio
The accurate and detailed rendering of individuals will always be my highest priority. You may choose your most anticipated location, pose, or moment from the wedding day, a mixture of several moments, or an entirely unique scene.
The options are as vast as your imagination allows. As I witness the event, I take in every detail you’ve thoughtfully implemented into your day. The way the light hits the scenery, the detail within your expressions, and the saturation of the moment, are masterfully composed into a bright and charming representation of your unique vision!
Confirming Availability
Please confirm your venue and event date before heading on over to my inquiry form! Include essential details about yourselves, your event, and your vision. I will reach out to either confirm my availability for your date and provide next steps or recommend local artists for you to continue your search. Either way, inquiring with me is a win!
Discovering your Vision
Woo Hoo! I’m available for your date! You’ve received the Live Painting Guide, and have reviewed the offerings. Next, you’ll complete the Questionnaire and schedule our phone or Zoom consultation. We’ll have the opportunity to chat and get to know one another, discussing your painting vision, and important day-of considerations.
Securing Your Date
After our call, you’ll receive your contract and invoice. Signing the contract and paying the 25% deposit will confirm your booking and secure my live painting service for your wedding or event!
Pre-Wedding Check-In
Three months prior to your event, I will reach out via email to confirm the details determined during our initial consultation. If further discussion is needed, we’ll schedule a second call at this check-in period. I connect with your event coordinator at this time to exchange information and my COI (Certificate of Insurance) and to establish a game plan for a successful evening of painting.
Elevating your Event Experience
Today is the big day! Because we’ve predetermined the vision, my location, and logistics, you get to relax and be in the moment as I bring your vision to life. If you’ve requested a mini-photoshoot for a specific pose, I will work quickly and kindly to capture your pose, confirming the reference with you during the reception. Curious guests may watch or conversate with me as I work, and they may even add a small detail of their own! At the end of my service, I will present you with the progress, then I will return to the studio with the artwork to be touched up.
Post-Wedding Check-Ins
Depending on my volume of work, you can expect to hear from me within 2-8 weeks of your event to discuss the direction of the painting, share final photos, and confirm your approval of the final work!
Final Steps
Once approved, I have your painting professionally photographed at my local print shop. I provide you with a high-quality image of your painting, as well as the option to purchase fine art prints for family and friends. (Or maybe you love it so much you want a second!) I’ll reach out to coordinate delivery within 1 hour of my location, or to confirm your shipping address. Voilá, the live painting process is complete, and you are now the proud owner of a unique heirloom, capturing your vision, and allowing you to reminisce through every thoughtful brushstroke. Typically, turnaround time from start to finish is 6-8 weeks.

*Note that traditional (7/8”) thick canvases are preferable for framing, and gallery-wrapped (1 1/2”) thick canvases are preferable to present without a frame, or with a more grand frame.
