Live Wedding Painting

AS IT FELT.

Turning fleeting moments into forever memories through authentic fine art.

AS SEEN IN

A Painting That’s More Than Decor.

Live wedding paintings capture the power of deep connection and the feelings that stem from it. It may be joy or romance or revelry or the warmest sense of home—but whatever that feeling is for you, I would be honored to translate it into a piece that makes you smile every time you see it.

A photo documents. But a painting transports.

This is the kind of piece you’ll return to for decades—not just look at, but feel again.

What the camera misses, I obsess over

Capturing the light, color, movement and feeling of your wedding day.

Marisa & Michael

“Laura is a true artist in every sense of the word. Our painting turned out so much better than we could have imagined.

The lighting in the brush strokes is beyond beautiful, and it has definitely become the centerpiece of the living room in our home.”

Your wedding painting should stop people in their tracks

Not “look just like you.” But be deeply felt and impossible to forget.

Evan & Nicole

“I can't explain this piece from our wedding with any other explanation other than it just brings us so much happiness and is absolutely priceless to us!

My wife and I have our portrait hung in our living room and it reminds us of our very best day anytime we sit down together."

Couples make 250+ wedding decisions.

This isn’t one of them. No endless questionnaires, no back-and-forth feedback

Just trust me to observe, feel the moment, and create. Let yourself be surprised and delighted.

A gift to yourself.

Live wedding painting for art lovers

Hi, I’m Laura- oil enthusiast, light/ color nerd, and innovator of wedding paintings, pioneering an impressionist style others love to imitate since 2006.

I combine extensive old-world art education, real world wedding experience,  and heart-felt artistic intuition to capture the moment in a visceral way.  

With 20 years in this industry, I’ve painted countless couples’ most treasured moments and would love to create a piece you’ll be proud to hang on your wall for generations to come.

“A work of heart! Laura captured our wedding in a way which no photo, album, nor video ever could”

“

  • The portrait was stunning and every time I look at it, I smile and reflect back to a milestone and event that we cherish. I can’t recommend her enough-worth every penny!

    — COURTNEY, MOM OF THE BRIDE

  • Her painting is the most valued tangible item we left our wedding with. Money well spent and the painting will be in our family forever. Everyone should make this part of your special day!!!

    — ROB & AMY

  • There are no words to express the brilliance, talent, and passion I would use to describe Laura’s ability to capture a moment. Our wedding painting is my favorite addition from our big day besides my husband.

    — NORAH, BRIDE

  • My advice to a couple deciding on booking Laura as their event painter would be YES! YES! YES!!! Her pricing was well worth having her there and the fact is you get an original work of art.

    — KELLY, MOM OF THE BRIDE

  • My daughter and her husband will not need to watch a video or open a photo album to remember their special day… just glance at the wall and see the memories explode.

    — VICKY, MOM OF THE BRIDE

  • One of the best people I worked with while planning my wedding!! She is amazing and her work is out of this world. Our painting is way above our expectations. Everytime I look at it I get a huge smile on my face!
