Hawaii-based Live Wedding Painter 

Laura is a true artist in every sense of the word. Having her at our wedding really added to the magic of it all. During the ceremony, she was so friendly and engaging with all the guests, but without distracting from the ceremony or reception. Having a live painter at our wedding was such an inspired idea, and many guests said they would love to do the same for their wedding. 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. It's something so much more special than a photograph. We will cherish it forever. Hiring, Laura to paint our big day was hands-down one of the best wedding-planning-decisions we made. She was so communicative through the whole process. Afterwards, she also sent a high-res file of our painting that we could use as our thank-you cards, and the painting arrived in the mail shortly after our event. As artists ourselves, it felt great to have another fellow artist as part of our big day, and we will happily recommend Laura with no reservations!

If you are looking for an incredibly talented, kind, accommodating, and sweet painter, look no further! I fell in love with Laura's painting as I saw her live-painting at a wedding I attended last year. Not only is her artwork fantastic and truly unique, she also is such a joy to watch paint and chat with. I knew from that moment that my fiance and I had to have her at our wedding. Our original wedding was scheduled for July 2020, which we have now had to reschedule a third time. Laura was so responsive and accommodating when we had to switch dates. We were so heartbroken to find out that Laura was unavailable on our third date... truly we were devastated and are still trying to find another painter we love just as much. I feel compelled to write this review because not only is Laura beyond talented, but she was so generous to give our full deposit back. For anyone that has had to reschedule a wedding due to Covid, you will understand what a rare find this is. 2020 has presented tough times for all, so it speaks volumes that Laura didn't even hesitate to return our deposit. I cannot recommend Laura enough! If you are even remotely considering having a painter at your wedding or even for a family shoot, or special moment, look no further! You will be so so happy you booked her!

I truly don't even know where to start with my review of this amazingly talented artist, Laura. My new daughter-in-love found Laura early on in the process of planning her wedding to my son. We were in love with Laura's work at first sight! Her paintings draw you in to where you can almost hear the music playing and the guests chattering with joy! Her paintings are enchanting. My husband and I hired Laura as a wedding gift to our daughter-in-love and our son and it was one of the true highlights of the whole day! She is lovely, professional, funny, and so very talented! Hire her, hire her, hire her! Trust me, you will NEVER regret it!

Booking Laura as a vendor for my wedding was a dream- we consider ourselves incredibly lucky to have had her capture our special moment. She is an incredibly talented painter- this is the feedback collected from family/friends who paint/have some degrees in Fine Art. All my guests had so much fun watching her paint live. Upon her recommendation I also made this print as the backdrop for my thank you cards :)

Our favorite wedding memento! 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. It is absolutely beautiful and it captures a part of our wedding that we both really enjoyed. Laura was outstanding to work with from start to finish and is incredibly talented. During the wedding, our guests were all captivated by how quickly and precisely she worked. It was literally talked about amongst our family and friends for weeks. The turnaround time for touch ups was reasonable and delivery was flawless. She even provided us a guide to picking out the perfect frame.

When my partner and I were planning our wedding, we wanted to have something extra special to celebrate the moment. We spent a good amount of time searching for live painters and finally found Laura. Her style spoke to us and we were thrilled when we were able to book her for the ceremony. She gathered the photos that she needed during the pre-ceremony and then got to work in a corner of the event space where all guests could watch her work. A consistent comment that we have received about our wedding was how much people loved having Laura there to capture the moment. She even let our nephew paint a few strokes on the edge of the canvas. From the very first time we spoke, Laura showed a kindness and thoughtfulness in every detail of the planning. This care is evident in the final piece which now hangs as a centerpiece in our living room. We are so honored to have her beautiful work as a lasting memory of the best day of our lives.

Laura was the easiest service provider that we worked with. She brought her amazing talents to a destination wedding out of the country and handled everything with ease as if it was next door! Her work is impeccable! 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, long after we pass. She is an amazing artist and a better person!! Everyone should make this a part of your special day!!!

A work of Heart! Words can't begin to express our gratitude for having Laura paint at our wedding. Beyond her grace and professionalism, she was easy to coordinate with and plan leading up to, during and after the wedding. 
I can't tell you how many people have commented about the painting and what a unique and special idea it was. Guests at the wedding were fascinated while watching Laura recreate and bring our first dance moment to life in a piece of art. Laura captured our wedding in a way which no photo, album, nor video could ever capture. Most importantly, while she works Laura is also incredibly kind, funny and charming with all the guests.

One of the best decisions from my wedding planning was deciding to have a live painting as part of the experience of the day and hiring Laura for her talents to bring it to life! My husband and I couldn't be happier with our painting - it brings us so much joy to look at it hanging in our home every single day. From day 1, Laura was nothing but kind and flexible with us throughout the planning process. She truly took the time to answer all of our questions and attend to our needs. And meeting her in person was icing on the cake! Such a lovely human being - I only wish I got more time to chat with her throughout that busy day! Our guests were raving about Laura's skills at our wedding too as they loved having the chance to watch her paint in real time.

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. It is not just a picture of a day -it is a piece of art that has so much meaning and will one day be passed down to our future children, grand children etc. 
Planning a wedding is no walk in the park and when you see at the end of the process that someone truly captured your vision and not only cared but listened it is beyond heartwarming. Stars can't be used to describe her compassion and creativity. Her work speaks for itself and I will forever be grateful to her for our future family heirloom!

Being the parents of the bride we wanted to give a gift to our daughter and her husband that would last a lifetime. We researched a few event painters and felt Laura had exactly what we were looking for. All the portraits I reviewed on her website moved me. I felt like I was there in the moment - and that's exactly what we were looking for. She was extremely professional and as we spoke over the phone to get a better idea as to what scene to capture, she made you feel completely confident that she was going to accomplish exactly that - and she did. Everyone who witnessed her painting at the wedding were in awe...they couldn't believe she was transforming a moment into a lifetime memory. The portrait was stunning...and every time I look at it (now at my daughters house), I smile and reflect back to a milestone event that we cherish. I can't recommend her enough - worth every penny. Thank you Laura for completing and capturing what was already a magical day!
