De Vere Torthworth Wedding

“Set on the spectacular grounds of De Vere Tortworth Court, this shoot was inspired by the elegant English Countryside featuring a classic white and green color palette.”

From Sandra Armenteros, photographer

I don’t know why, but anytime I think of England I get definite Parent Trap vibes — probably because EJ is a wedding dress designer in England —

*cue that top hat toss to complete the bridal look

—that Elizabeth James would be proud of this beautiful dress

This wedding shot at De Vere Tortworth Court is romantic, inviting, and picturesque with the majestic backdrop of the manor house.


This well-styled wedding is sure to inspire with elegant details in the Orangery, where the beauty of the outdoors was brought inside for a magical ceremony space. AMV Weddings brought an amazing team together to make magic, photographed by Sandra Armenteros. The bride Lily is wearing an Alon Live wedding gown with timeless sleeves (channeling Kate Middleton) with shoes by Harriet Wilde and jewelry by Victor Barbone. Classic, clean blooms by The Botany House set the stage for a romantic afternoon.’

Interested in live painting or a wedding commission?

Every element, from capturing the dress details to the emotion and feeling of your day, of the painting is carefully composed so your couple can look back on their wedding day 20 years later, share it with their loved ones, and feel that it was perfect + timeless.

If you want a creative heirloom that defies the cookie-cutter idea of what a wedding is, then live wedding painting is for you.  Hire a painter you can trust to be professional, supportive, and experienced enough to make it work, regardless of the time frame.

I treat your wedding like my own, so I only take on few  clients a year at a first-come-first-served basis.
