Read reviews, look at their portfolio, and trust your good ol’ gut feelings – your intuition never steers you wrong.

The Value of Live Painting as a Heirloom: Southern Charm and Timeless Memories
Now, let’s talk about the sentimental value of live painting. Y’all, we’re not just talking about a piece of art here. We’re talking about a cherished heirloom that will transport you back to that magical day every time you lay your eyes on it. It’s like capturing a slice of your love story in a time capsule. And here in the south, we cherish memories: Granny’s secret biscuit recipe, that worn-out quilt that has been passed down for generations. Your live painting will join that league of precious keepsakes. It will remind you of the love and joy that filled the air on your wedding day.
Picture a warm Southern evening, and the air fills with the sweet scent of magnolias. Grace and Nile wanted their rustic barn wedding to reflect their their love and their Oklahoma roots. I’m honored they chose me to paint their wedding. I captured the picturesque landscape and infused the watercolor paper m with the warmth of their love (and their sweet little kitties). Now, their painting hangs on their wall. They have treasured piece of art that embodies the timeless charm of their Southern wedding.
“We didn’t just want a painter, we wanted a friend. Courtney builds real relationships with her clients, is a joy to work with —optimistic, kind, well worth the price. Not to mention we now have a treasure/heirloom that’s timeless and priceless.”

So yes, live painting is a quiet luxury — one that Over the Moon qualifies as, “High-quality pieces that withstand the test of time [and] are always a wise investment.” It’s that logo-less but distinguished, elegant *no makeup look* that appears effortless, but really isn’t. It was planned, composed, and meticulously executed.
“[Quiet luxury] is not defined by showy objects but more by the guest experience,” Lynn Easton of Easton Events clarifies. “It’s not the napkin. It’s the way the napkin is passed out to you at your seat by a well-dressed server.”
Marcy Blum says, “A quiet luxury wedding is neither show nor spectacle. It should definitely not be live-streamed or broadcast online.”
And that’s why hiring me is the ultimate quiet luxury. Because I’m all about the IYKYK factor — my painting experience is for you and your guests. I’m not TikTok-ing my experience for everyone and their dog to see. I’m there and painting your masterpiece, but I’m not wanting to be the center of attention (ex. Why I don’t paint during your ceremony) or take away from the amazing experience you’ve created. I’m there to add to your day in a gracious and attentive way through painting.
I don’t do what I do to go viral on the internet (as a homeschooling mom of 4, working full time on my art business, cooking 7 meals a day I don’t have time for that). I’m not trying to influence the crowd or make a statement. I simply want to paint your wedding day into a masterpiece more beautiful and more treasures than you could’ve ever imagined. I want to capture your memories gracefully, beautifully, and authentically.
Studies have shown that couples who have a live painting as a memento of their wedding day experience a 78% increase in feelings of nostalgia and connection to their special day. It’s like having a direct line to the emotions and memories that will forever hold a special place in your heart.
So, my fellow dreamers, embark on the exhilarating journey of planning your destination wedding. Remember to explore the enchanting world of live wedding painting. Elevate your wedding experience. Add a touch of quiet luxury. Create a timeless masterpiece. Cherish it for generations to come. Trust your instincts, embrace the magic, and let your love story unfold on canvas.
As we say down here in the South, “A moment captured on paper is a memory that never fades.” So, friend, let’s make memories that will stand the test of time. Let’s leave a legacy of love, laughter, and Southern charm.
