How many weddings do you take per year?

Each year this changes, but this year I am only accepting under 8.  I do this so I can give my couples my full attention and the best experience and painting, and not spread myself too thin. I'm not in it for the money, I'm in it for you.  

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you available for our date?

To ensure your date is available, be sure to reach out as soon as possible to reserve your date. It's easy and takes >5 minutes.  Once you make your final selection, sign the contract, and pay the deposit to reserve your date. It's simple and quick. I'm here to serve you.

What is your pricing like?

Every wedding is beautiful and unique, so I create custom tailored proposals for every couple to ensure all their needs and wants are met.  Most couples spend an average of $7,000-12,000.

How many paintings do you include?

Each of my custom tailored collections varies based on coverage time, but I promise you'll have beautiful paintings to walk away with.  These are your memories, and I promise to capture them fully and artfully, so you can relive them forever.

When will I receive my painting?

Since I work with only a few couples a year and use watercolor, my turnaround time is faster than most event painters! You’ll get to see the final product as soon as it’s finished before the end of your wedding and will receive a beautiful package on a date we determine together. 

What happens if disaster strikes?

Heaven forbids this happen, but we know that Covid-19 changes everything.  If changes arise due to Covid-19 or another disaster, you will have first access to available dates. 

Do you paint families and other commissions?

Yes, I do in-studio commissions using photographs or videos, but I reserve the first spots for previous clients.

How long have you been an artist?

Short answer? My entire life. I started painting as a child and never wanted to stop.

When will you arrive to our wedding location?

I'll arrive at early to begin setting up and start sketching.  For destination weddings and elopements, I'll scout the location the day before.

How does covering travel expenses work?

Travel expenses are included in all of my custom collections, so you will never have any unexpected costs.

Do you offer discounts?

No, my prices are firm.

We love your work.  Do you travel?

Absolutely! I can capture your unique love no matter where it is. Reach out and we can work out the finer details. 

get in touch

Communication is everything.  That's why getting to know the couples and planners I work with is so important.  Whether it's scheduling a Zoom call, phone call, etc. I want to get to know my people and be in sync.

Email is what I do best.  I prefer to have everything in writing if possible so nothing gets lost in the shuffle.

Creating beautiful paintings live not only requires skill and efficiency, it requires a team of incredible vendors to bring the painting together.  It requires an understanding of everything that's happening and being able to react in real time.  It's a high bar, but it can be done, and it's worth it.

TIMELY COMMUNICATION

COLLABORATION

Everything is discussed beforehand so there are no surprises.

This is not just about a pretty painting. 
It's about respecting what's been set in stone, being able to think out of the box and create the perfect piece within the time-frame allotted, and I will go to the ends of the earth to make that happen.

SEAMLESS PROCESS

Everyone's wedding is special and unique.  Proposals are custom, tailored to each couple on an individual basis.  They are easy to read and digest.  Each proposal shares simply what is and isn't included in each offered collection.

There's no one formula that works for every client, so each proposal is tailored to who I'm working with and allows me to set expectations (and exceed them) properly.
