“Hire Courtney and go big! The more space for beautiful brushstrokes and detail the better.”
My favorite part was watching the painting come to life throughout the night! It was so fun checking in every so often to see what new details had been added. I also love that we can pick out our moms and certain family members in the painting. I still can't get over how good the colors look, and how many details (like the cake spacer!) you were able to add.
— MORGAN LOZOYA, BRIDE
"After our first call I could tell you were super genuine and would do everything you could to make the painting perfect!"

INVESTMENT
REAL TALK: YOU CAN'T FAKE THIS LEVEL OF EXPERIENCE AND COMPETENCY.
Every element, from capturing the dress details to the emotion and feeling of your day, of your painting is carefully composed. Look back on your wedding day 20 years later, share it with your loved ones, and feel that it was timeless.
Over the years, Courtney has found that every celebration is different and comes with its own set of needs. For this reason, all quotes are made on an individual basis. Courtney creates custom proposals for clients based on what they want and need. Full service collections begin at $5,000, but contact Courtney for a more specific outline of your investment.
The quality of my work is guaranteed. If your clients don't see the work they want, I'll fix it.
Because, you could do the same thing everyone else is doing, hire the fine art photographer and videographer, get your wedding published in Over the Moon, and then leave your beautiful photos tucked away in a beautiful album, in a USB drive, or on your Instagram feed.
You get all of that AND work with an artist one-on-one to curate your entire wedding day into a one-of-a-kind original heirloom. A tangible heirloom that evokes the feelings of your wedding day, watch it painted live in front of you and your guests...
...then quickly receive, frame, and hang your painting, show it to your children and grandchildren, and cherish it forever.
