HIRE HER NOW!!! The best investment of our wedding by far. She arrived early to paint the background and was done with the entire painting within an hour after the ceremony. The detail in the painting was absurd. She painted my tattoo, my husbands ring, and two rings on my right hand. And on top of everything she is sweetest and kindest person. She text us on each holiday and immediately responded to any text we sent. You will not regret hiring her! We will have this person piece of work forever!

What does the process look like?

  • First, I Sketch it Out

    I begin the painting by setting down a tone and sketching out where everything needs to be. I can add special elements, change where things are in reality to make it work in the painting, add people, and pets or take out tables and guests. This stage is very fluid, I can erase and add without fear of messing things up.

  • Layer in Elements

    Within an hour or two, you will begin to see your special moment unfold like magic!

  • Final touches

    After the first layer, I add and add to get more details. When I’m done, I can add a light gust of wind carrying pedals or rays of light that will make your painting so unique and special.

Recent works and Kind words

I met Abby at a wedding I photographed a couple weeks before my own wedding. I was amazed by the work she created. I immediately knew I wanted her to paint my wedding as well. Abby is precise & detailed in her work. Her paintings are full of vibrant colors & capture the special moment of you and your significant other getting married. I love how realistic her paintings are. She pays close attention to detail. My wedding coordinator stated that she has had live wedding painters at her venue before but none of the portraits had turned out as great as Abby’s work! She stated that the painters she has worked with before took months to give their clients the final product . I left my wedding reception with my painting!! Abby finished my painting before we had finished eating cake! That being said the efficient time she completes her work in does not take away from the detail or accuracy of the portrait. On top of all of that Abby is a very sweet person! She definitely makes sure she knows everything you want before your wedding day. She will even hype you up leading to your big day! I loved having Abby paint at my wedding and I now have an artwork that will help me remember my wedding day forever. I recommend that everyone hire Abby as their live wedding painter!!

-Morgan Horner

Abby is such a talented artist and she is super sweet! We hired her for our wedding and we were so glad we did! Our guests loved her and she did such a phenomenal job on the portrait she painted for us. I would highly 100% recommend her to anyone! Thank you so much Abby!

-Rachael Woods

I could not have anyone better do this! Me, my husband and all our guests were in love with our live painting. We still hear it 6 months later how amazing it was! If you are thinking about booking, do it you won’t regret it!

-Jordan D

I cannot express to you enough… that painting is my favorite keepsake that we have from our wedding without a doubt. I used to paint myself and am truly amazed at the detail and color matching she was able to do in such a short amount of work. Absolutely a gift. Thank you so much… I don’t know how much you relieved for your services… but it simply wasn’t enough.

-Groom

Abby painted our ceremony on our wedding day and we could not be more happy with the final result! She is the sweetest soul and presented our final painting to us by the reception. We cannot wait to hang it in our home!

-Autumn J.

Abby did a wonderful job! The painting captured one of my favorite moments of the wedding, and resembled us so well! Not only did it provide a source of entertainment for our guests, but also created a keepsake from our special day! I would highly recommend Abby to anyone who is interested in hiring a live wedding painter. She is incredibly talented and easy to work with!
