This live painting of just the two of them 🥺🤌🏻
I have a package called "just the two of us" and I cannot emphasize enough how much realism and detail I can pour into a painting where all I do is focus on *your portraits all evening. As a portrait artist by training, it is SO SATISFYING.
I spy a tiny dog Easter egg in the corner, their dog Margot.
& thank you so much for having me, and thank you for this gorgeous space!
This wedding was insane & these pics are so gorgeous!!!! I could not ask for a sweeter couple!
Wait for it....
What a FABULOUS time I had painting for James & Marilou at in France. It really was like being in a good dream, I kept looking around and just taking it all in. Memories for a lifetime!
& thank you from the bottom of my heart, I loved meeting you guys in person after our years of planning for this!!!
1,2,3,4,5, or 6 for your personal wedding style?
I can never pick a favorite 😻
These are my last 6 live paintings, I enjoy batch-sharing the images alone. I know insta may be a video app now but idc, static images still rule in my artist brain.

Each painting as unique and beautiful as the couple and their love 😭 Some don't have videos yet, put they are on the way, I'm not chronological with my content, working on it!!!
Show me the paint.
I’m deep into the middle of several big projects. Rolling up my sleeves and getting into new territory feels so good, I believe in following my fear (creatively speaking). If something seems intimidating I get drawn into it, just to see what I’m made of.

Thank you Lady Panda for sharing my work!
Yoko & Frida & Cher 🖤
Answering my top 5 questions!
Feedback is always appreciated, I am trying really hard to get through DM’s but there are too many, sorry you guys so I’m hoping this helps.
Also! 2022 is fully booked, I have it in my bio but some people keep asking so let me just state it again. I wish I could paint for everybody!
Is there any love left here on insta for photos?
I have to show off this painting in photo form first. & got married at and I painted their first dance but used my ✨painting magic ✨ to transport the dance to their cocktail hour courtyard. Easter eggs include a bat signal, a clover, and their adorable chonk dogs!
To Griffin & Kiley, I loved meeting you guys, thank you so much for having me!!! And ps don’t worry, there’s a video too ☺️
Big news! My sister Melody is officially my full-time employee as of this month. Swipe to meet Melody!
This is HUGE for me, and only possible because of you guys. Mel has been working part time for me for a year now, because the emails were overwhelming and I needed lots of help. Heck, even this photoshoot she came to oversee and assist (photos taken by my mom . It’s a family affair!)
Now I can finally poach her from her other work (muahaha) because she is a life saver! Organized, driven, totally used to my flaky artist brain 🤣 I can’t believe we get to hang out for a living abs plan art projects sometimes, it really is the dream. This is what we did when we were kids.
The support you guys have given me and my art is now supporting two of us, we could not be more grateful! Here’s to a more organized and better business for this year and the years to come! Love you 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Love at the 🌊 .in.maine & James got married in old Hollywood style. I gave this painting my whole heart!!!
Enjoy your Sunday, lovelies. got married yesterday and I painted it. 🙏🏼
Thank you for having me back 💕
Playing with strong sunlight is my new favorite thing. what an insanely beautiful couple you guys make 🥰
Get ready for the reel, everybody! In the meantime, vendor roll call!

Jessie & Tom's wedding was EVERYTHING 🍃 When they invited me to Bend, Oregon for an intimate ceremony, Jessie & Tom immediately made me feel so loved and cared for! This whole day had the most amazing vibe, somehow relaxed and incredibly personal at the same time. @rainshadoworganics was a stunning backdrop to @jewel_ofthe_north & @tmoneymccoy's entire vibe. It felt warm, homey, but took my breath away! Life is so incredible, I feel lucky to be a part of these kinds of moments. I have to give a special thank you to @bryndlephoto her work made this video possible! I did not film as much as usual and her photos did some heavy lifting telling this story! #liveweddingpainting #liveweddingpainter #oregonwedding #microweddinggift
I can't be the only one 🤣 Isn't it part of the fun to imagine living in incredible places?? It's one of the best parts of traveling. Everyone needs a little ✨delulu ✨ to keep it spicy. @chateau_lesoliviersdesalettes I mean if you want a permanent resident, I'm very silly and I have a lot of gowns. I'm not quiet but I'm fun! I promise! #travelgram #weddingvendorhumor #watchmaggiepaint #travel #france
Living for her reaction 🤣 Sara & Craig had the most beautiful first dance, and I am so honored that I got to document all the hard work, and the pure heart between these two! They also hired the A++ dream team of Atlanta to create this magical wedding at @stregisatl !!! @edgedesigngroup you were so sweet to me, even while moving a giant chuppah across the room! Your florals go SO HARD 🔥 Also I know people are going to ask, and YES that is a mirrored ballerina you're seeing, aka @baileyentertainment lol. I know you're going to ask! Crazy applause for all the vendors! @toast_events you made everything perfection! @danielshackleford @harwellphoto @epicdesignsinc_ @atlantic_limousine @erinvryser @eventworksrentals @hinote_studio @indaglowproductions @radialentertainment @theatlantatrio @themagnumcompany #liveweddingpainting #atlantawedding #wedding #watchmaggiepaint
Painting the full vision of your day ✨ Chloe & Brad loved the original outdoor lawn for their venue, so when the venue pulled a switcheroo and replaced the lawn with brick, I came to the rescue lol! This was a GORGEOUS evening at The Howie Mansion of course, the reception was still incredibly dreamy and I had so much fun documenting the moment. I have to shout out the phenomenal vendors, most especially @laurenashleystudios 📸 She needs no introduction of course, but she shot that clip of me smiling and helped make this reel possible! @chloezubkin & @bradbowlin put together a dream team of vendors: @blushbbg @aspenavenuestudios @arthurscatering @bathenmusicllc @laurareynoldsartist @irockyourparty @rentalsbyrwevents @inbloomflorist Another heirloom for a new beautiful family to enjoy through the years! It's the best job ever 🥰 #liveweddingpainting #liveeventpainting #weddingpainter #livepainting #watchmaggiepaint #luxurywedding #luxuryweddinggift #weddinginspo
Maya & Spencer had a strange request 🦈 I love this painting for so many reasons! Some of y'all already know this but I offer each couple the option to add "Easter eggs" to their paintings, aka special mementos that are just between the two of you. Inside jokes, honoring loved ones, a nod to your favorite song, first date, special flower, pets, you name it! Well Spencer & Maya wanted knockout roses to be featured as an Easter egg and I said "no problem!" And then Maya said "If Maggie feels creatively challenged and genuinely thinks it’ll look good and not be a goofy distraction, then she has our blessing to try and stick a shark in the painting too! Lol!" CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. It was so much fun hiding a shark in this painting 🤣 Most importantly of all, @maya_meadow & @common_spence12 have the most INTENSELY JOYFUL energy, talk about lighting up a room!! Just being there on their big day at @thebradfordestate was so inspiring, I could have painted 100 sharks for you guys!! So did you find the shark before the end of the video, or did I succeed 👀 Lol! I gotta know! #livepainting #liveeventpainting #liveeventartist #liveeventart #liveweddingpainter #liveweddingpainting #liveweddingpaint #liveweddingartist #liveweddingart #weddingartist #weddingpainter #weddingpainting #weddingart #eventpainter #eventpainting #eventart #eventartist #liveart #livepainter #watchmaggiepaint
What a genuine reaction 🥹 Maria surprised Patrick with a painting that included two of his favorite people in the whole world, who could only be at their beautiful Costa Rican wedding in spirit. His late grandparents watched over them in this special wedding portrait, painted live and on-site at @dreamslasmareas Maria, you are such a beautiful soul!!! I enjoyed meeting you and Patrick, it filled my whole heart seeing you look at the painting. I cannot thank you two enough for the joy of documenting your history on such a special night! I have to shoutout @kreativwedding for being INCREDIBLE to work with, if anyone is looking for a destination videographer/photographer couple, you better hurry up and nab them for your wedding, they are a dream team! Costa Rica also gets a shoutout for being alllllmost, alllmost as gorgeous as Maria in that GOWN, who else is dying? I'm dead, I'm deceased. Maria please let people know the designer (and also me, I want to know) 💕 #liveweddingpainting #liveeventpainting #weddingpainter #livepainting #watchmaggiepaint
My 2025 calendar is officially open! If you got engaged and have your heart set on me being there to paint your love, go to watchmaggiepaint.com/investment and apply! I could not be more grateful for the demand, which is why I wait and open my books in January, to give as many couples as possible the consideration you deserve 🥹 Now let's celebrate @blake.ashley.brackett & Luke, the stunning couple seen here- their wedding was at @thebreakers it really doesn't get more incredible than that! Round of insane applause for these vendors! @59andbluebellevents @bevideography @xquisiteevents @ivyandlacefl @kateblakeartistry @thebridalgirly @papiradesign @theclearcut I love what I do 😭 So excited about my 50 couples for this year, and waiting to see who I paint next year! Let the planning begin! #liveweddingpainting #liveeventpainting #weddingpainter #livepainting #watchmaggiepaint
Family is everything! Molly had a special request for her painting- she wanted her deceased parents and childhood dog looking on during her and Ian's first dance. I was very moved by the entire wedding; if you guys would like a more in-depth look at how this painting was made, let me know in the comments! @mevviston & @ipeviston I will cherish this memory forever!! Thank you for letting me in on such a powerful moment, I know this painting will be passed down and I am grateful to play a small part in the history of your beautiful family together 🥹 @ashleyagnewphoto & @katiemcbroomphoto you have NO IDEA what it means to me to have some *artist reaction* footage haha, I am so glad I didn't know you were filming me though 🤣 Thank you a million times over for this! For anyone curious, this wedding took place in Louisville KY at Gheen's Foundation Lodge! Gorgeous venue! This week I know most of us are with family, so I just had to share this moment :) #weddingpainting #liveweddingpainter #livepainting #watchmaggiepaint #weddingtrend #weddinggift
Corina & Liam 💙 This painting has a crazy story behind it, honestly. Corina & Liam got married right before covid, so it was a two year journey getting to Hawaii to paint them in 2022. I had been looking forward to it so much!!! By September of 2022, I was so burned out and loopy from the two years of grinding away with the untenable schedule I had and y'all- I almost missed this ceremony. NOT A JOKE. I had an earlier wedding address in my books (it got changed somewhere in the planning process), and I was across the big island in the wrong spot a couple of hours early (I thought). I was like.... "where is everybody??" I genuinely don't know how I messed up so bad, I am a PERFECTIONIST and I was mortified, so as soon as I realized my mistake I hired the sketchiest Uber driver in the world to SPEED across to the North Shore. The ceremony was in a park- imagine me RUNNING through the jungle y'all, because I was in a full blown sprint freaking out that I would miss the painting moment, which is my actual worst nightmare!!! I arrived in the nick of time! Unfortunately, I was not early enough to introduce myself to Corina & Liam's families, so at first they thought I was a tourist weirdo who was filming their loved ones. MY MORTIFICATION- I cannot describe 😳. I got what I needed, but I must admit I felt so ashamed and shy. I am NEVER late- they must have thought I was the most awkward woman in the world. At the reception, I vowed to make the most KICKASS PORTRAIT EVER and in record time. I think this painting took less than 3 hours???!? I was at the top of my game- the adrenaline of the day made me feel insanely high, and I had a need to prove myself to this wonderful family. I wanted the painting to say "I promise you are insanely important to me, your love is important. This day is important!" Anyway, I learned a lot of lessons. This wedding was the wake-up call that I was burned out and I HAD to slow down, I was a nervous wreck and stuff was getting m
I wish everyone was this excited to see me all the time- my heart exploded! Christine & Elias aka @lebanesehabibi & @eliassaade absolutely showered their friends and family in food, music, dance and- art! What a night to remember, I don't think I've ever eaten so much in my life! Los Angeles vendors just bring it every time, it's insane.

Why I didn't paint a wedding this weekend ✨ Celebrating Mr. Stanley, someone who helped make me what I am, was such a privilege 😭 Go hug your teachers, everyone!!!! #inspiring #teachers #choralmusic #watchmaggiepaint
Speechified is the southern technical term ✏️ HUGE thank you to Hallie & Logan's guests for starring in this video haha- I will drop the wedding painting vid tomorrow! Now the big question- which type are you??? I am a documentarian, can't help myself. #liveweddingpainting #liveeventpainting #weddingguest #watchmaggiepaint
Wait for it.... #livepainting What a FABULOUS time I had painting for James & Marilou at @chateaurobernier in France. It really was like being in a good dream, I kept looking around and just taking it all in.

Me & my convertible have places to go, and people to paint! Let’s head to Pigeon Forge, TN on July 4th weekend! Janie is an unusual bride, because she’s the wedding planning genius behind her company @edin_events and wowwwww did she throw a party at @the_magnolia_venue 😍 Her flowers were stunning, she and Brennon danced to Springsteen, and she ended the night in a fringed leather jacket. Perfection! I have to shout out Heidi of @44thandluxeevents who coordinated everything and took such good care of me 🥰 What a perfect way to celebrate the holiday! Ended on a high with Dollywood fireworks, too! #livepainting #weddingpainting #tennesseewedding #watchmaggiepaint
I wish I could say thank you in a way where you could feel what I feel. I’m having my busiest wedding season ever, there are more of you following along than ever, and my dreams are coming true every day. This time last year I was struggling so hard, wondering if 2020 meant closing the door on live painting- and now here I am. I get to do the thing I love 😭 I’ll never be able to say thank you enough!

Somebody thought they were trolling me, asking if I could live paint in 5 min. UM YES I CAN 😘 It’s a semi-secret to some, but I occasionally paint mini watercolor portraits of guests... and of course hear everyone’s life story 😍 Bring it on! • #weddingfavor #weddingportrait #watercolorwedding #watchmaggiepaint #guestfavors

I'm Maggie, and I'm a painter based in Atlanta, Ga. I studied at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and finished my painting degree at UGA's Lamar Dodd Art School. Yes, I totally took my headshots with my french bulldog puppy, Dizzy. Who passes up a puppy photoshoot???
I started painting when I was about 4 years old. My mom said she knew I had talent when I brought her a little stick figure drawing and instead of delicately asking me, "What is this supposed to be, sweetie?" She knew 100% that it was a frog. I was the stick-figure frog drawing master at only 4 years old, a title 4 year old Picasso probably never received. In your face, Picasso.
I painted obsessively throughout my childhood, initially to avoid socially awkward scenarios. I found that I could forgo large intimidating crowds and meet people one-on-one, if I simply asked to draw them. It made me intensely study the human figure, and is still my favorite practice. Drawing from life was the best gift I could have given myself, because it cured my shyness, created a catalog of human poses in my head, and it made me work faster.
I was lucky enough to have the artist Carolyn Young Hisel as a family friend, and from age 9-15 she took me under her wing and showed me what life as a working artist could be like. I spent my summers drawing and painting in a professional art studio, while other kids went to camp. She made me believe I could have a career as a painter. All my romantic notions about living as an artist come from relaxing in her english garden and trying to draw the darting koi fish in the pond.
After college by way of Chicago and Atlanta, I've finally come full circle- it mostly means I'm sitting in my pajamas and drawing elaborate interpretations of frogs, but I have also gotten to work for some pretty amazing clients. I've painted celebrities, fashion shows, weddings, magazine events and private gatherings. I've painted pets, babies, ancestors and crazy dreams. I'm here to paint, I'm your painter on call.
What's next? That's really up to you. What is your dream painting, the ideal canvas of personal art you imagine hanging in your space? What is the image you want to wake up to every morning, so you can sip your coffee, see it, and invigorate your day? What is your visual mantra of the love and hope in your life? Let's make it happen!
