I am delighted to share the enchanting experience I had while painting live at Kirsten and Matt’s wedding last night at the exquisite Woodbine Mansion in Round Rock, Texas. The beauty of this venue, with its stunning architecture and lush surroundings, provided the perfect backdrop for a truly unforgettable celebration. Kirsten and Matt were nothing short of dream clients. Their vision for the evening was clear, and I was thrilled to capture a moment that perfectly encapsulated their love story: the two of them standing gracefully on the front steps of the mansion, accompanied by their adorable French bulldog, Moose. His charming presence added a delightful touch to the scene, making it all the more special. The entire event unfolded seamlessly, a testament to the meticulous planning and dedication of the incredible team of vendors involved. I am currently putting together a video that showcases Kirsten and Matt’s heartfelt response to the painting. Trust me, you won’t want to miss it! Stay tuned for this cherished moment coming your way soon. Thank you for being a part of my journey, and for your continued support. I look forward to sharing more beautiful moments with you. #texasweddingpainter #austinweddingideas #roundrockwedding #luxuryweddingtexas #impressionistweddingpainter

Yes! My beautiful daughter Maura (also a wedding painter)got married to her wonderful new hubby Ryan! Here is a short clip of some of the highlights of the day. We love Maura and Ryan so much! They are so in love and we are so thankful to our Heavenly Father God for his immense blessings with these two and their future together! With Maura being a wedding artist, we had to incorporate some artistic touches into her special day. Everyone kept asking me if I was going to paint live at her wedding, but of course, I was going to be in tears, so I decided to paint them a lovely bouquet painting and make them some custom signs. Maura chose a variety of colors for her florals, so we used those colors and made custom paint palette 🎨 signs! Their first dance song was “ If the Walls Move“, by the Gray Havens. Just listen to it, it’s about how our lives are a canvas! (On a side note…, when Maura and Ryan were in school, Ryan took a painting class and painted an incredible self portrait! All so he could learn more about our industry and painting! He’s the best!) Their wedding day was so wonderful and the team of vendors that day was amazing! I couldn’t have asked for more. Being able to relax and enjoy that day with friends and family was such a blessing. @vibelife_media @briarrosevenue @maura.art.studio

I still need to finish a bit of detailing, but I’m so happy with it already! I just love when my clients pick something original for their background. Outdoor scenes with sunsets make my heart sing! #uniquebridalgift #bridegiftideas #hillcountrywedding

Congratulations Vanessa and Matthew! I knew from the moment Matthew call about surprising you, Vanessa, with this painting, it was going to be something super special! God bless you both in every way as you start this journey together! #TexasWeddingPainting #landscapescene

Just a fun night out at the South Congress Hotel in Austin. The painting is going along smoothly and I about to wrap up for the night. This was a backyard wedding that then had the reception at the hotel. #liveweddingpainting #austinwedding #austinlivepainter

I just had to share about the amazing time I had painting live at Steven and Anna’s wedding tonight. The mariachis, the lovely people, and the awesome music created such a fantastic atmosphere. And let me tell you about Steven and Anna - they are the sweetest couple ever! Their love really shines through in the painting. I still have a few finishing touches to add, but not bad for 7 hours of painting, right? The best part was having my son Kaleb there to assist me. It was so special to have him painting right by my side. Huge shout out to all the wonderful vendors tonight. You all did an amazing job! @eventsatthearlo @stephen_tames @anna_hodges @simplyxoevents @peachedtortillacatering @pourtwentyfour @melissahaileyphoto @cloudcraftstudios @truthandblooms @lilacsugarcakes @austinclasico @imperial_floors_ @dolledbyv @ariel_beautyco

Congratulations Jenna and Dyson! Your wedding was a dream. The most inspiring part was that your family joined together to make your dream of a live wedding painting come true!
