Let Me Paint Your Wedding Day!
Your Love Story On Canvas!
Another Happy Couple!
What is "Live Wedding Painting?"
Simply put, I come to you or your loved one’s wedding and paint whatever special moment you’d like me to capture in real time! I bring all my own supplies: canvas, paint, brushes, easel, etc. The custom painting includes a scene of the newlyweds in their favorite wedding moment and all the lovely details of their day!
When that special moment I’ve been requested to paint occurs (first dance, ceremony exit, exchange of vows- you name it!) I paint fast and take additional reference photos, so I can fully capture the essence of the scene. This is when the painting truly comes to life!
About Laura
Hi friends! I’m Laura, an artist located just outside of St. Louis, MO.
I’ve had a strong passion for creating since a young age. As a child, people would ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up, and I always answered “artist.” I graduated with a degree in Studio Art in 2013. After that, I worked as a freelance artist, painting instructor, and high school art teacher. Once I became a mother, I moved into art full-time, and I couldn’t be happier! I absolutely adore the excitement of live painting and capturing people’s special moments on canvas. At this point in my career, I’ve created hundreds of custom paintings for people!
Words From My Clients
“We hired Laura the Wedding Painter for our daughter’s wedding reception. We thought it would be a “fun and quirky” addition to the night. What we got was so much more. Laura amazed and entertained our guests from (literally) start to finish with her talented artistry. Guests stood around her and watched as she captured the bride and groom in a painting that can only be described as stunningly gorgeous and unbelievably lifelike. She completely captured the love of the couple and the beauty of their special day. Thank you Laura for being the smash hit of the reception! 10/10 recommend!”

I could not recommend Laura enough. Out of every wedding painter we talked to, Laura was by far the best! Not only does she do incredible work, but she is extremely professional and a joy to work with! If you are going to get a live wedding painter, go with Laura! I'd leave 100 stars if I could!”

Laura was an absolute dream to have at our wedding this past March! She was so easy to work with, and incredibly talented! Our guests were blown away by her during the reception. I really appreciated that she offered different packages and helped us find the best fit for us. As soon as it was ready it went right up on the wall in our house for all to see! I would highly recommend her if you are looking for a live painter for an upcoming wedding or event! Thank you again, Laura”

“Laura was absolutely this and more!! She was a center focus of our night as our guests kept checking to see how the painting was coming along. It was absolutely incredible what she did and a work of art. Laura is so talented and took the time to talk with me before the wedding to make sure she captured specific details that I wanted.
