Ok but who are these people??? Like WOW. Mae did it again! I cannot stop looking at these photos 😍 also can we stop for a minute to look at these gorgeous FLORALS??

Rottana and I got to dress up for this beautiful styled shoot! I put on my wedding dress from our original wedding in 2018!!! We had so much fun and I am so happy to have these gorgeous updated photos! ❤️

As many of you know, I have been playing around with oils as of late! I decided to try to do a live painting (for a styled shoot, not a wedding!) with oils for the first time and I learned a lot!

1) Still love oils but I need more practice training my brain if I am to use it live! I started painting and my brain fell right back into acrylic painting mode 🤪 I was trying to paint alla prima and I think i would do better if I just focused on rendering smaller areas at a time

2) The logistics of painting with oils out in public are a bit harder. It is a little messier than I intended. Specifically on my hands! I understand why some artists paint with gloves on now.

3) The LIGHT. oh my goodness. I could barely see what I was painting because it was so shiny. I had to get up multiple times to see the differences between some areas.

All in all im happy for the experience. This is why I love to try new things. Sometimes you could find something that truly takes your art further! Other times, you might find what youre doing already works perfectly.

While I do not believe I will really be painting live with oils again, studio details in oils over an acrylic live painted wedding painting might be in my future! Ive got several trial paintings to practice on first! :)

(Shout out to the wonderful team from the styled shoot! Super excited to see all the content from the day!)

Obsessed doesn’t even begin to cover it 🖤

I had the absolute joy of painting for Alica and Matt’s wedding!! From our very first conversation I knew this piece was going to be different, in the best way. Their vibe leaned beautifully alternative, and I was immediately inspired to step outside my usual approach.

After lots of brainstorming, I kept picturing something regal and intentional. A posed portrait, a darker, moodier atmosphere, and soft window light highlighting their features and connection. And since Alica loves Beetlejuice, there was no way I wasn’t sneaking in a little Easter egg. 👀

While hanging out at the Airbnb, and i went searching for the perfect backdrop, and we found it. It was a stunning little room with textured carpets and drapes, beautiful green plants, and just enough window light. Everything just clicked.

Once they finished getting ready, we captured the reference photos, and I spent the evening bringing their story to life during the reception.

Love stories like this remind me why I do what I do. I want the art you recieve to feel like you.

Oh btw if you need a fun alt hairstylist - check out my gal . She makes me feel beautiful every time I go in and is always down for a fun hair color or cut ❤️ 💙 💜

First, a moment for the dress because I worked HARD to make it!

Second, thank you again everyone!!! Im trying to reply to all of the messages and comments but its a little overwhelming! 😆

A little part from the speech.

"And to the wedding vendors in this room (and all who were not there/unable to attend!!!) thank you for welcoming me into your spaces and allowing me to simply be me. You've trusted me with your couples, collaborated with me, hyped me up, and helped turn what felt like a fun and wild idea into a real career.

This award, to me, is a reminder that authenticity has a place in this industry. That being creative, different, and fully yourself is enough.

Thank you all so much for believing in artists like me."

Also shoutout to the amazing team that put this whole thing together and made it happen!!! It was a magical night!

A perfect moment to capture from such an Iconic couple! This couple saw me painting for another wedding at their venue about 6 months prior to their wedding date! During our consultation I could tell we were wanting a classy romantic painting but also needed to show the fun energy that surrounded the couple! The smile during this dip for their first dance was the PERFECT moment for that.

We're just over here thriving. And Painting. So. Much. Painting.

But for real I love my job. This cold weather is just kicking my butt right now! Gotta keep my hands warm so I can keep painting 🤣

I did a lot better this year pacing myself for Christmas commissions. It wasn't perfect, but each year I get a little better! I already have several commissions to do for January/February deadline and I am so grateful for the clients that still wanted paintings even though I was booked up for Christmas. You guys are the best 💖

I am beyond honored and so incredibly grateful to be a finalist for the WEDKC Vendor Choice Awards! ❤️ 💙 💜

This is my third year in a row being named a finalist for Best Guest Experience, and honestly… I’m still blown away every single time. Creating meaningful, joy-filled experiences for couples and their guests is the heart of what I do, so to be recognized again means more than I can put into words.

I’m incredibly excited (and a little emotional!) to be a finalist once more, and I’d be lying if I said I’m not hoping this is the year. No matter what, I’m so grateful for the continued support, trust, and love from this amazing community.

Thank you to everyone who voted, believed in me, and allowed me to be part of your wedding day. It truly means everything!!
