Esther did a fantastic job on our wedding portrait! She was easy to coordinate with, and we spoke months before about my vision for the piece. She shot a reference photo before the...
ceremony (after our first look photos) so she could begin painting during cocktail hour while our guests watched. She traveled to Gainesville for our wedding, and the painting will be something I treasure forever. Our guests loved the entertainment, and the painting she made is a gorgeous keepsake

d the painting to look like (orientation, setting, pose, etc). She worked incredibly well with our photographer and venue staff as well. Our guests loved watching her paint throughout the night as well! Our painting looked amazing by the end of the night so I'm excited to see what the final result will be once she puts the last detailed touches on it!
My husband and I wanted something more out of the box than the typical photo booth, and Esther certainly delivered!

our guests couldn't stop talking about her artwork and how much they loved it! She has been so kind and organized since the very beginning, it was a joy working with her! She truly cares about providing the best experience from planning to execution, to ensuring all guests receive their artwork after! We couldn't be happier that Esther was part of our special night!

ts of us and our guests, which we gifted as keepsakes. Their attention to detail was simply exquisite—each painting was a true likeness, capturing not just the appearance but the essence of the person.
From the start, their communication was excellent. They were responsive, professional, and an absolute joy to work with throughout the planning process. On the day of the event, they brought an air of artistry and grace, making the experience enjoyable for everyone.
Our guests were thrilled with their portraits, and we received countless compliments on how unique and thoughtful the gifts were. Esther Bud Art truly added a personal and unforgettable touch to our wedding, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional artistry and professionalism.

t brought her the tears of joy! Thank you
When I was planning, I wanted to have something a little unique during my ceremony/reception and decided on a live painter. After some research, I came across Esther. Right from th...
e beginning, Esther was so communicative, friendly, and her work spoke for itself. While she is Jacksonville based, she traveled to my wedding in Fort Myers and I cannot thank her enough. She set up during the ceremony in scorching heat with a smile on her face and kept working on our beautiful piece all night. We had so many guests not only saying how cool it was but how amazing the work was. My husband and I were stunned at our reveal - "that looks just like us!!" - Her attention to detail is insane and I really could not thank and recommend her enough. Book Esther -- she will be the icing on the cake of a perfect day!
