So back when I first started planning our wedding my mom mentioned this new "experience" taking place at weddings- Live Painters. I had never heard nor seen this, but googled it and hey that looks pretty cool. Fast forward, I had kind of forgot...ten about the "live painter," but my mom had been doing all the research to make it a surprise wedding gift....and man am I glad she did! Seriously, what neat keepsake to have from our wedding day! From what my mom told me, a lot of live painters were only going to show up for about an hour of the reception and finish their painting at home. Jacob stayed for majority of the time which allowed guests to see the progress of the painting and it was an absolute HIT! People were obsessed and after the wedding, that's probably the most pictures I received from friends, just the progress of the painting- they thought it was SO DANG COOL. I even talked to some friends who said they were watching Jacob and would make recommendations to make the painting look just a little more like either myself or my groom- and he'd take their recs right on the spot. He more or less finished painting the two of us while at the reception and then added in our parents and grandparents later! (He'll add in whoever you want up to 12 specific people) It was so fun to open the package when we got back from our honeymoon! Seriously, I love the painting, it's hung above our bed, it's such a conversation piece. I also made copies for our thank you notes which so far everyone has loved getting to see the final product! 10/10 would recommend Jacob, not just for the final painting but for the over all experience!
