ave followed Katie's art for several years and one day hoped she would be able to do a live painting of my wedding! SHE DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! Even though I was a fan and knew she would give us a beautifully captured portrait, it was how she captured our likeness that impressed us! Truly magnificent!! It was such a gift to have her capture our day and we could not recommend her enough. If you're wondering if she is worth it, DONT HESTITATE! She is 100000% worth every penny!!
Incredible artist and a wonderful person to work with. I would hire her today before she gets booked.
I cannot recommend Katie enough! Next to the bride and groom she was the most magical part of the night. All of the guests were in awe of her talent in bringing the event to life o...
n her canvas. The bride and groom chose to do their first toast as their painting, and Katie had not had many requests to paint from this angle and put a lot of pressure on herself. She totally killed it. I know people may shy away from this expense because weddings are so expensive, however, this is a lasting reminder of a truly magical night. She also offers cards that depict the painting - we used them as thank-you cards for everyone to see the finished project. I cannot tell you how many people reached in excitement over them! If you have any doubt, please don't! Book her, pay the deposit, and watch the magic unfold.
