above and beyond to work with us. She offered to refund our deposit or do a watercolor of one of the photographs. We sent her one of our wedding photographs and she created a beautiful watercolor painting from it.

One word - WOW! I first came across Lauren through a friend because of her incredible pet painting talent. After looking at all of her amazing pet paintings I saw she was starting ...
to dip her toes in weddings and thought how unique, interactive and gorgeous would this be to have. Well....IT IS and you won't regret it or working with Lauren! She was very communicative from the start of the process through the end and was genuinely so excited to paint our day. She was a great listener on hearing final product vision in terms of colors, what was captured etc, but took her creativity and incredibleness and made it SO much more. Our wedding guests were in awe the entire night at watching her talent and the progress from blank canvas to nearly completely captured in just a short period of time. After not even considering doing this the first year planning our wedding and having another year with Covid, booking Lauren should have been a top vendor for me and I am SO glad we did. No regrets and was easily one of the best choices we made because of the timeless and unique gift we will now have!

ms a reality! Highly recommend to all brides wanting a little something extra to capture your special day!! We absolutely loved our painting and cannot wait to hang in our home!
I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Lauren and the painting she created at my wedding in May of 2021! I decided to hire Lauren after reading a post in a local wedding ...
Facebook group. I had been considering hiring a live wedding painter for a few months when I happened upon her post. I love art, and Laurenâs style of painting drew me in immediately. She exceeded every expectation I had for the wedding! Since my ceremony was taking place at a Church and my reception was taking place at another location, Lauren and I decided on having her paint our first dance. When discussing the painting with our venue, we decided the best place to have Lauren set up would be right next to our sweetheart table, where she would have the perfect view of the dance. It was amazing to have her so close to us, where we could watch the evolution of the painting throughout the night and where so many of our guests were able to see her and interact with her. She was such a joy to have at our wedding and we loved getting to watch her paint and talk with her throughout our day. Of course, the best part was the painting itself - it is stunning and absolutely priceless. It captured our day and our first dance perfectly. It is currently hanging at the entrance of our house, where I can see it every time I walk through the door. We ended up commissioning a painting of my bouquet as well, which is also absolutely beautiful. I truly cannot recommend Lauren enough for your wedding or event â she brings such a positive attitude and energy, and her work is stunning. So many of my guests commented on how much they loved her and the painting. Lauren and the painting she created was one of the best parts of our wedding, and I cannot thank her enough for her hard work, enthusiasm, and talent. If I could give her more than five stars, I would. Thank you, Lauren!
