About this vendor

You, in Art! One of my oil paintings will be the most lasting, unique, memorable, and dramatic display of your wonderful wedding day. While helping my daughter plan her wedding, I realized that couples spend thousands of dollars for their wedding photos. These often live on their computers, in photo albums, or coffee table books. By helping you choose the perfect photo, I will use my lifelong talent to create an oil portrait that will be enjoyed every day, seen by everyone entering your home, and passed on as a family heirloom. SOme couples choose an engagement photo ( as my daughter did)and display it at the entrance to the reception. Others work with me after their wedding day to memorialize the perfect photo, and others suggest a portrait as a gift. When you commission me, I will create an image that captures the true essence of your relationship. I tend to work with a less posed photo, as you can see from my portfolio. We try to choose a photo that captures the essence of the relationship. That is where the true beauty lies! MY portraits are not to be confused with "live" painting, which is more of a entertainment at the wedding itself. Mine are carefully crafted heirloom quality portraits. It all starts with a video consult and then a plan to fit your perfect option. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you!

Heidi was very pleasant to work with. The painting was done as requested and in a very timely manner. Great overall experience! I commissioned the painting to be given as a first anniversary gift, and the recipients loved it!

Something to last long after the wedding is over! We didn't use our engagement photos on our dave the dates, but really loved some of the photos we got out of it. We had Heidi paint our favorite engagement photos and displayed it at our wedding. We got tons of compliments and now have something beautiful to hang on our wall and treasure long after all the wedding craziness is over. We can't wait to choose one of our wedding photos and have another one created!

Working with Heidi from Iconic Life Studios was a dream come true! After the magic of my wedding day was over, I knew I wanted something very personal and special as a keepsake from the best day of our lives. Having her painting hanging in my house is just that. My husband and I were blown away by the detail and quality of her artwork. Heidi communicated with us every step of the way. She was very easy to work with and we were both able to openly discuss the expectations, as well as the timeline. It was also helpful to receive pictures of the painting ahead of time before the product was finalized. Now, every single time I glance at the wall in my living room, I will always smile.

My mother- and father-in law were captured in a stunning photo while dancing at our cousins' wedding. They had it in a small frame, but it deserved a much bigger presentation. My father-in-law passed recently, and this image became even more special. LifeIconic (well, Heidi and her amazing talent) took that photo and literally brought it to life. The light of his smile and their love for each other shines through the painting and serves as a true heirloom for our family. Not only is this an amazing opportunity for a bride and groom; this was absolutely the most amazing, meaningful gift for my mother in-law. She was just speechless, and it is a joy to see their love represented so beautifully in the portrait each time we visit.

I asked Heidi to paint my husbands daughters wedding photos as a gift. Heidi is not only talented; she is charming, warm, and listens to the cleint. When we recieved the paintings they were much more than pictures. Heidi was able to portray in the paintings the unique personalities of each daughter. The two paints are very special for us.

My husband and I LOVED our painting by Heidi! We couldn't believe how much it resembled the original photograph and captured the moment. Heidi is an absolute dream to work with, in both her professionalism and dedication to making her clients happy. Her talent is evident; I can't tell you how many compliments we receive on our piece! I would highly recommend Life:Iconic Studio to any couple, or to anyone looking to purchase a standout gift!

I learned about Heidi and her paintings of photographs through a friend of a friend. I immediately fell in love with the idea of capturing Brian and my wedding day in such a unique and personal way. This was my second wedding, and I have personally witnessed the lifeline of wedding photographs—from anxiously waiting on their arrival into your inbox, to being downloaded to a USB, to being uploaded onto social media, and then to be forgotten about. Countless friends of mine have their wedding photos either stashed somewhere on the cloud, or stuffed in a wedding album that never gets opened. That’s why what Heidi does is so special. She creates a beautiful, one-of-a-kind piece of art that you can display in your home. It won’t be forgotten about like many wedding photos are, and it will always be a great conversation piece with guests! When I started working with Heidi, I was hopeful, anxious, and excited. Heidi overdelivered in every way imaginable. Besides her warm personality, she truly is a professional and treated the entire journey as such. She gave advice on the process, solicited my feedback to ensure my expectations were met, and worked with me to ensure the final product was just perfect. I absolutely adore my wedding painting and look forward to other big milestones in Brian and my life so we can ask Heidi to create another masterpiece! Lindsey

Heidi did such an amazing job capturing our wedding day with her painting. We worked together to pick the photograph that would work best as a painting, and she truly delivered. I have had so many people ask me where I got our painting including a professional photographer who was just amazed and how well she captured the photo and the moment. Our painting is hanging up in our living room where we see it every day. It's truly our favorite memento from our wedding!

10 stars! Heidi is unbelievably talented and the process was so easy from start to finish. We originally didn't plan to have a painting done, it was almost 4 months after our wedding when we started working with Heidi. We can't imagine not having this beautiful painting in our home! Worth every penny and more.

I can’t begin to tell you how much our portrait means to both my husband Ted and me. Heidi captured our first dance at our wedding in this painting in a way that brings me right back to that magical, joyful moment. Her expert level of artistry and skill are unparalleled. Heidi is the best of the best. The way she captured us in the movement in our first dance, the expressions of our guests cheering us on around us, the glow of the lighting in the ballroom, the enchanted feeling of the celebration, takes my breath away every time I look at this painting! I highly recommend Heidi and Life:iconic Studio to capture your favorite wedding moment in a beautiful painting that you and your partner can cherish forever and pass down as a family heirloom. I think this would also make an amazing gift for a parent to give to their newlywed son or daughter.
