Looking to add something unique to your wedding or have a priceless keepsake from your day? I can help! Mackenzie Elliott Studio offers original paintings on canvas and watercolor guest portraits as wedding favors for your big day or event. Based out of Travelers Rest, SC, I can be there to encapsulate your memories on a canvas that you can keep forever.
Putting love on canvas is one of my favorite things! I will arrive 4-6 hours prior to the event to set up the painting. While your event is going on, I paint from a number of options: your ceremony, reception, or an important moment. By the end of the event, the painting will be finished and ready to go home with you. It will be ready to hang unless you choose to add a custom frame.
I also specialize in creating one-of-a-kind watercolor portraits of your guests, gifts for parents, couples, and family members. I digitally draw and hand paint churches, homes, and portraits of people that may have passed away before your wedding day. These gifts and keepsakes are incredibly special to create and I love working with clients to make sure it is perfect.

I saw Makenzie’s work at another wedding, and immediately knew I wanted to hire her for mine! My dad passed away many years ago, so I sent her photos of him and then photos of my bridals to paint a photo of us together on my wedding day. I placed the photo on his reserved chair during the ceremony. It was the most special and amazing painting I’ve ever seen! Not having my dad there to walk me down the aisle was heartbreaking, but Mackenzie gave me a glimpse of what it would have looked like, and I can’t thank her enough!

My husband asked Mackenzie to do a piece for him to gift me on our wedding day and to say ugly tears where shed is an understatement. She gave me my papa and mama Ann back and made them present on our wedding day! It was the best gift i could have ever asked for and she portrayed them both perfectly 💙💙 i hang it proudly in my home so i can see it every single day! You will not regret hiring Mackenzie to capture a truly special day with people from your present or your past!
