We absolutely loved having Stine as our live painter for our wedding! Not only is she incredibly talented, but she was also so sweet and wonderful to talk to throughout the evening...
. It was so much fun watching the painting come to life, and our guests absolutely loved seeing her work in real time. We had so many people come up to us throughout the night to tell us how amazing and talented she was! We can't wait to enjoy the finished painting for years to come. Thank you, Stine, for creating such a beautiful keepsake from one of the best days of our lives!
- I reached out to Stine in 2024 for my 2026 wedding. I was in awe of her work online and couldn’t wait to book her. She gave me her prices and told me that her 2026 bookings weren...
’t open yet but she would reach out in January of 2025 to book. I forgot about it and Stine promptly reached out to me in January to book for my 2026 wedding! We discussed on the phone my vision for the painting and am very excited to see it all finished. Stine is very professional and explained her process thoroughly. She arrived promptly to the venue and came along with our photographer to capture our pose and background. I am still waiting for the painting as she needs to do finishing touches on it but where she left it at the end of the wedding night, the painting already looked immaculate. It was awesome watching her painting progress throughout the night.
From the very beginning of wedding planning, I knew I wanted a live wedding painter to capture our first dance. After doing my research, I knew Stine was the one. From our very fir...
st conversation, she was absolutely wonderful and genuinely cared about our wedding. She took the time to learn about our day and our love story—how we met, what mattered most to us—and made the entire process feel so comfortable and personal while helping bring my vision to life.
Our guests thought this was the COOLEST thing, and the final painting was everything we dreamed of and more. This picture honestly doesn’t even do it justice—it is even more wonderful in person. We truly cried when we received it in the mail because it is just so beautiful. We cannot recommend her enough and cannot wait to hang it in our home and cherish this memory forever. Her talent is unbelievable—if you’re looking for a wedding painter, she is your person!
Our live painter, Stine, was an absolute show-stopping highlight throughout the entire wedding day. Guests could not stop raving about her and her incredible talent — watching her ...
paint in real time became an experience in itself and added such a special, elevated touch to our celebration.
She beautifully brought our ceremony moment to life through her art, capturing the emotion, romance, and magic of the day in a way that words simply can’t. I am already counting down the days until I get to see the finished piece once she finalizes it and adds our fur baby — it means so much to us and will be a treasured keepsake forever.
In addition to the live painting, Stine also created a stunning custom champagne bottle for us, which is now proudly displayed as a centerpiece in our home. It’s such a meaningful reminder of our wedding day and her thoughtful artistry.
Beyond her incredible talent, Stine is truly kind, warm, and an absolute joy to talk to. She is someone you immediately feel comfortable with, and her presence alone adds to the experience. If you are looking to elevate your wedding day in a truly unforgettable way, Stine is the person to hire!!!

We truly cannot thank Stine enough! She painted our wedding exit for us and did an amazing job! We were a little worried because Stine had not done many South Asian weddings based ...

uch a busy time. She came to the church where we got married to get the photo for our painting which was at 1:30pm and she stayed through the whole reception which started at 6:00pm. Stine captured the details of the church and me and my husband so well. She is so talented. She was even able to drop off the picture to us which was incredible. Thank you Stine for making this beautiful keepsake that we will cherish forever!
