The Smoky Mountains in East TN are among the most popular of wedding destinations in the US! I frequently paint mountain weddings in nearby Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, Chattanooga, Johnson City, The Magnolia Venue, The Trillium Venue, Blackberry Farm, Anakeesta, Howe Farms, Castleton Farms, Waterstone, Dollywood, and more!
Regional
I love traveling to the many wonderful nearby southern cities and towns, such as Nashville (our Country Music Capital) and
- Asheville, NC
- Atlanta, GA
- Kentucky
- South Carolina

- Virginia
USA
It is such an honor that many couples ask me to paint across the country. I regularly travel to some of the finest wedding venues in the US! Some of my favorites are:

Global
I've had the privilege of traveling to dozens of countries across the globe: from Fiji, Australia, Europe, the tropics, and the Caribbean. My website is unable to calculate pricing for international destinations, but please contact me to discuss! You can also try putting a distant location within the US (ex: Las Vegas), to get a sense of your investment size.

What To Expect

Phone Consultation

1 hour phone consultation with artist ~3 weeks before wedding to discuss details of the painting and what moment the couple wants painted.

Live Entertainment Timeline

I arrive 1-2 hours early to set-up a single location and start sketches/painting. I paint 4 hours live at your wedding, finishing by 9pm.

Presentation

The majority of your painting is finished during the event so that your guests can see the painting progress in real time. I also present my progress to the couple and allow them to make their own mark on the canvas! I bring the painting back to my studio for final detail work.

Insurance

Up to $1,000,000 liability insurance coverage.

Completion

Upon your approval, I carefully package your painting for shipping. If you're in the area, you may also pick-up from my studio.

Agreement

Once your payment is received, I make the necessary reservations and confirm with you that your date is booked! In addition to reserving your date on my calendar, I book travel, book a hotel, coordinate with your venue or wedding planner, purchase a canvas on your behalf, and more. Full payment is required before your event and refunds cannot be issued if you cancel. Please see the terms for complete details.

Before Studio Refinement
I paint the majority of your portrait on-site to capture the essence of your event for an everlasting memory.
After Studio Refinement
All paintings include studio refinement, where I complete the details of the painting.

Inspiration

Pick your moment

Ceremony, first kiss, just announced Mr & Mrs, first dance, candid moment, or artist choice.

Inspiration

Your vision is mine

I am not limited to time and space with how things happen. I can superimpose, enlarge, eliminate, and embellish to create the prefect scene.

Inspiration

Rain is a good thing 🎶

If it rains on your wedding day, I capture the rainwater in my paint so that you can have it permanently incorporated in your canvas.

Inspiration

I love participation!

I love having guests watch, chat, and photograph as I paint. Given my history as an art instructor, I sometimes even allow your guests to contribute to your painting!
