What a treat it was to capture this wedding on canvas, it was this floral lover’s dream! As a proud New Yorker born into a Mets family, being asked to paint the wedding of Talat and Sean was an honor and so exciting. I’ve done weddings where Mr. Met made an appearance and thought it couldn’t get cooler than that, but painting the wedding for a pitcher of the NY Mets and his lovely new wife takes the (wedding) cake.

I had the joy of painting the wedding of B&R, and they were such a sweet couple to work with, as were their friends and family I met that day. I loved being able to witness and capture the their beautiful ceremony on canvas. My job has given me the opportunity to witness and appreciate wedding ceremonies from so many different cultures. Even when I attend a religious or cultural ceremony I’ve seen before, there’s always something unique that makes it special to each couple. Back in college, I was an anthropology major (shoutout @sunyoneonta !) with a strong interest in cultural anthropology specifically. While I didn’t continue down that career path, I love that I still get to learn something new with every wedding I’m a part of. 💛 Planning: @eventscherished

T&M’s wedding felt like the definition of a perfect spring day. The stone barn at @bluehillfarm paired so beautifully with the vibrant blooms by @florist.song and I loved bringing it all to life on canvas. Planning and design by @mudaricreative

Baseball season is back! Hand-painted jackets (and bags!) are always a favorite of mine to do, especially when clients give me full creative freedom. But it’s a bit extra special getting to do a design for a team I grew up cheering on. Had so much fun bringing this little set to life for a tiny human to wear to root on her dad. Let’s go Mets!! 💙🧡

📸: @lindsaystephanyphoto Last year, while visiting my sister and her new fiance, Michaela said “Paint something for our save-the-dates.” So I grabbed some scrap paper and right there on their couch, painted a few little illustrations for their postcard design. A few months later came the text that it was time do their invitations. Getting to illustrate their wedding stationery, inspired by a place that meant so much to our family growing up, complete with easter eggs like the skeleton key, was incredibly special. All hand-painted, scanned in, and finished off with Michaela’s Canva magic.

Taking a break from wedding painting content to share this one. I love painting people’s furry best friends. Acrylic on 22”x28” canvas

D&H’s flower-filled ceremony, captured live on canvas. Their painting was completed and displayed for guests to see as they arrived to celebrate later that day at the reception. I have just one more wedding booked for this year (NYE!) and then it’s onto 2026! Planning: @_aconnection Venue: @marigold_nj Design: @jpdecor #livepainting #livepainter #njweddings

Captured P&N’s vow in front of the dreamy fireplace at @thefarmhousenj framed with flowers by @laurelbrookfloral A guest thought I pre-painted my backgrounds, but I always arrive with a blank canvas, often without even seeing photos of the venue beforehand. I start the background about an hour before the chosen moment and paint through the celebration. This painting was finished and handed off to the newlyweds by the end of the night! #livepainting #njwedding
