With Love From Heidi: Live Painting and Murals

Q: Is the painting done that night?

It depends on the size! The petite ones are done night of, you take it home with you! The medium ones you can choose whether you want the spontaneity and ease of one completed entirely on site, or the more detailed look of a studio touched up painting. The larger paintings give you a little bit best of both worlds: I have it looking great and photo-ready for those great end-of-the-night reveal shots, but I almost always take them back to the studio with me for loving touch-ups and really dialing up the dazzle factor of your most meaningful details.

Q: So, how does this work?

1. We connect - a first phone call helps us dial in the moment you want captured, and on what size 2. We book your date! With a contract and deposit - I do lots of flexible payment plans to help bring this in reach for everyone 3. I plan. I'm researching your venue for the best painting possible. 4. You and your guests enjoy! I am making magic, chatting, and dancing right along with y'all while I paint. 5. I take it back to studio to love on all the little details just a bit more. We'll coordinate pickup from there. 6. It's home! The painting comes ready to hang, and fill your home with the love of your big day.

Q: Is this those little watercolor portraits with no faces?

Nope, this is a grand, single eye-catching painting that captures the way your big day feels.

Q: I have a size in mind that doesn't fit one of your usual packages.

Terrific, it's great to already start with a creative vision! Let's do it.

Q: Does this have to be big? I have a small apartment

Nope! Check out La Petite package, perfect for compact wall space.

Q: How long have you been painting?

I come from a few generations of hobby painters, and grew up doing paint-by-numbers under the tree in the backyard with my mom, and sketching sleepovers and grandpa's house. (anyone else's grandpa always have those lemon drop candies?) It's always been part of my life. I've painted professionally for about 7 years now.

5 Stars for Love from Heidi

Five stars really isn’t enough but it was the most we could give! Heidi was so amazing from start to finish. She met with us ahead of the wedding so she could make sure to capture our values and get an image that made our special day even better. On the day of the wedding she was there early, with plenty of time to scope out the venue and find the perfect place to capture the moment. Her presence was so calming amidst all the chaos! Our guests loved watching her work and were so intrigued by the concept of having a live painter (as was I!). They were also so impressed at the fact that the painting really looked like us! (I mean… that IS the idea, right? Lol) Heidi delivered the final painting to us in a beautiful wrapping that looked almost too good to open. I would highly recommend her to any couples considering a live painter for your wedding- you won’t be disappointed!
Greatest wedding gift we could have asked for!

Heidi did a live painting at my wedding in November of 2021. The whole experience was absolutely incredible! Working with Heidi was a breeze. She walked us through the whole process, keeping it very stress-free for me, and had a smooth time working with our coordinator and venue. Our guests were so taken with the whole event! They would gather around throughout the wedding to watch the painting happen right before their eyes from start to finish. People got a real kick out of spotting themselves in the crowd on the canvas! We completley adore our finished painting and have it hanging on our living room wall. It's a one of a kind piece that means the world to us. Heidi is not only an amazing artist, but just an all around great and lovely person. Having her attend the wedding was our honour! For anyone that's looking to elevate their special day and add another touch of magic to it, you will not regret having Heidi do one of her live paintings for you! Don't miss out on this fantastic experience!

Heidi made an absolutely beautiful painting during my wedding this past August. As a professional dancer, it was so special to be celebrated by a fellow artist in this way. My guests were also delighted to watch Heidi work throughout the evening. She took such care in selecting the perfect moment from our sunset photos for the portrait. I loved how it turned out, perfectly capturing the rustic romantic setting. Not only do I highly recommend her work, but working with her was a dream. Her care for her craft and fulfilling our hopes for the piece shined through in every interaction. The process was a delight from start to finish!
