Kentucky weddings are full of charm and character, and that’s one of the reasons I love working here. I was born and raised in Kentucky, and much of my family still lives in the state, so I have a deep appreciation for its unique landscapes, traditions, and local culture. Whether it’s the rolling hills of horse country, the rustic beauty of family farms, or elegant historic mansions, the state offers a variety of stunning backdrops for live wedding paintings. My painting style blends romantic realism with heartfelt details, so you’ll be able to relive your special day every time you look at your artwork. I enjoy traveling throughout Kentucky to bring this one-of-a-kind experience to couples across the state.
