Picture Perfect Reaction to Live Wedding Painting at The White Dove Barn

One of the best parts about being a live wedding painter is the grand reveal - the moment where the completed wedding painting is revealed to the couple. The bride’s reaction to this live wedding painting was so memorable! It’s no wonder that this reaction went insanely viral, reaching more than 2 million views on Instagram!

It was a true joy getting paint Katie & Clay’s ceremony on canvas. Before the wedding Katie and I chatted about what she had planned for the big day and what she was most excited about; shaping a plan for the painting.

I began the live painting during the ceremony and worked throughout the cocktail hour and reception. The guests were able to watch from start to finish, in awe of how quickly events happening around them were painted before their eyes.

Following the couple’s sunset photos, we set up the painting by the fireplace for the grand reveal.

“Lauren is truly such a kind, talented, and amazing artist and person. Not only did she bring my vision to life with the most beautiful live painting, she listened to any concern I had, specific things I wanted included, and truly was so patient ... ”

— Katie, bride

“Lauren was such a light on my day and to everyone she is around. I truly could not imagine not having this beautiful painting in my home. Lauren made the process so easy ... She is truly the best at what she does...”
