"Absolutely stunning"

John painted at our wedding and the result is absolutely stunning. He captured each person beautifully and it the painting very much resembles each family member he captured.  It was a cool part of our wedding to see our guests stop and watch him paint in amazement.  Everyone has been asking me to see the finished product because they were watching him throughout the night. I can't wait to hang it in my living room!

"Favorite part of the reception"

"Cool and new"

"We have so many guests still talking about what a fabulous idea it was to have John painting live at our wedding. For a lot of people, watching him paint was a favorite part of the reception! I was happy that our guests had a great view of the painting and could enjoy watching how it progressed during the evening. 
We wanted something a little different for our reception and this definitely made it for us. It seems that it was one of the most memorable parts for our guests. We already have the painting hanging up and we love it. I wouldn't have changed anything about the experience; I'm very happy with how it all came out!"

Having John there at our wedding reception was amazing! Everyone loved to check on the painting through the evening to see how it was turning out; we heard from all our guests about what a cool, new idea it was to have him there! As a surprise element it was really fun. 
We were so impressed with how friendly and easygoing he was as all of us came right over to see the painting and ask him questions! 
When we heard that he was taking the painting back to the studio for finishing touches, we were surprised because we thought it was already completely done by the end of the night! We love the painting itself; it's gorgeous. He captured the moment while even making the venue appear more beautiful in the painting than it was in person. Everything about the process was perfect.

"Without hesitation..."

"Beyond Excited"

"Everyone Loved It"

While at an industry event, John’s work was on display while he was painting off to the side. Without hesitation, I recognized the couple in the painting as two of my coworkers! I hadn’t been to the wedding nor I had even seen pictures. The likeness was incredible. The painting lines were soft but still showed their most defining features. Some people really have a gift of capturing these amazing moments in the most ethereal of ways. Between the flowers on the tables and the lace of the bride’s dress, the work was just stunning! As an event professional, I would highly recommend John’s services.

Thanks again for working to make our wedding one of the best experiences of our lives! You were so pleasant to work with throughout the entire process. We are beyond excited for the finished painting to arrive.

Having John paint at my friend's wedding was such a nice experience and so lovely. Everything about it was perfect: the guests loved seeing the painting get started and the bride and groom love the result. It was such a unique gift for me to give as the maid of honor. Everyone loved it -- I would love to spread the word about John's event painting!
