Lucea drew a portrait for me and it literally got me on my knees. It was clear that the Spirit breathed into it as it carried power and His presence. It was an immense blessing for me and I'll be forever grateful for the generosity of her time creating this and for the great talent Yahuah has given her.

Hannah’s portrait spectacularly captures the magic of our special day! She was extremely professional throughout the whole process, and was able to work with us to incorporate any special details we requested. The timelapse she creates is even more special to have, and we look at it fondly on anniversaries, or whenever we want to remember our amazing day. We highly recommend Hannah to anyone. She made the whole thing a pleasure, and the keepsake you end up with is priceless!

Hannah's wedding portrait was easily the most unique and personal gift we received. She captured every detail of the photo it was based on, we looked exactly like ourselves. She also added her own flair and style by amping up the colours. It's like having an illustration of us from a beautiful, old storybook - we couldn't be happier. Additionally, the timelapse video of the portrait set to our wedding song was a lovely surprise extra - amazing to watch and see how she puts everything together. Hannah is very talented and I highly recommend her to anyone in search of an extra special wedding present.

Jacob did such an amazing job on our wedding day, interacted with our guests and even stayed later than planned. This was such a worthwhile addition to our wedding. We absolutely adore the finished painting, and couldn't recommend Jacob more highly!

I was excited to have Jacob painting at our wedding. He was very professional and it was easy to organise how we were going to fit him in with the wedding plans. Most importantly, his painting is absolutely beautiful. We both feel like he captured our likenesses and the overall painting is soft and romantic. We're very happy with it. Lois and Ash

We are just completely blown away by the painting. So beyond our wildest expectations & having my sister by my side where she should have been just makes it so much more special.

The sand art performance was absolutely magical and unlike anything I have seen before. It added a unique charm to the evening and had everyone spellbound. The artistic talent and creativity were truly impressive. Thank you for creating such an unforgettable experience.

We asked Jacob to do a live wedding painting for our wedding and the whole process was brilliant! Before we booked him he sat with us for a coffee to show us his style and to get to know what we were looking for in the painting. A few days before the actual day he took himself down to the venue to colour match so he could make sure the painting would be uniquely recognisable as the venue and ourselves (which it very much is). On the day Jacob was brilliant, arriving promptly meant we didn't have to worry about anything, he worked with the photographer to get pictures to paint from and then he got to work with the painting itself. Our guests loved chatting with him while he worked and you can almost see the conversations in the finished piece! Overall our guests (and ourselves) loved the idea of a live painting and the finished work is amongst our most treasured possessions.

We were thrilled to have Robin as our live painter for our wedding. He arrived early, set up seamlessly, and captured the essence of our day with incredible artistry. The final painting is a stunning masterpiece, beautifully reflecting the joy and love of our celebration. Robin's talent and professionalism were evident throughout the event. He made our special day even more unforgettable. We highly recommend Robin for anyone seeking a unique and cherished memento of their wedding. Thank you for your extraordinary work!
