Custom painting from photos
Turn a treasured moment into a cherished heirloom
Maybe you hadn’t heard of live wedding painters when you got married—but you wish you had. Maybe there’s an image that you couldn’t have at your wedding, but you want to recreate using photos. Or maybe you want a painting of something else entirely.
A custom painting from a photo allows you to get a second chance at those moments, so they can live on your walls and bring you joy and comfort every day.
Whatever you’re imagining, I can paint it
A portrait beside a loved one who’s no longer with you
A painting to immortalize your bouquet
A landscape that evokes your favorite place
A portrait of your beloved dog, cat, or horse
A painting from one of your favorite wedding photos
Our wedding guests were so intrigued—they had never seen a live wedding painter before.
The finished painting is stunning. I can’t find the words to describe how much we love it.

Debbie Bowman is the BEST!
I got married in 2019 and found her on Tiktok this year. I texted her pictures and videos from the wedding and she immediately got on a phone call and described the painting I wanted(she read my mind). She even added my dogs to the special memory.

"So many guests were excited to see how she was progressing with the painting as the night went on."
Debbie was the talk of our wedding!

We just received our art piece, and it is truly a work of art.
Debbie was the most amazing live painter for our wedding! She was incredibly responsive to our vision, so professional throughout the wedding day, and just an overall joy to work with. She puts such attention to detail and love into every piece, and we really felt that in ours.

During the reception, our guests LOVED watching Debbie paint away!
Most of our guests had never heard of a live wedding painter, and we’re astonished by her work! I had numerous guests come up to me and say things like, “Have you seen the painting yet!? It’s amazing!”

It was such a joy to have her at our wedding; our guests couldn’t get enough of it.
With everything I had stressing me out and running through my head leading up to that day, Debbie was not one of them. The final reveal blew our minds; her attention to detail made me tear up, and we were speechless. Every time I look at our painting, I am brought back to that day and feel the love all over again.

How I create your custom painting from a photo
When you inquire, tell me about the painting you want to commission. I can paint to match a single photo exactly, or I can combine elements from different photos—the choice is yours.
Commissions are done on a first-come, first-served basis. If you’re thinking of holiday gifts, book early to secure a spot that ensures your painting will be done on time.
When it’s time for me to start your painting, you’ll hear from me. Then I get to work in my studio, drawing from your photo(s). The process typically takes 2 to 4 weeks, from the first pencil stroke to the final coat of varnish.
The finished painting will be shipped directly to you on gallery-wrapped canvas, with hardware for hanging.
