The Koppenhavers - Holyfield Manor

 I think I've painted more live weddings at Holyfield Manor than anywhere else. This was one of those rare live wedding paintings where the couple wanted more of the focus to be on the location/venue than them. 

Live Wedding Painting - Holyfield Manor

 This is one of the first collage paintings I did - Joe and Maxine Abretski. Maxine came to me and wanted to know if I did anything above and beyond the standard "single image" live wedding paintings. This...this is the result. The painting consists of the bouquet of flowers, them cutting the cake, the first kiss, people tearing it up on the dance floor, the vows out at Holyfield Manor (Jessica the owner is one amazing human being...just saying) and the car they rode away in. One thing I do with my live wedding paintings is, if the wedding is outside, I grind up soil from the land the couple is married on into the painting, so that the couple will always have a piece of the land they said their vows on.
