About this vendor

Based in Reno, Nevada, but happy to travel, Studio Wride is a live wedding painter that creates gorgeous keepsakes and favors of your special day. Hey there! I’m Sydney – the artist behind Studio Wride. I specialize in quickly painting your guests in watercolor for a one-of-a-kind experience. Your guests will love being documented in this unique and memorable way.

Services Offered

Here’s how it works: I photograph your guests during cocktail hour. They pose in any way they want, solo or in groups, and I quickly sketch and paint them. Guests can pick up completed portraits at the end of the night, and any unfinished paintings will be completed in my studio and sent to the newlyweds. Along with those portraits, the happy couple can request two other complimentary custom paintings depicting special moments from their special day, like a rendering of the wedding cake, the first kiss at the altar, or the venue. All paintings are done on high-quality 5” x 7” watercolor paper with professional-grade paints. Don’t miss out on this unforgettable addition to your perfect day by Studio Wride.

A pleasant surprise for guests!

Most aren’t surprised to have a photographer at a wedding, but not everyone expects to see an artist painting their portraits through the event! Our guests loved the experience of getting their portraits done and seeing everyone else, too. Sydney and her assistant were so thoughtful, and it was such a pleasure to work with them. I highly recommend Studio Wride for any special event. The portraits make a nice “thank you” gift for everyone attending your event!

Hire Sydney!

I found Sydeny from randomly scrolling through local vendors on here. And I thought what a fun thing to have for our guests! They loved it! Its not something you typically see and its a keepsake for them they would actually take home and hang up. Sydney is also as sweet as can me and just really makes you feel like family same goes for her assistant. It was so fun to have them there, you should definitely hire her!! Thank you again for being part of our special day!

Sydney Made Our Wedding Day Even More Magical

I found Sydney after she popped up on my Instagram feed, and as soon as I clicked into her profile I messaged her right away to see if she was available. From the start she was so easy to plan with—responsive, friendly, and clear about everything.

She arrived at our wedding venue ahead of schedule (such a pleasant surprise!) and set up seamlessly. With everything going on that day, having someone who could jump right in without any questions or issues was a huge stress reliever.

Our guests absolutely loved the surprise, and her artwork was incredible. The attention to detail—especially on the dresses—and the added touches of sparkle made each piece truly beautiful. I have nothing but positive things to say about Sydney and her professionalism. We highly, highly recommend her!

A Stunning and Memorable Experience!!! Highly Recommend

We hired Studio Wride for our 230-person wedding in Seattle, WA, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Sydney is incredibly talented and efficient. Her live watercolor portraits amazed everyone. Beyond her skill, she is such a joy to work with: kind, calm, and genuinely engaging with each guest. Our friends and family couldn’t stop talking about how much they loved her and the unique keepsakes she created for them. If you’re looking for a way to elevate your event and give your guests something they’ll cherish for a lifetime, this is it. We highly recommend Sydney and Studio Wride!

I highly recommend Sydney!

I worked with Sydney to make custom menus for my wedding and it was such a fun experience to be able to explain what I was looking for and see it come to life. Sydney is so talented and made the process so easy. I highly recommend working with her!

Syd is perfect

Syd made some incredible art from the little details of our wedding and it’s something I will cherish forever! She was quick, sweet, and professional. She has an incredible talent and is definitely worth booking.

The vendor you didn't know you needed at your wedding!

I met Sydney at a wedding last summer at her art booth at a wedding I was shooting. (I am a wedding videographer myself) I have seen live artists at weddings before but Sydneys art is by far the most creative I have seen! She creates beautiful art portraits of guests during the wedding reception and they have so much character and appeal to them! She is also a lovely and friendly person that all your guests will love. I promise if you book Sydney it will be one of the best investments you make at your wedding!
