The Mother of all Live Wedding Painters
Jaw Dropping, Heart Stopping
Maggie was not only a master behind the canvas, but also a true professional. She arrived on time, maintained a friendly and approachable demeanor, and made us feel truly at ease throughout the whole day! We mostly dealt with her sister, Melody, throughout the planning process and her level of communication is impeccable as she was always willing to answer a text, email or call whenever we had a question, so we knew we were in good hands the day of the wedding. We interacted with Maggie as the wedding got closer to go over the necessary information to capture, transform and bring to life the ideas we had for the vision of our wedding painting. She was a true champion throughout our outdoor wedding, on July 12th, in Virginia! After hearing what particular image we wanted painted, she suggested many different ideas and shots, which ended up helping the painting become our favorite memory from the day. She threw in a couple of our requested “Easter eggs”, which included our two dogs, Lola & LeBron, a cardinal for our lost loved ones who couldn’t be at the wedding, and most importantly to me (the bride) a tribute to my father who died and was not able to be with me on this special day.
Receiving the finished painting at the end of the night was our greatest gift of all. We’re blown away by the level of craftsmanship and artistry. Our painting is a true work of art that evokes the joy and tenderness we experienced during those precious moments. Maggie managed to encapsulate those emotions and create timeless memories that we will cherish forever! Working with Maggie has been an absolute pleasure from the moment we were chosen to the end of the wedding day. Her exceptional talent, professionalism, and dedication to her craft makes her a stand out choice in the world of live painting! We wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone seeking an extraordinary and unforgettable wedding day! - The Canavoses

Magical Maggie
The Ultimate Gift
I'd relive my wedding all over just to have her there again and share that special moment with my husband watching her add my parents into the portrait (who have already passed on). If I could give 20 stars, I would. Love you Maggie! xx
If a picture is worth a thousand words, Maggie's portrait of us is a timeless library encased in a single frame.
She not only captured a moment but eloquently encapsulated years of commitment, months of unfolding emotions, and an essential instance destined to echo through generations.
With her delicate strokes and masterfully chosen hues, Maggie did more than paint our likenesses; she intricately wove the palpable dream of our special day onto the canvas, bringing to life the most enchanting moment of our lives together.
Her presence was like a silent hug, that warmed every guest, as they watched her craft our commission.
Every glance at her work doesn't merely transport us back to the memories of the day; it pushes us into the very second of joy that will perpetually live within our hearts.
Choosing Maggie to immortalize a snippet of the beginning of our life together wasn’t just a decision; it was an investment. An investment that provides us with a perfect account of our inaugural day, blessing all our tomorrows together.
Her talent, transcending mere artistry, captures moments with a timeless elegance that now graciously gilds our home and perpetually echoes within our hearts.
Maggie, from the depths of our hearts, thank you for painting not just the moment, but immortalizing the most cherished memory we hold of one another.
Your creativity, meticulous attention to detail, and transcendent talent allow us to feel the love for one another through your painting each and every day.
We are forever grateful.

Once in a lifetime!
