You will love working with Talia!

Our experience with Talia was the best I can imagine! We arranged the live painting at the wedding reception for our son and new daughter-in-law. Talia had already scouted out the venue and painted the overall background and setting (first dance on the pier at Lake Tahoe at sunset). During the reception, she added the details, including the bride and groom, and at the end of the reception, she had completed a stunning painting! The bride and groom were thrilled, the guests loved being able to watch Talia create this lovely work. Highly recommend Talia! We live in VA. I hope that when my other children get married, we can arrange for her to come east!

Amazing Paintings!

We hired Talia to live paint at our wedding at Valhalla in Lake Tahoe on June 4, 2021, and it was the best decision we made!! I cannot even begin to describe how talented she is, but she truly captured the most important people to us perfectly in her painting of our ceremony, along with all the beauty of Tahoe we wanted her to capture. She also completed a magnificent painting of my husband and I dancing during our wedding. The details in her paintings are just amazing! She was so easy to work with when we had to reschedule our wedding due to COVID. She even did a separate little painting for us to use for our "change the date" cards because of it. She was just wonderful from the beginning to end, and sent us some cards with our paintings on them as well, which we were able to use as "thank you" cards for our guests. Our guests raved about how cool it was to see her painting live and how talented she is. Do yourself a favor and hire Talia! You will not be disappointed!!

Talia Koval Live Wedding Painting

Talia is beyond talented. She captured the essence of my daughters wedding in the most beautiful museum quality painting. Looking at it transports is back to the moment. In addition Talia also produced a surprise water color because she was very inspired by the view. These paintings will be admired and enjoyed for many generations to come.

A Special Day That Lives In Every Brush Stroke.

At the time of our daughters wedding we did not consider a painting, only photography however when contemplating what first anniversary gift to give, a painting of the event came to mind. Through the venue we found Talia Koval and very much liked her artwork. Talia was commissioned to produce a painting that captured that special day and boy did she do just that, all within a 3 week period. We, and our daughter and son-in-law are overjoyed with the result. Fantastic job Talia, and thank you for producing this everlasting treasure for our family that says more than a photograph could ever say or do.

Amazing art lady

There's nothing more heart warming to see your loved ones daily. Talia creates master pieces of your loved ones and does just that, warm your heart when you visually see her work. I had a few paintings created from photographs from my wedding, and it just looks sooo much more artistic and beautiful when you know someone hand painted your image and your loved one. Her work is so on point, it literally looks like yourself in the painting! I had her create a painting of myself and my late grandpa, and now I can see this painting of "us" everyday, when I wasn't able to hold this image before. Talia is so kind, amazing, and prompt in her work ethics, she gained a client for life with me. Reach out to her, you won't be disappointed! xo M

My experience with Talia was INCREDIBLE!! We talked a few months before my wedding about my vision and my story and it was so nice getting to know Talia and having Talia get to know me. Having Talia paint at my wedding was such an amazing addition to our reception. Our friends and family still talk to us about it! Talia was so quick to respond and made sure our painting came to us when we were home from our honeymoon! Everything about Talia and her painting just really highlighted our wedding and it is so special to have!

I cannot begin to explain how amazing and talented Talia is! Working with her during our wedding was a pleasure. My husband and I decided to get a live painting of our wedding reception because we felt that we're going to have a lot of pictures but a painting is a unique memory to have. The live painting is not just a painting though. The experience of having Talia paint in the banquet hall was the talk of the party. Everyone was amazed as she was painting and she was interacting with our guests. As the night progressed so did the painting and the end product was INCREDIBLE! She captured every little detail of our first dance and the surroundings. If you are thinking about a unique addition to your wedding or event you will not regret having Talia paint for you!
