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!!

Are you interested?

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

She provided a lot of entertainment for our guests and provided a lifetime of memories. She was able to capture all of the memorable moments of our wedding. We truly enjoyed working with her. She created beautiful thank you cards and we are so excited to share her work with our guests with the thank you cards. I can't say enough about how great Talia is to work with and her talent. Highly recommend to have her at ANY event!

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!

Having Talia Koval live-paint at my daughter's wedding was one of my best decisions ever! She is a wonderful, extremely talented painter and captured the wedding couple's expression during their first dance perfectly (as well as the parents, wedding party and other guests). The finished painting truly took my breath away. I knew, from seeing samples of her work, that it would be gorgeous but somehow it even exceeded my expectations. And another thing - Talia took the time to get to know my daughter and I months before the wedding (via face time). Now that's what I call being a professional. In addition she was friendly and welcoming to any of our guests who stopped by to observe her at work and to ask questions. I am beyond thrilled!!! Thank you Talia for capturing my daughter and son-in-law's wedding and for being there. You are amazing!

Nataliya created a magnificent painting that captured one of the most important moments in our lives! All the guests couldn't stop talking about the painting and were amazed at the details! We are very happy that we decided on livepainting as our “something special” for the wedding and were lucky with the Nataliya’s professionalism, flexibility and amazing talent!

My wife and I were looking to do something very special for my sister's wedding. We decided on a live painting and searched online to find an artist that we felt make beautiful art and would represent the new couple well. We found Talia Koval and reached out to her. Her paintings are full of color and life-like expression. Not only was she immediately responsive, but she took a real interest in getting to know the couple and their story. On the wedding day she painted a beautiful scene, very true to form. She also painted 2 smaller pieces (free of charge) for moments that she felt were very emotional and would make lasting memories (first dance and father-daughter dance). It was also fun for the wedding guests to watch her create the works in real time. She is a beautiful artist and the value you receive is incredible. I would recommend her to anyone.

Having Talia Koval ( aka Nataliya) create my wedding portrait was by the far the best decision my husband and I made. The portrait Talia made for us is just exquisite, her attention to detail, capturing the essence of my wedding beautifully, incorporating my ceremony and reception in a single canvas-We were blown away! I absolutely love my piece and every time I look at it, it takes me back to my wedding day and I am reliving the happiest day of my life. Thank you Talia for this priceless portrait, this will be treasured forever!

Last year, I contacted Natalia after seeing her work from a wedding of a friend. She has painted a beautiful portrait of the couple's first dance. There I was, nursing my newborn for endless hours a day, trolling Instagram! I instantly thought, I wish I could have had that done for my wedding. Then I wondered if Nataliya would paint a portrait of my family spending time together. I contacted Nataliya to see if this was something she would do. Nataliya is so easy to talk to, always responsive and cares very much about her clients. She instantly took on to my idea and even helped decide on a place we could be outdoors with our dog in the portrait as well. We decided on Park Winters during the Spring after several dates had to be rescheduled due to weather issues (during which Nataliya was very patient and flexible). The day came and my family was very excited about the spot we picked. Park Winters is beautiful and the owners of the property are so welcoming. Nataliya got there early, set up, and when we got there she didn't need us to sit still or anything. She let us be in the environment and captured a beautiful moment in time during our family picnic. Later, when we went to pick up the portrait, she treated us to a special unveiling and IT IS STUNNING. Absolutely gorgeous. My family and I will cherish this forever and it will be enjoyed for generations to come. We've put up the portrait in our family room where it has now become a focal point in our home. I could not be happier with the portrait. Everyone loves it and we've gotten so many compliments already. My friends have even said that they are going to steal my idea! Thank you Nataliya for making this special keepsake such a great experience. We love you and your work!!

Having Nataliya at our event was very special and the painting we received will be cherished forever as it is truly one of a kind. She was professional before, during and after our event and what we ended up with went beyond our expectations. All of our guests were amazed at the experience of a live painter and most had never seen anything like it. Nataliya is very talented and we were lucky to have her be a part of our event.

The work Nataliya does is wonderfully unique! As a wedding photographer myself i always try to capture the most meaningful pictures of the event but there is not picture that can capture multiple moments as Nataliya's work does in a single canvas. We have our painting in the living room and it reminds us everyday on how beautiful that day was. I would highly recommend Nataliya to immortalize your wonderful day in her beautiful artwork!

We had such a wonderful experience with Natalyia. She was flexible, worked directly with my wedding planner and gave our wedding a uniqueness. I dont think most of the guests knew she was there, but the painting she created captured all of the highlights of our wedding and we really enjoyed the experience. She was professional, very responsive and the turn around time afterward was perfect. I would highly recommend this company if you are looking for a special memory from your wedding that is so special and cant be replaced

Overall, I love our painting. Nataliya was very accomodating and worked with my wedding planner to ensure she was in a good spot for the best painting. She incorporated all the different highlights of my wedding and the finished product is up in our house. It was one of the very first pictures we hung up. I really appreciated the attention to detail and ease of working with her. I would recommend her for any wedding that my friends had

I was in search of a live painter to capture our wedding for quite a while, but wasn't sure it would all work out. Our caterer provided Nataliya's contact info, and from the moment we connected via email I knew booking her for our wedding was going to be the best decision ever. She was professional, kind, and asked all the right questions beforehand to make sure she delivered exactly what we were looking for.

At the wedding the guests LOVED her presence, as did we. Throughout the entire wedding she was painting, interacting with guests, answering their questions, all with a smile. She was truly the highlight of our day, and we are so happy with her painting of our wedding ceremony that we got to take home that night!

All of our guests had never seen a live painter before, and our wedding venue was so impressed that they are hoping to see her at another wedding someday soon. Thank you so much Nataliya for helping make our wedding day even more special! If you're considering a live painter, please do yourself a favor and reach out to Nataliya.

Cheers, Melissa and Spencer- 8/28/16

I hired Nataliya for my wedding when I saw her work at a friend's wedding. Her work is amazing! In fact, she was the first vendor I booked! She captured our first dance and it's perfect! You won't regret hiring her and having the masterpiece that she'll create for you!

We discussed ideas of what we wanted, but what we ended up with far exceeded our expectations. All of our guests were blown away at the experience of a live painter and most had never seen anything like it. She was open to minor changes we wanted to make and even additions. She has a beautiful gift and we were lucky to have her be a part of our wedding day.

I reached out to Nataliya after seeing her work on Instagram and I immediately fell in LOVE!!!!! Her work is amazing and I thought it was SO cool that she does live paintings! I reached out after my wedding to see if she can make a painting from pictures of our big day and she could!! (YESS!!!) I gave her 4-8 pictures and what I wanted to re create from our big day. She did an AMAZING job and exceeding my expectations and my Husbands. Nataliya's work is flawless and creates a memory taht will last forever! Thank you again!!

We thoroughly enjoyed working with Nataliya! She performed a live painting of my son and daughter-in-law's first dance at their wedding as a surprise gift from me and my husband. The finished piece is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! And, as an added bonus, she is a complete joy to work with...so pleasant and accommodating. I wish I knew when my younger son's were going to get married so that I could "pre-book" Nataliya!

It was great working with Nataliya. She was very responsive and professional. She painted my wedding ceremony and it turned out great! The painting is now the centerpiece in my living room and we all love it! During the wedding, people were fascinated with her work so they were asking her a whole bunch of questions and I was very happy that she was really friendly to everyone and answered all of their questions. I would highly recommend Nataliya to everyone that needs a live event painter. She's awesome!

Nata is wonderful! I was so excited about the idea of a wedding painting. Not only is it a beautiful memento of our big day, but it's a fun element for guests to see at the wedding. We met with Nata at a studio she works out of in SF to chat and we decided on a canvas size, 18x24. We put down a deposit immediately! She asked for some photos of us and key people that we wanted in our painting so she could get a feel for what she was painting. Her service is so straightforward that it was nice that we didn't need a lot of correspondence leading up to the wedding. She arrived early to the venue, and painted us during our ceremony. It was wonderful seeing her there and so many guests complimented on her and how unique it was. She took some photos immediately after the ceremony of us in our wedding attire and left. we opted to have her complete the painting with small details in her studio (I think is cost a little more but I can't remember) and I'm glad we did. The painting turned out incredibly detailed. She sent us a photo of it and asked if we were happy with it- I asked her for some small tweaks (people's noses in particular) and she made the changes for us and delivered it to our house. Nata was great to talk with, she was an easy vendor to hire and work with....easy peasy! Thank you Nata for a wonderful memory of our wedding that's going to forever hang in our home! I will refer her over and over.

There are so many things I want to say about Nataliya, I'm not even sure where to start! My husband and I had the pleasure of seeing a live event painter at a wedding in Pittsburgh when we first started dating each other. When we got engaged, the first thing we did was begin researching the possibility of having one paint at our wedding, and it was the best decision we could have made. From the very beginning, Nataliya was responsive and sweet. We had no idea what scene we wanted captured in the painting and Nataliya's vision and creativity along with amazing talent produced a keepsake of our wedding that we will cherish forever. She interacted with all of our guests and everyone was blown away to watch as she started with a blank canvas and finished with a beautiful work of art. Being a bride and groom on a tight budget (as many are) this is an expense worth every penny. Thank you, Nataliya! We are so happy you were a part of our big day! : )

Having Nataliya paint our wedding was one of the best decisions we made during the whole process. She is a true artist, talented, passionate about her work, a visionary, and very committed. Our wedding was very long, so she suggested a Triptych painting, and oh my goodness...all three paintings, are gorgeous on their own, but together they flow like one exquisite masterpiece. Her attention to detail, wonderful disposition, and strong work ethic, made her a pleasure to work with, every step of the way. She even created beautiful cards out of our painting that I intend to use as thank-yous. Lastly, her prices are extremely reasonable. I am so happy we found her!!

Nataliya is a truly talented artist! The painting that she made of our first dance is absolutely beautiful and captured the uniqueness of our family and our big day perfectly. The first time I saw it, the painting took my breath away. We even got to add our own touch into the painting. :) She was excellent interacting with our guests and everyone loved her. Our guests still continue to comment how awesome it was to have Nataliya there even months after our wedding. Not only did she travel all the way to Illinois to paint a part of our big day, she even gave up her birthday to stay and finish the painting! What an honor to have her capture one of our favorite moments that day! We would highly recommend her - you will not regret it!

Nataliya is a truly talented artist! The painting that she made of our first dance is absolutely beautiful and captured the uniqueness of our family and our big day perfectly. The first time I saw it, the painting took my breath away. We even got to add our own touch into the painting. :) She was excellent interacting with our guests and everyone loved her. Our guests still continue to comment how awesome it was to have Nataliya there even months after our wedding. Not only did she travel all the way to Illinois to paint a part of our big day, she even gave up her birthday to stay and finish the painting! What an honor to have her capture one of our favorite moments that day! We would highly recommend her - you will not regret it!

Finding Nata was one of the best wedding planning decisions we made for our wedding. Not only are her works amazing, but she is so kind and possesses exemplary customer service. She was very flexible with us and we decided on a painting that would best fit our needs. She never pressured us to order a larger painting or one with more detail.

Leading up to the wedding, Nata was so detailed-oriented, requesting pictures of our bridal party and the dress in order to capture the smallest details the day of. Nata goes above and beyond for her clients and her efforts showed in the amazing work she painted for us.

When I met her on my wedding day she was so sweet and was kind and informative with our guests. One of the coolest aspects about a live event artist is that they are entertainment for the guests. Everyone was so impressed by her talents. Everyone captured in the painting looks exactly like people and the way she captured the ambiance and beauty of our wedding day is exactly how I remembered it.

I cannot recommend her enough for your special event, because she excels at making a special, unique, and beautiful product. Not only weddings, but family events where she can depict the closest of family members, company events (I think she would do a fantastic job at wine industry events), and even a more intimate, private event.

Nata is amazing, and I am almost sad that the painting is done and now hangs beautifully on our wall because that means I do not get to talk to her on a consistent basis anymore!

I cannot thank Nataliya enough for the beauty she brought to our wedding. Not only was she such a pleasure to have, watching her capture our day and see the painting unfold was so incredibly special. Her painting is truly my most favorite reminder of our day. Absolutely beautiful!

I used Nataliya for my wedding. My sister had gifted me a live wedding painting at my shower and I was so excited. I decided to upgrade my sisters gift to the 24 x 36 and I am so happy with it. my painting hangs over my fireplace and I smile at it every time I see it. Nataliya captured my husband and I during our first dance, our family members--I definitely recommend incorporation of key members of the family--my wedding cake, my centerpieces...she was even able to incorporate my church in the background. The painting is very special and I'm so pleased with it. In addition to the beautiful work that Nataliya created she was a pleasure to work with. She is professional, she's responsive, punctual, she's everything that you want in a wedding vendor and I must say she was probably one of the easiest vendors to work with throughout the whole process. we still keep in touch she shares work with me, she remembers my husband and I during the holidays and sends cards, I feel like I made a friend. Definitely recommend her!

Nataliya was amazing! I can't say enough nice things about her. She is the epitome of professional, talented and personable. Our guests loved her and the original painting she created in conjunction with guest participation was just breathtaking. It was a joy working with her and I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking to add a special & unique twist to their event or occasion.

Nataliya came to the University of Virginia in August of 2013 as part of our annual Welcome Week event for the students who are new to the University and about to begin classes. Natalie perfectly captured the culture of the University by doing a live painting of the Rotunda, UVa's most famous landmark! She was easy to work with and the students loved her! We still have the painting hanging up on campus for the students to see. We are constantly getting compliments on the painting and students continue to talk about the event almost a year later.

A Wedding Hit!

Talia's live painting elevated our Napa wedding beyond just a celebration. Her artistry captured the emotions and atmosphere with stunning accuracy, weaving in personal details like our beloved cats and more. This attention to detail made the final piece a priceless keepsake.

Watching her mesmerizing work became a shared experience, captivating guests and amplifying the day's ambiance.

We wholeheartedly recommend Talia to anyone seeking a unique and unforgettable way to capture their special occasion. She helped make our wedding truly magical. Thank you, Talia, for the masterpiece!

Exquisite Artist! Talia Koval is talented, professional and a very sweet person. I wanted to add live painting at our June 2018 wedding as a gift to my now husband. I booked Talia 12+ months in advance, and collaborating with her was a joyful experience. She has this warm personality and genuine intrigue towards our love story. She wanted to “nail” our wedding theme and love story altogether. I remember having at least one phone conversation and one face-to-face appointment with her so she can get to know her client prior to the big day. Overall, the final product speaks for itself. People were in awe, and the painting couldn’t be more precise! Furthermore, she made sure it gets shipped to us safely and in mint condition (we live in Canada). :)

Nataliya created a beautiful painting for us of our wedding ceremony and reception. We are absolutely thrilled with the final art piece! We had so many guests coming up to her at the wedding marveling at her work and it really brought a unique aspect to it. She was easy to work with leading up to the wedding and very accommodating, especially after when we wanted to make changes to the final painting. Would easily recommend her to paint any of our friend's weddings too!
