I learned how to paint sitting at the feet of my French grandmother. She was a lifelong artist. She taught me that painting starts with seeing, that the artist must learn to look past the surface of a subject and find its truest essence. Because that's where the magic is.
So here I am, decades later, still hearing her voice at every wedding I paint. Every time I begin setting up my easel and considering how I will paint these beautiful newlyweds, she's there reminding me to look not only for the right shapes and colors but also for the magic that glows between these two. The indescribable je ne sais quoi that makes every love perfectly unique.

"Alyssa was a surprise from my sister, she went above & beyond all of my expectations. Her communication and work is immaculate, I couldn’t recommend her enough! If you’re ever questioning if a live painter is worth it, I can 100% say that it’s the best memory we have from our wedding!" ~Brianna
"I cannot say enough good things about how wonderful it was to work with Alyssa! She is kind, patient, and extremely talented! The guests loved watching her work, and our painting is something that we will cherish forever and pass it down from generation to generation. We are so grateful!" ~ Miriam
"I got Alyssa to do a painting based off of a few photos from my wedding ceremony. I specifically asked her to capture a moment that no one else was quite able to get on camera :) two birds flew overhead just has we were saying our vows and it was beautiful and Alyssa was able to capture that with two cute little birds above us! She is fantastic to work with, I had one suggestion to tweak my husband's head just a bit and she did it with no problems! It's nice when artists will listen to you and want to make your painting absolutely perfect! And it definitely is perfect, and even more stunning in person! 10/10 would recommend to any other brides!" ~ Taylor
"My fiancé and I considered several very talented artists, but none of them struck the perfect balance between realism and impressionism the way Alyssa does. It was an easy choice, and the painting she made for us turned out even better than we hoped." ~ Samantha
"We just picked up our painting from the framer and immediately hung it up. I'm in awe once again now that it's actually hanging on the wall. It brings tears to my eyes to relive our special day like this. Thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts." ~ Hollyn
"At the end of the night, I just wanted to stand and look at the piece she created. The detail in the art she creates is jaw-dropping." ~ Hollyn
"Alyssa and her husband were nothing shy of perfect! They brought the perfect fun but elegant activity for my guests at my rehearsal dinner. My guests raved about them and how fun it was! Alyssa was so easy to work with through the process and communication was perfect. I never once had to worry about what our game plan was or if things would run smoothly. They kept up with our rowdy bunch and painted as many couples/fun photos as they could throughout the night perfectly! If you want a fun guest activity that is timeless, yet so fun and unique then Alyssa and her husband doing live guest paintings is what you want!!!" ~Meagan
"Having Alyssa at our wedding was one of the best parts of our big day! Her live painting was a surprise for my husband and his reaction is such a special memory. She was absolutely incredible to work with leading up to the ceremony, and communication afterwards was unmatched. We loved seeing her updates on Instagram as she put the finishing touches on our painting! She made us feel so special throughout the entire process and we are so thankful to have such a unique keepsake from our wedding. The finished product is even better than we could have imagined and our guests were commenting on her work all night long!" ~Kelly
"If you are considering booking Alyssa Love and her husband to do live guest paintings, do it! We went back and forth on whether adding guest painters was within our budget (vs maybe a photobooth), and now I can say without a doubt it was worth every penny. One of the only things our wedding guests commented on was how much they loved the sketch of themselves. Nobody said anything about the food, the cake, or the music, but boy were they happy about taking home a sketch! If you want happy guests, live guest painting is so worth it - not to mention how friendly and talented Alyssa and her husband are! I've already framed the sketch of my husband and me and have it proudly displayed at our house. :) Thank you, AlyssaLoveArt!" ~ Emily
"Alyssa was one of the first vendors we booked for our wedding, we fell in love with her attention to detail in her paintings. After booking her, we learned she is as equally kind as she is talented. We had some uncertainties about what scene we would like painted and she helped by giving us realistic advice that made us all the more comfortable. She was never one we had to worry about or babysit, she was on top of everything! I always love to watch what creation she’s churning up next because no two paintings are the same, each one has their own magic touch. Could not recommend her more!" ~ Allison
