I received my painting as a surprise on my wedding and was completely taken aback. It is the most incredible, unique wedding gift. Diana was so professional and engaging throughout the process. On the day, everyone admired the painting, and it was a delightful surprise for my husband. We cherish it and proudly display it in our home.

Di painted live at our August 2021 wedding. Her communication from booking to the event was exceptional, clarifying the day’s timeline. Di arrived early, and seeing her painting as I walked down the aisle was beautiful. Guests loved watching it come to life. It’s now a cherished piece in our home. Highly recommend Di!
TARYN P.
We hired Diana to live paint at our wedding at Cloughan Castle in July 2023. It was the best decision! Our guests were in awe of her talent and watching the painting come to life. She delivered a one-of-a-kind piece that captured our day perfectly. When UPS lost it, she repainted without hesitation. The painting is amazing in our living room. Highly recommend Diana!
SIOBHAN C.
Diana captured our October 2023 wedding beautifully. She was responsive from start to delivery, making the painting come alive at our reception. The detailed final piece arrived safely in the US, perfectly wrapped. It’s now a cherished memory of our day. Highly recommend Diana for unique wedding mementos.

Diana did a painting for us on our wedding day. She was so professional and spoke to me a lot on the run up to the day. On the day everyone was so impressed with the painting and it was a really nice surprise for my husband! We have the painting hung in our hall and we love it so much, it’s beautiful!
