Valentina sets up her easel at the ceremony, behind the guest seating. She comes with everything she needs. As the guests come in, they’re intrigued to see a painter, applying the first brushstrokes on the canvas.
Dining and Dancing
If the celebration moves to a separate dining or dance area, she follows with her easel. Guests enjoy passing by, to take a peek, ask questions, and share their impressions!
Twilight Finish
As the sun dips low, the art is left illuminated on its easel for everyone to enjoy.
Studio Time
Once the festivities have come to an end, The work is brought back to the studio to be completed over the next couple of weeks; refining forms and details until it is as beautiful as the emotion and spirit of your day.

A gust of wind catches her train just right.
Wishful bubbles blow through.
Our bride and groom jump over a broom.
Dew sparkles on the flowers.
The band plays in celebration,
and the magnificent cake makes its appearance.
In a single painting, many moments come together, like poetry.
The Artist
Marina Valentina is an artist who joyfully commemorates love. Her paintings capture moments beyond the reach of realism. with decades of commitment to painting, she is able to evoke the atmosphere of the day, it's nuance and feeling, through careful selection of color and brush strokes, and an insatiable attention to fleeting details; glimmers, and reflections. The painting is built of marks made up of the essence of the love present at each celebration.
”Our guests were so impressed that we had a live painting happening and they realy enjoyed watching the piece take shape before their eyes. It was a really lovely way to capture us all sharing the moment together.”

”I loved how Valentina was totally organized and self-contained, having her mobile set-up made it easy to integrate with our wedding layout. Also, I noticed how many of our guests (and some of the shyer ones) were curious and drawn to chat with her and admire her work. Her station became a pleasant and welcoming focal point for guests to engage.
The finished piece is more beautiful than I could have imagined, dynamically capturing the pinnacle of our Vows with incredible detail.”
~ Rebecca Smith
"Working with Valentina was a dream. We couldn't believe how perfectly she captured our wedding in a single painting. Our theme was whimsical-magical, and she absolutely nailed it! Now we have a forever cherished, one of a kind, work of art that commemorates our love and wedding day. We feel lucky beyond words! Thank you Marina!"
