Thank you! It was a pleasure working with you earlier this month! I sincerely appreciate your kind words.
I am blown away!! What a beautiful painting!
From the initial consultation to the final reveal, Raeven was an absolute dream to work with. Her passion, her attention to detail - I have no words.
What really stood out to me was how she took the time to get to know us as a couple. She asked us questions about our love story, our favorite moments, and what we loved about each other. She listened intently and incorporated all of these details into the painting. From the little bouquets in our favorite colors, to the expressions on our faces- It's clear that she genuinely cares about creating a piece that speaks to our unique love story.
She sent me regular updates throughout the creation process, keeping me informed every step of the way. I loved being able to see the painting come together, and I felt like I was part of the creative process.
The finished piece is absolutely stunning. It’s so colorful and beautiful! We reared up when we opened the package! And the handwritten letter was such a nice surprise! Thank you for creating a beautiful piece that will always remind us of our special day! Highly recommend!

I am absolutely thrilled with the wedding painting we commissioned from Raeven! From the moment I reached out to inquire about a special piece for our home, I was so relaxed during the whole process. She was prompt in her responses, asked a lot of thoughtful questions to understand my vision and style, and was unlike anyone else I’ve worked with.
I love the painting! So so much!!! The packaging was beautiful and the handwritten card was a lovely gift. The colors, composition, and feel of the piece in our living room are all perfect. I've received countless compliments from friends and family, and it's become a treasured keepsake in our home.
I highly recommend Raeven to anyone looking for a wedding painting. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for us make her a true artist and a pleasure to work with. Thank you!!!
