Lauren and marco at the Madison Hotel

This past september I created a painting live at the wedding of Lauren and Marco,  at the Madison Hotel, Morristown, NJ.
Lauren is a celebrity make-up artist (http://www.rosinabella.com/) who often works with wedding guru David Tutera on his hit show "My Fair Wedding". Needless to say, she knew exactly what she wanted for her own big day. The ballroom at the Madison Hotel  was elegant and regal and Lauren was a breathtaking bride.The couple opted for very simple centerpieces, alternating between hydrangeas and submerged cala lilies in tall cylandrical vases. Lauren also had a bottle of wine on the table in front of each guest, which doubled as their party favor.
    The groom's two brothers gave fabulous speaches durring the reception, and I felt as though I really knew them as a couple by the end of the evening. This wedding was really about the two of them and their love for eachother; often couples loose sight of this durring the planning, but not Lauren and Marco. Therefore, the one instruction Lauren  gave to me was that she wanted only her and her groom in the painting, and that I should capture them durring their first dance. Since the bride was no stranger to details, I was actually a bit nervous about her reaction to the outcome of the painting. I loved it, but would she? The answer was yes. She was thrilled and the couple couldn't have been more gracious hosts to all of their guests and vendors. What a class act!
